Abstract:
Sarada Devi, revered as the spiritual companion of Sri Ramakrishna, is a pivotal figure in the Ramakrishna tradition, known for her profound teachings on spirituality, compassion, and moral values. Her insights continue to inspire individuals seeking personal and collective growth. This qualitative study explores the significance of Sarada Devi's teachings in today's educational landscape. Using thematic analysis, we examine her philosophical framework, which highlights spirituality, moral values, and character development. The results suggest that her teachings offer ameaningful alternative to prevailing educational models, enhancing student well-being, promoting teacher self-care, and strengthening societal connections. With the growing focus on holistic education and the pressing need to tackle issues such as mental health and ethical disengagement in schools, Sarada Devi’s teachings align closely with the current challenges in education. By incorporating her principles, educators can create environments that prioritize not only academic achievement but also personal growth and social responsibility, resulting in a more balanced and compassionate educational experience for everyone involved.
