Abstract

Mrs. Besant's fervent desire was that the whole world should be uplifted, the progress, development and sublimation of the human race without exception, so the sublime or superior system of ethics seems to be particularly important in her opinion, more than the rational, intellectual concept of the universe. Anna, the son of a steadfast Christian devout couple and the wife of a pastor in the case, also had an unwavering faith in the Christian doctrines. It was the basic basis of morality and also of universal fraternity. In the end, under the influence of her inquisitive and reflective logical nature, her experiences and experiences, she not only rejected the traditional form of Christianity but she also became an atheist. She became an atheist because her vision was fixed on improving the conditions of life on this earth instead of the hereafter and she forgot the existence of God in the face of the zeal of service to man. Even when she was theistic, her interpretations of religion had no place for dogmas and superstitions that create differences between religions. The present research paper deals with the relevance of Annie Besant's philosophy of education in modern times in which her life and social philosophy as well as Theosophical philosophy influence spiritual education.
