Vedic education system
The Vedic education system, rooted in ancient Indian tradition, emphasizes holistic developmentâintellect, ethics, spiritual wisdom, and life skills. It centers around the teachings of the Vedas, aiming to cultivate self-awareness, moral values, and knowledge of the universe. Education was conducted in gurukuls (teacher-student residences) through memorization, debate, and experiential learning, often integrating meditation and reflection. This system prioritized character building and understanding one's duties (dharma), fostering a balanced mind and responsible societal members, and laid the foundation for many modern educational principles with an emphasis on inner growth and holistic development.
