PRANAMS Her Holiness Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi Chancellor, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Education for Life The main purpose of There are two types of education: education should be to impart a education for a living and education for life. culture of the heart - a culture based on When we study in college, striving to become a doctor, a professional, a lawyer, spiritual values or an engineer-this is education for a living. On the other hand, education for life requires understanding the essential principles of spirituality. This means gaining a deeper understanding of the world, our minds, our emotions, and ourselves. We all know that the real goal of education is not to create people who can understand only the language of machines. The main purpose of education should be to impart a culture of the heart - a culture based on spiritual values. Communication through machines has even made people in far off places seem very close. Yet, in the absence of communication between hearts, even those who are physically close to us seem to be far away. Today’s world needs people who express goodness in their words and deeds. If such noble role models set the example for their fellow beings, the darkness prevailing in today’s society will be dispelled, and the light of peace and non-violence will once again illumine this earth. Let us work together towards this goal. (Excerpts from the speech delivered by Her Holiness Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi at the Parliament of World Religions held at Barcelona-Spain 2004.)
