A philosophical, theological, enlightened teacher takes society from darkness to light. A teacher who sprinkles the sacraments on white squares and blackboards and leads the way on the great path can brighten the future of the country. One of the best sages who changed such a world is our Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishna.
Today, a man who is immersed in the politics of the country knows how to play politics but this is the personality who changed the direction of politics. It can be said with certainty that the personality of some good people in the country is forgotten with time. Very few peoples knew this personality because this is the queue of this Kali Yuga in which only Ravan Raj praised!!
This is the great man in whose memory we celebrate Teacher’s Day. How to infuse the sacrament? In each of these ceremonies he adopted an educationalist policy. He always said, ‘Education is the supreme basis of human and society’.

When Dr. Radhakrishna was the Vice President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the President. Then in the 19th, China invaded into India. For this, he believed it is the result of India’s weak leadership. There was already bitterness in the relationship between him and Nehru because Dr. Rajendra Prasad and Nehru had similar differences. He was a Congressman. Radhakrishna was firm and steadfast. He was not happy with the functioning of the government but he was bound because the President could do nothing without the approval of the Prime Minister. He was like a parrot in a cage.
