Gurukul - The bonding between teacher and students

The Gurukul education system was a form of residential education system where the students lived in a Gurukul which was the home of the teacher or ‘Acharya’ and served to be the center of education. The kernel of this education system lies in the principles of discipline and hard work. Students were expected to learn from their gurus and use their knowledge in practical life. The relationship that existed between the student and teacher is sacred and it often didn’t involve any formal payments but a Gurudakshina that the student offered the teacher as a homage to their relentless support. This education system began in ancient times during the Vedic age when there was no particular form of formal education but the learning was skill-based and religiously rooted in Vedas, Puranas and holy texts which were the imperative guide for students to expand their horizon of knowledge.

The Gurukul education system continues to inspire the world with its unique features which evolved over the years. This section enlists the unique features of this education system and gives an insight into its functioning.

A Story like a pearl of the innocent minded prince

When a special spirit child who dreamed of school was a dream comes true, I felt that God had given him hundreds of special talents if the child had a disabled spirit. He was very lacking and ruled every day without knowing the ability he had, so he was not mingling with anyone. It was not a problem. He had to do the child's day's actions so that he would not even send his hobbies and his ability to know his ability. One day I accidentally looked at him in the Hanuman temple and spoke to the child. Even his mother, who was afraid to talk to me, also told him to speak to him. When he inquired about him, he told him about him. When he went back home from the temple, he went out of his way to Ram Ram.
