Introduction:-
Brought up in the west sri Aurobindo had the first hand knowledge of the western system of education . Like Vivekananda and Tagore he was also conversant with the advantages of european system of education.
Though one of the greatest admire of ancient India thinks -Aurobindo was a votary of the synthesis of whatever is good in East and West.
This attachment is visible everywhere in his thought . He suggested to maintain a system of education " proper to the Indian soul and need and temperament and culture that we are in quest of not indeed something faithful nearly to the past but to the developing soul of India to her future need to the greatness to her coming self creation to her eternal spirit .

Educational Philosophy of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh:
He was not only are one of the greatest philosopher and yogi of his time but also one of the greatest political leader social reformers and educationist of his era . He believe that the real truth of science and religion was already contained in the Vedas . He aimed at gradual spiritualization of the society . He welcomed and age of supermind where the realization of good freedom and unity will pre dominate in all social groups .

Sri aurobindo believe that Education must be accordamce with the needs of our real modern life . In other words Education should create dynamic citizer so that they are able to meet the needs of modern complex life . He considered the individual as " A growing soul with a being a nature and capacities of his own "  Res. 9(01), 1090-1091 1091 the aim of education therefore was to realize these capacities and grow into a fullness of physical and vital energy and almost breadth depth and hight of his emotional his intellectral and his spiritual being.
Harmony is the key to understand Sri Aurobindo's thought everywhere . He also seeks harmony of different individuals in a community compatability and not uniformity is the love of collective harmony .
The roles of the male and female different types of individual in a community are not identical but divers and therefore complimentary . Thus he proposes and educational system in which details must be planned according to individual differences . This is particularly true about the womens' education , educational backword classes and education of below normal abnormal and super normal children .
He has established the edifice of his philosophy upon his theory of evolution . It goes with the truth of evaluation .
All most all the thinkers of our age has felt and realise the need of evaluation in the presence educational system . therefore he aims at the evaluation of the individual nation and humanity through education of the individual nation and humanity through education . This evolution will be continued as spiral . It is hence that Sri Aurobindo aims at nothing else than supermental education . Evolution involves not only growth but also than formation not only adjustment but also a more intimate harmony . In fact he makes us understand that this evolution can be achievement by men's opening and waiting with uniting devine . In other word this require devine perfection .

Teacher taught relationship:
Sri Aurobindo suggested activity method , observation , self discovery , discussion method , learning by doing , learning by self experience . He inculcates certain sound painciples of good teaching which have to be kept in mind when actually engaged in the process of learning . According to him the first principle of true teaching is that " nothing can be taught " . He explains that knowledge is already dormand within the child and for this reason . He thinks the teacher not be an instructor or task master rather " he is a helper and a guide ". The role of the teacher " is to suggest not to impose ".

Conclusion:-
To conclude our discussion on the philosophy of education as givin by Sri Aurobindo clearly points out that this is a new experiment in education . Accourding to him teaching is a very respectable and responsible job . So he suggested they teacher should be careful enough to observe the working of the student minutely . He discarded the punishment and the stimulation of fear . His philosophical foundation and psychological credibility is sound to such an extend that so long as such a band is not available , it is just an experiment .
