......................... Gurukul System of Education

In earlier days, the responsibility of parents was only to give birth to the child. At the age of four, they left the child in the Gurukul with the Master. In the Gurukul, the children were taught the Gayatri Mantra, an initiation chant to kindle the intelligence at the age of 7. If by 14 they had a spiritual experience of some kind, they were taught the Brahma Sutra, the greatest book on world philosophies, or else they were taught the Kama Sutra, the science of sex, so that they learned the art of family life. If before the age of 21 they were enlightened, they were initiated into sannyas. If not, they were taught the Yoga Shastras. This is how a child was allowed to evolve in his own way under the guidance and love of the Master.

This unique and holistic education system can be seen in Nithyananda Gurukul where the kids are allowed and encouraged to flower to their full potential under the loving guidance of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
