Abstract Rabindranath Tagore’s Santiniketan which was later converted to a university under the title ‘Viswabharathi University’ was an international educational centre during the first and middle parts of 20th century. Tagore is regarded a great personality who created a synthesis between antiquity and modernity. He had got such a fantastic foresight that he was able to execute fantastic psychological strategies in his educational institutions called ‘Santiniketan’and viswabharati University even before modern psychological theories and principles became an integral part of education. His educational institutions were real centres of Psycho Osmosis, a modern psychological concept that states that the teacher’s internal energy and characteristics can influence the academic and personal development of students. This internal energy is capable of offering great degree of invisible inspiration for the students to learn well, and to develop their personality into an accepted kind of personality in the society. Psycho Osmosis also conveys the view that the minds of the students become so relaxed with the dynamic nature of the teacher, and students become capable of finding out the answers of difficult questions through some intuition. In short, Psycho Osmosis tells that the cordial relationship between the teacher and students would create a comfortable and inspirational learning atmosphere at educational institutions. Lots of renowned personalities who had been educated at Tagore’s educational institutions did mention about this comfortable and inspirational atmosphere they experienced at these educational institutions. This paper tries to present how Tagore executed Psycho osmosis in his educational institutions.
