Himalayan Skill University is inspired by the lives and ideologies of one of the towering figures in the long and illustrious spiritual history of India and regarded as one of the main moulders of the modern world: Our Inspiration.
While undertaking the tremendous task of freeing humanity from the shackles built through ignorance, Swami Vivekananda insightfully pointed out the ultimate and broad goal of education as the manifestation of perfection inherent in man. Further, he outlined the ways in which the system of education had to be revamped and revivified in order to better suit this purpose and personally set in motion the task of translating these ideals into the field of action.
As an institution deriving inspiration from Swami Vivekananda, HSU strives to bring into fruition a wholesome system of education as envisioned by Swamiji and the rich educational landscape of India and the world at large.
Swami Vivekananda on Education:
The following quotes give a picture of Swamiji’s vision of education in his own words:
“Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas.”
“We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.”
“What is education? Is it book-learning? No. Is it diverse knowledge? Not even that. The training by which the current and expression of will are brought under control and become fruitful is called education.”
“To me the very essence of education is concentration of mind, not the collecting of facts.”
