The concept of \u201cGurukulam\u201d is a unique feature of the ancient Indian system of education, where the all round development of the student is taken care by the Guru, through his incessant training, nurturing, observation, guidance and inspiration.<\/p>\n

Developing the physical, mental, emotional, aesthetic, intellectual and spiritual aspects of the human personality is the goal of Gurukulam system. Living with the Masters, the students learn the principles of right living by getting imbibed with strong personal, familial, social and spiritual value systems. The Vedas, Upanishads and innumerable ancient literature are the fountainhead of knowledge. Samskrit, unquestionably one of the oldest languages and grammatically and phonetically a perfect language, remains the epitome of Indian culture and heritage.<\/p>\n

The vast Samskrit literature encompassing in itself a variety of stories, mythologies and legends have always played a pivotal role in instilling strong morals and ethical values in the young minds. Hence the revival of this ancient wisdom has become an inevitable need of the hour.<\/p>\n
