Abstract

Abstract Spiritual value is one among the four values (purusharthas) in Indian culture. Today’s world is fully engaged with worldly desires and financial orientation and thus the education system also lack the spiritual virtues. The youth of this era gets a few opportunities to develop spiritual values from the formal stream of study. For developing spiritual values the person should have to develop the purity of mind, concentration and hard working mentality. As per Indian philosophy, there are three ways for spiritual development like Bhakti yoga, Karma yoga and Jnana yoga. One can select one among the three ways in accordance with his/her basic temperament. The curriculum for under graduate courses may include the spiritual matters along with the materialistic matters. The teacher (guru) has to play a vital role in spiritual development. There are different approaches like Self centered approach, Critical enquiry approach, Total atmospheric approach Integrated approach and Objective plus approach for developing the spiritual values among undergraduate students. The educators can use any of these approaches to develop spiritual well versed graduates. Keywords: Spiritual values, Undergraduate students.
