creative moments and creative thinking
00:04:18
opportunities religious scriptures like

up upanishad and the vdas hold the

gurukul in very high regard religious
00:04:31
teachings depict gurukul as a place
00:04:36
that forged a sacred bond between the
00:04:40
acharia or Guru means teacher and the
00:04:44
disciple or shisha or a
00:04:52
student topic
00:04:54
s Evolution and transformation of
00:04:58
gurukul system
00:05:02
the gurukul system of Education in India
00:05:05
evolved over the time due to social
00:05:08
needs and changes in educational methods
00:05:13
and eventually declined with the
00:05:17
introduction of modern schools in
00:05:21
1830 however the gurukul system
00:05:24
originated in the Indian
00:05:27
subcontinent around 5 5,000
00:05:31
BC and was
00:05:34
especially prevalent during the Vic
00:05:40
age it was a residential schooling
00:05:44
system that emphasized holistic
00:05:46
education with students living with
00:05:49
their Guru and learning practical
00:05:52
skills Sciences mathematics philosophy
00:05:57
and metaphysics
00:05:59
the system
00:06:01
also integrated academic instructions
00:06:05
with real world skill development and
00:06:08
students were taught about value-based
00:06:12
system mindfulness and spiritual
00:06:15
awareness however the gurukul system was
00:06:19
eventually replaced by the modern school
00:06:22
system which
00:06:25
prioritized Science and Mathematics and
00:06:28
emphasized Less on philosophy ethics
00:06:32
moral values and the metaphysics the
00:06:35
medium of communication was also changed
00:06:38
to English and other local
00:06:41
languages initially it was the Sanskrit
00:06:49
language topic
00:06:51
eight modern education versus gurukul
00:06:55
system now let us have a comparative
00:06:58
study between modern education system
00:07:00
and the gurukul system the modern
00:07:04
education system and the ancient gurukul
00:07:07
system have different approaches to
00:07:11
education each with their own advantages
00:07:15
and
00:07:18
disadvantages the first aspect of
00:07:20
comparison is
00:07:22
curriculum the gurukul system focused on
00:07:26
the practical skills ethics and values
00:07:29
while modern education system cover a
00:07:31
wider range of subjects including
00:07:34
science languages and social
00:07:38
studies then teaching
00:07:42
methods the gurugal system valued the
00:07:46
teacher student relationship and
00:07:49
provided individualized instruction
00:07:53
based on students
00:07:55
needs modern education can use
00:07:58
technology to engage students and help
00:08:02
them learn at their own
00:08:05
pace holistic development this is also
00:08:08
very important point the gurukul system
00:08:11
focused on the
00:08:13
whole student nurturing their physical
00:08:18
mental emotional and spiritual
00:08:20
well-being modern education can
00:08:23
incorporate aspects like
00:08:26
mindfulness physical activity and
00:08:28
character
00:08:30
development alongside
00:08:33
academics practical knowledge the
00:08:35
gurukul system emphasized applied
00:08:40
knowledge fostering a practical
00:08:44
understanding of various
00:08:47
subjects modern education
00:08:51
often
00:08:53
fixated on road learning can benefit
00:08:57
from
00:08:59
integrating practical knowledge and
00:09:02
hands-on
00:09:04
experience values the gurugal system
00:09:08
emphasized moral values while the
00:09:11
current education system can be
00:09:15
impersonal and lacks emphasize on moral
00:09:19
values an Effective Education System
00:09:22
should incorporate the best of both
00:09:26
systems for the balanced approach so if
00:09:30
we want to develop a very good education
00:09:34
system what is the best idea to
00:09:37
encorporate the good
00:09:40
thing from each of the education systems
00:09:45
it means that the modern education
00:09:47
system is also important and as well as
00:09:51
the ancient education system is also
00:09:53
important we can adopt the good things
00:09:57
from both of them and we can develop a
00:10:00
new education system which can be
00:10:03
helpful to develop the personality of
00:10:07
the
00:10:13
students topic
00:10:15
nine case studies of contemporary
00:10:19
gurukuls contemporary the meaning of
00:10:21
contemporary is the real time at
00:10:25
present there are so
00:10:28
many gurukuls running at this modern era
00:10:35
also there are three types of gurukuls
00:10:38
in India right now type one gurukuls
00:10:43
where students live with the acharia and
00:10:47
learn
00:10:48
mathematics
00:10:51
arthashastra astronomy
00:10:54
science dhanas means
00:10:57
philosophy vdas
00:11:00
vangas aayurveda means a branch of
00:11:04
medicine yog
00:11:06
Etc students undertake projects that are
00:11:11
beneficial for the society and give them
00:11:14
practical experience this is one type of
00:11:19
gurukul which is currently running in
00:11:26
India the second type of gurukul is type
00:11:32
two gurukuls mainly focus on the study
00:11:37
of Sanskrit language with the help
00:11:41
of ashadhi of Panini and some study of
00:11:46
vdas but doesn't focus on the holistic
00:11:51
approach taken by type one guls this is
00:11:55
a second type third type
00:11:59
this is a route taken by more and more
00:12:04
gurukuls these
00:12:06
days they adopt a hybrid
00:12:09
approach hybrid means mixed approach
00:12:12
they follow the cbsc
00:12:15
pattern of modern education
00:12:18
system and
00:12:22
are accredited by particular
00:12:26
board but they also include some
00:12:29
elements of gurukul system like
00:12:32
residential schooling Sanskrit language
00:12:34
studies and moral education they are
00:12:38
nothing more than residential schools
00:12:40
with some sprinkling of Vic
00:12:44
principles so these are the three three
00:12:48
types which are
00:12:50
currently running as a gurukul in
00:12:56
India now let us look at some case
00:12:59
studies of few gurukuls in
00:13:04
India SRI swaminarayan
00:13:08

00:13:21
them situated in Gujarat but also in
00:13:26
most major cities of India in addition
00:13:30
they run gurukuls in USA and Europe
00:13:37
also the gurukuls Run by SRI
00:13:40
swaminarayan samprada follow the cbsc
00:13:45
pattern in addition to some sprinkling
00:13:49
of
00:13:50
Vic principles the gurukul
00:13:55
charges will be equivalent to the other
00:13:59
schools in particular

10 Reflections on the gurukul
00:15:21
system the gural system of Education in
00:15:24
Ancient India may be relevant in the
00:15:28
21th Century because it emphasizes
00:15:31
holistic
00:15:33
education values and character
00:15:37
development holistic education the
00:15:40
gurukul system
00:15:42
encourages students to develop their
00:15:44
unique strengths and understand the
00:15:48
concept of Balanced Life this can help
00:15:52

00:16:03
values gurukul education instills strong
00:16:07
moral values like honesty compassion
00:16:10
respect for
00:16:12

00:16:20
teaching and daily in interactions with
00:16:24
their Guru
00:16:31
character development the gurugal system
00:16:34
can help students develop their
00:16:36
character and
00:16:37
ethical
00:16:39
compass and move away from the intense
00:16:44
academic competition that
00:16:48
is prevalent
00:16:51
today cultural
00:16:54
significance the gurugal system implies
00:16:57
cultural significance ific an which has
00:17:00
become more important in current ERA it
00:17:04
can ensure that education is
00:17:08
moral and that people use their
00:17:12
knowledge to work for the betterment of
00:17:14
the
00:17:16
society the gurukul system should go
00:17:19
handin hand with the modern education
00:17:22
system so that they can complement each
00:17:26
other this could help societ
00:17:29

00:17:31
more Equitable means there will be no
00:17:40
problems in short if we understand the
