Gurukula

Gurukula refers to a traditional system of education in ancient India where students, known as "shishyas," lived and learned with their teacher, or "guru," in a communal setting. This relationship focused on personalized mentorship and holistic development, emphasizing not only academic knowledge but also moral and spiritual growth. The setting often included activities such as discussion, practice, and rituals, integrating various subjects like philosophy, arts, and sciences. The Gurukula system fostered a close-knit community, allowing students to learn in a supportive environment that encouraged deep learning and personal connection with their mentor.
