Abstract
The role of education in shaping the future of society cannot be overstated. Education is the foundation of a nation's development and progress, and it is the key to unlocking the potential of its citizens. The importance of education in shaping the minds and personalities of children is well-recognized, and there is a growing recognition of the need for a holistic approach to education. This study aims to understand the impact of Vedic education system (VES) on the physiological well-being and personality development of children, as compared to the contemporary education system (CES). The study is based on the principles laid down by Swami Satyananda Saraswati and Sri Aurobindo, who emphasized the need for a five-fold approach to education, which includes the physical, vital, mental, psychic, and spiritual aspects of human development
