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.

  • The education given was profusely influenced by the culture and religion which were incremental elements of the ancient Indian society.

  • The emphasis was on holistic learning with an incremental focus on professional, social, religious and spiritual education.

  • The basis of being selected by a gurukul was an impeccable attitude and moral strength that could be displayed through impeachable conduct. 

  • Alongside knowledge of the art, literature, scriptures and philosaphy, students were also taught practical skills and trained for different tasks.

The gurukul education system resulted in the all-around development of the individual and emphasized a psychological method of teaching.
