Intoduction to Gurukul

With benign grace of Pujya Sadgurudev Sant Shri Asaramji Bapu, many institutions have been established all over India. Each institution is a unique feather in the cap of Gurukuls. All Gurukuls are established with the propitious ideal of channelizing the value system in society and provide a new direction to the applecart of social progress.

Bapu ji says the aim of human birth is to “know thy self as Brahma“. Though serving to varied type of students spread across the country, they all have central idea to provide education that liberates, the one that helps in attaining the supreme bliss.

To achieve this, all Gurukuls follow a systematic way of teaching as designed and developed by Gurukul central committee. The method ensures that all students develop a sharp intellect while inculcating mannerisms, ethics and self restraint.

Detailed attention is paid to every aspect of Gurukuls, starting from the construction of the building to the operation of the school. While maintaining the academic standards and due importances to extracurricular activities, the Gurukuls stand out from the crowd because of its emphasis on other aspects of life. The student is prepared for real life.

Gurukuls follow a regime of exercise that includes Pranayam, Yogasan and Meditation. This coupled with activities to promote team spirit and self reliance makes sure that students become an asset for the country.

A child can become what he wants to and his wants are developed from the environment he lives in. The Sattvik surroundings of Gurukuls imbibe in him noble qualities and ethos while propelling them to live life in a Vedantic style.

We as an institution stand by our commitment to provide the nation, its leaders who will reinstate the country as the VISHWA GURU BHARAT.

Infrastructure and Facilities in Gurukuls

All Gurukuls are built with utmost care. Gurukuls are not just buildings of education but a place of worship for students, a place to perform their Karma Yoga. We believe that a place a student spends almost 6 – 8 hours that too where his concentration has to be highest, must be comfortable and conducive to learning.  

Keeping this in mind, all buildings are tried to be kept in compliance with Vastu-shashtr. The surroundings are kept rich in Oxygen by planting Tulsi, Amla, Neem and Peepal around the premises. Inside the premises, well maintained class rooms are filled with positive aura by use of Gou chandan and phenyl.

Ample space is available for sports facility in Gurukuls with required equipments and coaches. This clubbed with Vedic techniques of Yoga provide students a very healthy environment for physical development as well.

Apart from this Gurukuls are equipped with following facilities where needed

Library : Library being an important part of any educational institution needs to be up to date with current state of affairs. To provide all students with sufficient reference materials and exposure to the happenings around the world, many books and periodicals are available in the library. This large set of books is further augmented with collection of spiritual books comprising of holy voice of Pujya Gurudev.

Medium is not restricted to books alone, in fact it also maintains a collection of Audio –video CDs to aid in learning. Apart from academics, multimedia is available for non academic topics as well like that of Ramayana, Gita, Panchtantra etc.

Librarian makes sure all students get fair share of all kinds of books and media however students are expected to keep the borrowed media in good condition.

Science Labs: Our students gain firsthand experience and gather information regarding laws of Physics, Chemistry and Biology in well equipped and furnished laboratories. In Gurukuls that extend up to board classes, separate labs are available for each of the science streams. All labs are equipped with instruments needed in sufficient numbers for students to carry practical independently. Also guides and lab assistants keep any eye over security issues that might cause damage of any sorts.

Computer labs: In this age of networking it is hardly an option to not provide computer education to students. To make students competent enough, an array of well maintained Computers is arranged in Gurukuls. Students receive formal teaching in the subject by experienced tutors. And learning never ends, to allow students to be proficient labs are open after school hours for students to stay back and practice under the supervision of lab instructor. Students can also choose from any educational software available in the lab to try their hands upon.

Gurukuls however keep a strict check on their usage of internet and have security mechanism in place to prevent students from falling into traps of people with inferior motives. Labs follow the policy of  safe usage of technology.

Music room: Music is not just an art but a science as well. Every minute particle, present in the universe when vibrates creates music. All Gurukuls thus have the provision for training in musical instruments and vocals. On demand of students teachers are appointed for classical and western music.

The Gurukuls have special love for the ragas of Indian Culture which are known to have positive effects on body health. So efforts are made to impart training in spiritual music which provides internal peace and pleasure. The ragas also helps students to rhyme their Physical and mental activities, eventually enhancing their personality.

The students showing interest in music are also given a chance to participate in various competitions of district and national levels.

Gymnasium: A mind controls the body and body is the one that feeds the mind. Both are dependent on each other for their development. Exercises are extremely important part of Gurukul Life style. To provide the same, Gurukuls have arrangement for Gymnasiums with appropriate instruments. Students are allowed an hour of exercise only under the supervision of a gym Master. But this is no way regarded as a substitute to Vedic style of physical development. Emphasize is still on Yogasana and Pranayam to build up a strong physique.

Swimming pool: Water games are indeed a healthy time pass for youths. It provides exercise for all muscles and keeps one active. Thus Gurukuls initiated a habit of swimming among students and provided the pool facility within campus. The use of facility is restricted to Gurukul students only and not available for public use.

Hygiene is a major issue with maintaining pools which is taken care of in a very well manner by using fresh chlorinated water every time the pool is used. Cleaning is done in timely manner to keep it safe from slippery surfaces and any rough surfaces.

Dispensary: The climate of India is nature’s gift to us, with all six seasons taking turn to beautify the motherland. However sometimes children fall ill due to these weather changes. Sporting is another way for students to have skinned knees and elbows.  Keeping this in view, Gurukuls have arrangements for dispensary within the premises.

In Gurukul, we make sure that every child is goes through the medical examination at least once a year by a team of competent doctors.  However there are few formalities to be fulfilled by parents at the time of admission if student is availing hostel facility. They need to submit the medical reports of the ward with the school authorities at the time of admission.

Transport: Gurukuls take special care of surroundings of the building. This sometimes translates to the fact that Gurukuls are often located outside the main city. To make up for this, transport facility is provided by Gurukuls that is managed by them locally.

Again security measures are checked not to be compromised at any cost. All vehicles are regularly checked and repaired. Also the staff is well trained in their duties as expected from a responsible school bus driver and conductor.

Hostel: - Some of the Gurukuls also provide hostel accommodation for boys/ Girls with separate buildings. Hostel buildings also maintain the same standards of hygiene as for school building. The mess if a part of the hostel facility. It provides resident scholars with nutritious food comprising of Indian cow’s milk and ghee. Extra facilities are provided to hostellers for games (indoor and outdoor) and other requirements like tuck shop.

Students are accommodated in spacious, well-furnished comfortable rooms in a quiet environment conducive to concentration and studies. Each hostel is under the care of a resident warden and offers an excellent environment for living, learning and growing to one’s fullest potential. The school hostel has a large number of airy rooms, equipped with modern facilities.
