Abstract
The Thesis entitled “Peace and Harmony: A Core Concern of Osho's Education”
endeavors to analyze, compare and contrast the system of prevailing education with Osho's
vision on education.
Osho, as a spiritual master, opposes the existing education system in the world and
forwards different scientific and religious approaches to maintain peace and harmony. He
combines his metaphysical ideas with the scientific innovations for the spiritual upliftment of
human beings as a whole. His focus on the birth of higher soul and genius baby is possible by
modern science and technology. Peace and harmony of the world is completely based on the
baby who takes birth in future.
Osho's scientific approaches are to be accomplished by transformation in the system of
education. His objection on the mind-centered education is supported by other Indian religious
thinkers like Krishnamurti, Gandhi, Vivekananda, Radhakrishnan and so on others. For them,
mind-centered system should be replaced by heart-centered for global brotherhood.
As a whole, education should be for life sake, not only to maintain livelihood. Osho's
core teaching is of love and meditation, that is for life sake. He wants to see 'Jorba-the Buddha'
by transformation in the education system.
