Gurukul Days

Gurukul is a sacred place, where intense devotion flowers at the lotus feet of the Master.

A gurukul is one of the rare systems of education, still surviving in isolated places on planet earth, on the basis of the lineage of the ancient times, when school was more than classroom and extracurricular activity.

Schooling in a Gurukul focusses on personality, character, integrity and honesty. It is a complete system of upbringing a human being.

Apart from reading, writing, arithmetic and the arts, a gurukul teaches:

Patience, acceptance, building a community, collective social responsibility, and a vision for holistic living. A gurukul is a place which grows along with the pupils, both physically and spiritually.

Activities like construction, gardening and landscaping, celebrating festivals, and doing liaison work between the various government bodies and institutions in society, are all covered here.
