Abstract: The present study explores the continuity and educational relevance of the teachings embodied in The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna within the context of contemporary education. In an era marked by rapid technological advancement, moral uncertainty, social fragmentation, and increasing materialism, there is a growing need for an educational framework that promotes holistic human development. Sri Ramakrishna’s teachings, though primarily spiritual in nature, contain profound educational implications related to character formation, value cultivation, self-realization, religious harmony, and humanistic development.
The study adopts a qualitative and philosophical research approach based on documentary and content analysis of primary and secondary sources. It critically examines the educational principles reflected in The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna and analyzes their continuity in modern educational thought, particularly in the areas of value education, inclusive education, and holistic personality development. The investigation further explores the relevance of Sri Ramakrishna’s ideals of truth, compassion, universalism, and spiritual awakening in addressing contemporary educational challenges.
The findings reveal that Sri Ramakrishna’s teachings provide a strong foundation for an inclusive, valueoriented, and transformative educational framework. The study concludes that his Gospel continues to inspire educational thought by emphasizing the harmonious development of intellectual, moral, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of human personality, thereby contributing significantly to the creation of a humane and ethically grounded educational system in the twenty-first century.
