In this post-modern era few have begun looking for alternate education, getting dissatisfied with sheer bread making Macaulayite Education. This is due to various reasons. Nowadays people start to understand that sheer bread making or materialistic benefits cannot be the ultimate goal of education. Education should be holistic which eventually enhances the learner in his/her material, vital, menta
l, emotional, intellectual and spiritual planes. Having realised this, few parents have come forward in opting for Gurukula method of schooling for their children. There are now schools which are exclusively dedicated for traditional arts. There are few other schools which are dedicated for cottage industry training and farming. Schools which have tailor made courses that teach sculpture, Yoga and so many new subjects are coming up. Gurukulas of Vedic studies too are gradually rising up again in our nation. Few modern schools too, try to adopt few Gurukula teaching methods. Days have gone in which there was a notion that only drop outs go for Vedic studies. Nowadays even bright students from well-settled families join Gurukulas to learn Vedas. This is either due to their interest in the holistic education of Vedic culture or due to their devotion to the Vedas. Also, it is our obligation to offer our service to Sanaatana Dharma, which has its foundation as universal welfare. Education is the most important tool to impart culture. It is vital to pass on our culture to our children through education. In ancient India only through education the great seers like Vasishta imparted culture. In modern times, mainly through education the western culture entered into India to capture her. Therefore, we would like to offer an education, which will shape the students of our Gurukulam in making them the cultural ambassadors representing human values with a vision of universal welfare.
