A Gurukul is a traditional Indian educational system where students, known as shishyas, live and learn with their teacher, or guru, in a residential setting. This system emphasizes holistic education, including spiritual, moral, and practical knowledge, often in subjects like philosophy, arts, and sciences. In a Gurukul, students engage in daily chores and community living, fostering discipline and respect. The relationship between the guru and shishyas is central, promoting personalized learning and mentorship. This ancient system has roots in the Vedic period and continues to influence modern educational practices in various ways.
