This paper makes an attempt to highlight the relevance of the educational philosophy of Swami Vivekananda with a view to suggesting it as a model for formulating changes in the pattern of the existing system of education in India. This is being done keeping in mind the unprecedented and irreparable changes that have occurred in the attitude of the students, teachers, educationists and the public towards education, employmentand life in general in the post globalization period of India. In this context ‘unprecedented changes’ refer to students’ increasing obsession with Western culture and other contingent habits leading to a perceptible aversion towards indigenous knowledge, teaching methods, learning objectives etc. After making a close study of Vivekananda’s philosophy of Education the researcher agrees with the view that Vivekananda’s philosophy of education which advocates man-making education and awareness of paths to attaining atmagnanaas the goal towards which students should be led to. This study makes use of textual analysis and interpretation of primary and secondary literature in the disciplines of Indian Philosophy, Education and many others so as to identify some tenets of the philosophy of Vivekananda that could form the basis of our argument.
