Abstract

The term emotional intelligence means the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one’s emotions as well as the capacity to empathize with others. It helps individuals to regulate emotions according to different circumstances such as managing stress, building resilience, etc. In contrast, the term Spiritual intelligence can be understood as the ability to access deeper meaning, values, and purposes in one’s life. It involves awareness, transcendence, compassion, and the pursuit of connectedness with oneself. It also deepens understanding and compassion, strengthening relations and connections among communities of diverse fields. The study explores comparative levels of emotional and spiritual intelligence among the students of traditional Sanskrit and modern schools. The research employs a quantitative survey in order to assess emotional and spiritual intelligence levels in students in both traditional Sanskrit and modern schools. It also scrutinizes the influence of curriculum, teaching methods, as well as the cultural environment on the development of this intelligence. The findings of the research highlight the significant contrasts in emotional regulation, as well as the empathy and spiritual awareness between the two school types.
