The gurukul system is backed on the concept that the learning from the teacher is not limited to the classroom sessions, but is continuous from his behaviour throughout the day and night. The teacher is a role model. It is also expected that the student will think about what he is learning and debate the issue and that in the process, the teacher also may learn. Joint exploration is the process. The student is not expected to accept what the teacher conveys, but is expected to apply his mind and validate the lessons before accepting them. Gurukul system prepared the young ones in total personality Development at an ashram guided by Nature and Guru (rishi), where common codes are encouraged, equal and appropriate opportunities are given to all shishyas. Major human values including respect to elders are also emphasized.
GURU : Takes one from darkness to light.
