Book excerpt: The Neohumanist educational paradigm is one of the lesser known but most unique in the world today. The present volume is intended as a comprehensive volume on Neohumanist education that reveals the context of this educational paradigm within the context of the kaleidoscopic dimensions of Neohumanism. It aims to serve as a resource for those who desire to study Neohumanist education in depth by providing information concerning the conceptual and existential background of the philosophy of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. By exploring unique features of its vision of cardinal values, psychology, epistemology, culture, social justice, aesthetics and mystical love, the roles of the Neohumanist educator is revealed. Unique to most pedagogical paradigms are explorations of the nature of spiritual practice or meditation as well an introduction to the spiritual cosmology of the author. Finally various aspects of Neohumanism and education are explained in a series of discourses.
