Sanskrit

Sanskrit is the spoken language of this Gurukulam.

 

The texts such as Upanishads or Yoga sutras are studied in the Sanskrit language so that the student gets the first-hand experience of the wisdom of the philosophies.

Practices

Gurukula system of education focuses more on shaping character. The integral development of the student rather than only intellectual development is emphasized by the Acharyas.

 

The character is shaped when philosophy is practised, and the practice becomes the expression of philosophy.

​

As our Acharya always says ‘it is not about what you have learned, but it is about who you are after what you have learned.'

 

It is all about the practice of philosophy. It is the inner exploration that takes place during the stay for seven long years.
