A friend, guide and Philosopher:
Dr. Sri Jagannatha Swami (B.Sree
Jahannathan) M.A. M.Phil. Ph.D. a doctorate
scholar from the Department of Philosophy,
Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai, India is
an eminent philosopher and the first
philosophical practitioner of India. In his past
ten years of experience he had saved many
people from disasters. His methods are purely
philosophical and unique. It is his pride that the
people call him as “Friend, Guide and
Philosopher”. It will be a memorable
experience for the visitor just to be with him
for an hour. He is available online on prior
appointment also. You can send e-mails
explaining your problems and seek his
guidelines. Everybody needs some one to listen
his/her problems. But unfortunately in this fast
world no one is ready to hear others’ problems.
For such persons really this is a good choice.
| Dr.Sri Jagannatha Swami received his Ph.D award during the convocation held on 24.10.2004 at Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai, from the Honourable Governor of Tamilnadu. |

Values are roots of the culture of a nation and guiding principles of life. Values
guard the society from degradation of culture. Human Values are related to divine
not to the world. Every one of us is well versed with these values. But we apply
them in our practical life with less interest. We have inbuilt values. But due to the
material life that we lead, they are masked by ignorance.
A value is a relationship between an individual and the society. In fact
values are the pillars of humanity. Values take more significance. We can
understand values in regard to both social and individual. Values are based on
ethics. Such ethical values are essential to sustain societies and to generate
members to the society with moral qualities. Values are classified broadly under
two categories.
1. Moral Values
2. Social Values
Both of these categories are inter-related, and one cannot exist without the other.
Moral values are personal values, supported and guided by spirituality. Personal
values are followed out of one’s own interest in order to achieve personal and
spiritual development while social values are cherished and practice to keep the
society in harmony.
The present education system is not enough to develop students with respect to
moral values. Morality should not be conditional training to students. Moral
education involves both making the students to think morally and behave morally
in a natural way. It must be developed to cognitive level. A person who behaves
morally knows of the moral values in his actions. Hence, moral education is
complicated process of teaching values, to make value oriented and to make
them emotionally truthful.
Value education is an attempt to develop broad mindedness,
tolerance and proper social and emotional qualities. It also develops sincerity
and responsibility. It gives a chance to emerge with leadership qualities. Value
education aims at training the young in the entire realm of values
physical, emotional, intellectual, imaginative, aesthetic, democratic,
scientific, social, moral and spiritual - which can be pursued by any
individual irrespective of his practice of any religion or no religion at all.
Value education does not have any religious barriers. It is common to all religious
and in fact most of the values are taken from the famous beliefs of the various
religions. Morality and spirituality are the two facts behind Value Education. These
two do not require any rituals or ceremonies in which religions differ.
Real education has to teach man how to live with happiness and peace. The
lessons learned in classrooms are forgotten immediately after the student leaves
the doorsteps, today. We expect our children to learn to earn. But equally
important is character. The Human Value programme is designed as a tool for
the development of character. It is not a form of dictation to or brainwash of an
individual, but rather to offer him a secure base from which he may take his own
moral decision.
Recently many Schools and Colleges have started showing much interest in
value education based on human excellence and academic excellence. Let us
hope for certain remarkable changes in our education system soon.

school children and college students. Interested persons may please contact:
