Let me once again set forth the
Bhavan's faith for the benefit of new students and members,
for it is necessary that they should understand it clearly and
imbibe its spirit.
The Bhavan stands for the reintegration of Indian culture. In
a world falling to pieces under the impact of an amoral
technological avalanche, it tries to hold fast to the
fundamental values for which our culture stands - RITA, SATYA,
YAGNA and TAPAS:
 |
|
FAITH in
God who informs the Cosmic Order; |
|
|
|
TRUTH which is accord between mind and
word and deed; |
|
|
|
DEDICATION which offers all moments of
life as an offering to God; |
|
|
|
SUBLIMATION which purifies the body and mind
and transmutes instincts, passions and emotions into
things of beauty. |
| |
|
This, regardless of forms and
doctrines, is Dharma, the three-fold aspects of which are
SATHYAM,
SHIVAM,
SUNDARAM - Truth, Love and Beauty.
For these values our
forefathers lived and died. So did Sri Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa, Swami Dayananda, Swami Vivekananda, Gandhiji and
Sri Aurobindo, among the moderns.These values are embedded in
our national outlook, we command the respect of the world
because of them.
We can look forward to the future
with confidence only because they have the vitality which
gives the power to vindicate their validity even in this fear
and avarice ridden age of ours.
We, the Bhavan's family, whether
it is the smaller one or the larger one, must take every
effort in restoring an awareness of these values in personal
and collective life.

Bhavan and
its Objectives
The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan
stands for the re-integration of Indian Culture and
re-vitalization of Dharma in its three-fold form of Truth,
Love and Beauty.
| |
-Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram. |
Aims,
Objectives and Philosophy
Kulapati Munshiji’s vision of
education based on fundamental values is the aim & objective
of all Bhavan’s institutions.
Ideal education should impart
knowledge, shape the character, and mould the personality of
the child; it should assist hi in imbibing and assimilating
the social, moral, ethical, and spiritual values so necessary
for the development of an attitude of service. Effective
education should help in transforming the child into what our
Shastras describe as “Puranapurasha”.
Purpose of
Education
“Education would fail
ignominiously in its objective, if it manufactured only a
robot and called him an economic man accenting the adjective
‘economic’ and forgetting the substantive ‘man’. A university
cannot afford to ignore the cultural aspects of education,
whatever studies it specializes in. Science is a means, not an
end, whereas culture is an end in itself. Even though you may
ultimately become a scientist, a doctor, or an engineer, you
must, while in college, absorb fundamental values which will
make you a man of culture. An engineer has not merely to build
bridges; he has to be a devoted husband, a kind of father, a
friendly neighbor, a dutiful citizen, and a man true to
himself. He will have trials and tribulations; his heart will
fail him at times; he will then need the strength which true
culture alone can give.”
