A Gurukul is a traditional Indian educational system where students, known as shishyas, live and learn with their teacher, or guru, in a communal setting. This system emphasizes holistic education, including spiritual, moral, and practical knowledge, often in subjects like Vedic scriptures, arts, and sciences. In a Gurukul, students engage in daily chores and activities, fostering discipline and respect for their environment. The close-knit community encourages strong bonds between the guru and shishyas, promoting personalized learning and mentorship. This ancient system has influenced modern education in various ways, emphasizing the importance of character development alongside academic learning.
