Education is not merely the transfer of knowledge or acquisition of skills; it is a transformative process that strives to create individuals whose minds and bodies are nourished, nurtured, and elevated by the greatest wisdom known to humanity. True education aligns with one’s Svabhava (innate nature) and Svadharma (individual duty) and equips the individual to pursue the highest goals of human life as envisioned by his or her civilization!
