Gurukul System
The Gurukul System was an ancient Indian educational tradition where students, known as shishyas, lived with their teacher, or guru, in a residential setting. This system emphasized holistic learning, including spiritual, moral, and practical education. Students learned various subjects, such as Vedas, philosophy, and arts, through direct interaction and personal guidance from their guru.
In the Gurukul, education was not just about academics; it also focused on character building and life skills. The close-knit community fostered strong relationships between the guru and shishyas, promoting values like respect, discipline, and devotion. This system played a crucial role in preserving and transmitting knowledge in ancient India.
