Happy Teachers day on Sept. 5th, in memory of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan's birthday (Sept. 5, 1888).

Dr. Radhakrishnan was not just the first Vice President and second President of India, but also a great author and teacher in philosophy, including as Spalding professor of philosophy at University of Oxford and perhaps the greatest Indian philosopher in last 3 or 4 centuries.

His books on Indian philosophy in the English language were a great gift to mankind and first one to help spread the ancient Indian philosophical knowledge properly and systematically outside India, as also noted by a number of famous Europeans in the past.

John F. Kennedy also knew S. Radhakrishnan as a great philosopher and when the former visited India, he addressed and congratulated the latter as such (a great philosopher).
