Swami Vivekananda's life mission was to empower individuals through "Man-making education", which to him meant nurturing the complete development of a person - mind, body, and spirit. He believed education should go beyond just learning facts and passing exams, and instead help bring out the hidden potential within each learner. For Vivekananda, intellectual growth and spiritual wisdom were intertwined, and he advocated for a balance between the two. At the core of his philosophy was the beautiful synthesis of science and spirituality, which he saw as complementary, not contradictory, allowing individuals to live a more holistic, fulfilling, and purposeful life. This paper delves into the very aspect of Vivekananda's idea or the vision of Education posing an integrated rather than contradictory approach between Rationality and Spirituality. It explores how his philosophy of education seamlessly blends the coexistence of science and spirituality by addressing four fundamental questions: 'Who, Why, Where, and When.' Through an analysis of his teachings based on these principles, we will uncover how science and spirituality are not opposing forces but rather complementary elements that, together, shape individuals capable of meaningfully contributing to both society and their own personal growth.
