He died on April 17, 1975.
Birth and Family:
Dr. Radhakrishnan was born on September 5, 1888, in Thirutni village of Tamil Nadu, which is located about 64 km from the then Madras. The family in which he was born was a Brahmin family. His birth place has also been noted as a holy pilgrim center. Radhakrishnan's ancestors first lived in a village called 'Sarvapalli' and in the middle of the 18th century, he had evacuated towards Tirumani village. But his ancestors wanted that the name of his village of his birthplace should always be with his name. That is why his family started wearing 'Sarvapalli' before his name.
Dr. Radhakrishnan was a poor but wise scholar Brahmin. His father's name was 'Sarvapalli Veeraswami' and the mother's name was 'Sitamma'. His father used to work in the revenue department. He was responsible for the maintenance of a very large family. Veeraswami had five sons and a daughter. Radhakrishnan's place was second in these cultures. His father was discharging the family with great difficulty. For this reason, child Radhakrishnan did not get any special pleasure in childhood.
Student life:
Radhakrishnan's childhood was spent on religious places like Tiruttani and Tirupati. He spent the last eight years in the thirties. Although his father was of old ideas and he had religious feelings, he sent Radhakrishnan to the Christian missionary institution Lutheran Mission School, Tirupati in 1896-1900. Then in the next 4 years (1900 to 1904), his education took place in Vellore. After this, he received education at Madras Christian College, Madras. He was brilliant since childhood.
In these 12 years of study, Radhakrishnan remembered the important parts of the Bible. For this, he was honored with special merit. At this age, he also studied Veer Savarkar and Swami Vivekananda. He passed the matriculation examination in 1902 and received a scholarship. After this, he passed the Arts Faculty Examination First Class in 1904. He also received remarkable remarks about psychology, history, and mathematics due to high scores. Apart from this, Christian College, Madras also gave him a scholarship. After M.A. in Philosophy, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Madras Residency College in 1916. Later he was also a professor in the same college. Dr. Radhakrishnan introduced the world to Indian philosophy through his articles and speeches. His writings were praised all over the world.
Companion life:
At that time the marriage of the Brahmin families of Madras would have ended at an early age and Radhakrishnan was no exception. In 1903, at the age of 16, his marriage ended with a 'Sivakamu' sister of a distant relation. At that time his wife was only 10 years old. So three years later, his wife started living with him. Though his wife Sivakamu did not receive the traditional education, he had good authority over his Telugu language. He could also write and read the English language. In 1908, Radhakrishnan's couple received the daughter as a descendant. In 1908 only he got the degree of Bachelor of Arts in first class and gained a special merit in philosophy.
After just 6 years of marriage, in 1909, he also passed a postgraduate examination in art. His subjects are philosophy. During high studies, she also continued to teach tuition to children for her personal income. In 1908 he also wrote a research paper to get the degree of M.

In addition, he also studied Hindi and Sanskrit language.
A deeper study of Hindu scriptures:
The impact of education where every person is definitely sure, the educational institution's quality also leaves its impact. At that time western values of values were established by the Christian institutions to a great depth within the students. This is the reason that studying Christian institutions and incorporating high quality in Radhakrishnan's life. But there was another change in them, which was due to Christian institutions. Some people saw Hindu philosophy and criticized them. His criticism was taken by Dr. Radhakrishnan as a challenge and started studying deeply in Hindu scriptures. Dr. Radhakrishnan wanted to know what literally cheers in the ideas of which culture and in which culture do they get involved? Then by intuitional intuition, firmly began to believe that the poor and illiterate people living in the remote places of India also knew the ancient truth. For this reason, Radhakrishnan has comparatively learned that Indian spirituality is very rich and criticism of Hindutva by the Christian missionaries is baseless. From this, he concluded that Indian culture is based on religion, knowledge, and truth, which gives the true message of life to the creature.
Indian tradition:
It was well known that Dr. Radhakrishnan realized that life is very small but the happiness in it is uncertain. For this reason the person should live in harmony with happiness and suffering. In fact, death is an unshakable reality, which makes everyone rich and poor in poverty and does not distinguish any kind of class. True wisdom is the same which can eliminate the ignorance within you. The life of simplicity is better than the noble life of the rich, in which resides of discontent. A quiet mind is better, than those thunders of applause; Which are heard in parliaments and courts
In fact, for this reason Dr. Radhakrishnan was able to understand the moral values of Indian culture, because he wanted to test the truth of the criticisms made by the missionaries themselves. That is why it has been said that criticisms work for perfection. All the mothers want to see high values in their children. That is why they teach children to believe in God, stay away from sin and help people trapped in trouble. Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan also learned that Indian culture has been taught to respect all religions and equality for all religions is also a distinct identity of Hindu culture. In this way they understood the specific identity of Indian culture and became very close to it.

The entire goal of human history is only to be able to liberate mankind if the basis of the policies of the countries is to establish peace in the whole world. Ho." Dr. Radhakrishnan used to teach the students with their wit-rich interpretations, pleasant expressions and light tickling stories. He also inspired his students to inspire high ethical values in their conduct. The subjects he taught, first used his intensive study. He used to make serious topics such as philosophy as simple, interesting and dear to his style.
Perseverance life:
In 1909, at the age of 21, Dr. Radhakrishnan started teaching philosophy as a junior lecturer in Madras Presidency College. It was their ultimate fortune that they had received livelihood favorable to their nature. Here he not only taught for 7 years but also studied Indian philosophy and Indian religion in depth. In those days it was necessary for the lecturer that he would also receive training for teaching. That is why in 1910, Radhakrishnan started teaching Madras in education. At this time, his salary was only Rs 37. The philosophy of Professor Radhakrishnan, the then Professor of philosophy, was overwhelmed by the scientific knowledge. He allowed them to be absent from the class of philosophy. But in lieu of this, the condition was that he would read in his or her class of philosophy classes. Then Radhakrishna gave thirteen such influential lectures to his classmates, from whom he was also amazed by the learner. The reason for this was that there was a deep hold on their subject, the approach was clear in relation to philosophy and when selecting lectures, they also selected appropriate words. In 1912 a short book entitled "Essential Elements of Psychology" was also published by Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a collection of his lectures given in the class.

Diplomatic work:
Sarpallalli Radhakrishnan did the same thing and paused his speech at 12 in the night. None other than Pandit Nehru and Radhakrishnan did not know about it.

Thus Vijayalakshmi Pandit was elected as the new successor. On this selection of Pandit Nehru, many people expressed the surprise that why was a philosopher selected for diplomatic services?
