📄 Abstract
Rabindranath Tagore, one of Indias most influential thinkers, poets, and educators, revolutionized the concept of education by placing art, music, and literature at its very heart. His philosophy stemmed from his deep conviction that education should nurture the total personality of the learnerintellectual, emotional, aesthetic, moral, and spiritualrather than merely transmitting information. The present research paper explores how Tagore conceptualized and implemented his educational vision through creative expression, the integration of the arts, and the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature. It analyzes the philosophical foundations and practical implications of his ideas, especially as manifested in his experimental school at Santiniketan and later at Visva-Bharati University. The study also reviews existing literature on Tagores educational thought and discusses its continuing relevance in the 21st century, where mechanized and exam-oriented systems still dominate. The paper concludes with suggestions for revitalizing modern education through Tagores aesthetic and humanistic principles, emphasizing that the integration of art, music, and literature fosters creativity, emotional intelligence, cultural awareness, and universal harmony.
