Gurukul system - Indian methodology of learning


Have you ever heard of the Gurukul system of learning? It’s an ancient Indian tradition that has been passed down for generations and is still practiced today. This unique way of learning has been a vital part of Indian culture for thousands of years and it’s a fascinating topic for kids and parents alike.

 

The Gurukul system is a residential style of learning where students live and study with their teacher or ‘Guru’. The word Gurukul means ‘teacher’s home’ and the students lived with their Guru as if they were part of their family. The students received education in all aspects of life, including subjects such as mathematics, science, history, and even philosophy.

 

This system of learning emphasized the importance of practical experience and hands-on learning. The students were taught how to think critically and develop problem-solving skills. They were also taught to be respectful and polite, to be honest and truthful, and to lead a disciplined life.

 

The Gurukul system was a holistic approach to education where the students learned not only academic subjects but also how to live a good life. The Gurus were strict but also kind and compassionate, they believed that education should be a joyous experience.

 

However, over the years, the Gurukul system has vanished and has been replaced by modern-day schools. This is due to the changing times and the need for a more structured and standardized educational system. With the advent of technology and the fast-paced world, traditional systems like the Gurukul system may seem outdated and irrelevant.

 

There is a growing need to revive the Gurukul system as it has a lot to offer in terms of character building and holistic education. This system instils values and life skills that are essential for success in today's world. It also helps to foster a deep connection between the teacher and student, which is often missing in modern-day schools.

 

Moreover, the Gurukul system encourages independent thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for success in any field. The hands-on and practical approach to learning makes it a unique and valuable educational experience.

 

In conclusion, the Gurukul system is an important part of India's cultural heritage that has a lot to offer in terms of education. While it may have vanished in recent times, there is a growing need to revive it as it provides a holistic and character-building educational experience. It’s time to bring back the traditional values and approaches to learning that have been passed down for generations.
