Teachers Day: The Teachers Day celebrations take place on September 5 across India, to mark the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was an Indian politician, philosopher, and statesman who served as the second president of India from 1962 to 1967. He previously served as the first vice president of India from 1952 to 1962.
Teachers Day
When Radhakrishnan became the President of India, some of his students and friends requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday, on 5 September. He replied,
“Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if September 5th is observed as Teachers Day”
Hence, India has been celebrating Teacher’s Day since 1962 on 5th September.
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was a scholar, politician, philosopher, and statesman from India. He served as India’s first Vice President and second President. Radhakrishnan spent his life and career as a writer attempting to describe, defend, and propagate his faith, which he referred to variously as Hinduism, Vedanta, and the religion of the Spirit. He wanted to show that his Hinduism was philosophically sound as well as ethically viable. He often seems to be at ease in both Indian and Western philosophical contexts, and he draws on both Western and Indian sources in his prose. As a result, Radhakrishnan has been hailed as a symbol of Hinduism to the West in academic circles.

The Political Career of Radha Krishnan
In this section, we will discuss the political view and career of Radha Krishnan. His tenure as Vice president and finally how he became Radhakrishnan president.
-
After a promising academic career, Radhakrishnan began his political career later in life. His political career came after his foreign impact.
-
He was one of the stalwarts who attended the Andhra Mahasabha in 1928, where he advocated the idea of renaming the Ceded Districts division of the Madras Presidency Rayalaseema.
-
In 1931, he was appointed to the League of Nations Committee for Intellectual Cooperation, where he became known as a Hindu expert on Indian ideas and a convincing translator of the role of Eastern institutions in contemporary society in Western eyes.
-
Radhakrishnan’s involvement in Indian politics, as well as foreign affairs, grew in the years following India’s independence.
-
From 1946 to 1951, Radhakrishnan was a member of the newly formed UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization), sitting on its Executive Board and heading the Indian delegation.
-
Radhakrishnan was also a member of the Indian Constituent Assembly for the two years following India’s independence.
-
The demands of the University Commission and his continuing responsibilities as Spalding Professor at Oxford had to be balanced against Radhakrishnan’s commitments to UNESCO and the Constituent Assembly.
-
When the Universities Commission’s report was completed in 1949, Radhakrishnan was appointed Indian Ambassador to Moscow by then-Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, a position he held until 1952. With his election to the Rajya Sabha, Radhakrishnan was able to bring his philosophical and political beliefs into motion.
-
In 1952, Radhakrishnan was elected as India’s first Vice-President, and in 1962, he was elected as the country’s second President.
-
During his time in office, Radhakrishnan saw a growing need for world peace and universal fellowship.
-
The importance of this need was driven home to Radhakrishnan by what he saw as global crises unfolding. The Korean War was already in full swing when he assumed the role of Vice-President.
-
Radhakrishnan’s presidency was dominated by political conflicts with China in the early 1960s, followed by hostilities between India and Pakistan.
-
Furthermore, the Cold War split East and West, leaving each on the defensive and wary of the other.
-
Radhakrishnan questioned what he saw as self-proclaimed international organisations like the League of Nations’ divisive ability and dominant character.
-
Instead, he advocated for the promotion of an innovative internationalism focused on integral experience’s metaphysical foundations. Only then will mutual understanding and tolerance be encouraged between cultures and nations.
Philosophical Thoughts by Radha Krishnan
-
Radhakrishnan attempted to bring eastern and western ideas together, defending Hinduism against uninformed Western criticism while also integrating Western philosophical and religious ideas.
-
Radhakrishnan was one of Neo-most Vedanta’s influential spokesmen.
-
His metaphysics was based on Advaita Vedanta, but he reinterpreted it for a modern audience.
-
He recognised the truth and diversity of human nature, which he saw as grounded in and endorsed by the absolute, or Brahman.
-
Theology and creeds are intellectual formulations, as well as symbols of religious experience or religious intuitions, for Radhakrishnan.
-
Radhakrishnan graded the different religions according to their interpretation of religious experience, with Advaita Vedanta holding the highest spot.
-
In comparison to the intellectually mediated conceptions of other religions, Radhakrishnan saw Advaita Vedanta as the best representative of Hinduism, as it was based on intuition.
-
Vedanta, according to Radhakrishnan, is the highest type of religion because it provides the most direct intuitive experience and inner realisation.
-
Despite his familiarity with western culture and philosophy, Radhakrishnan was critical of it. He said that, despite their claims to objectivity, Western philosophers were influenced by religious influences from their own society.
Death of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
-
Radha Krishnan’s Sivakamu died on 26 November 1956. He never remarried and he was a widower till his death.
-
In 1967, Radhakrishnan stepped down from public life.
