Modern education is largely based on an Industrial mindset which views schools as factories and students as raw material. This has led to a mechanization of human society and the gradual decline in emphasis on creativity and real experiential learning. India's approach to education has always based itself on its deeper yogic insights into human psychology. It founded itself on the perception that every child is a soul in evolution. It looked upon the apparatus of human nature and recognized the essential principles and processes by which the human personality develops, learns and grows. Some of these insights of yogic psychology are discussed as well as the mechanism of their result in education.
