VALUE EDUCATION IN THE BHAGAVAD GITA

Description

This book explores the concept, meaning, and significance of human values in modern life. It examines how fierce competition and material prosperity have distanced individuals from one another, generating global conflict and distress. Addressing this crisis, the text argues that acquiring and developing human values serves as the essential remedy to restore peace, meaning, and direction to human existence.

The study details the four primary dimensions of values: philosophical, sociological, psychological, and spiritual. Philosophically, it investigates truth, beauty, goodness, and the realization of the self. Sociologically, it focuses on social norms, cooperation, and collective well-being. Psychologically, it analyzes human impulses, character development, and the pursuit of excellence. Spiritually, it addresses inner orientation toward a higher reality.

Ultimately, the book frames education as a crucial value-development enterprise necessary for fostering righteous behavior, self-realization, and harmonious living at both individual and societal levels.
