SPH's Contributions 02 Gurukul Education

Indigenous Hindu Education System:

The gurukul, or traditional Hindu residential school, was the very backbone of Hindu civilization. Open to all members of Hindu society, it offered a nurturing, nature-based environment where the guru could guide and train his students in both worldly arts (e.g., mathematics, literature, and martial arts) and spiritual arts (e.g., yoga, meditation, and power manifestation). The gurukul system was the key mechanism for knowledge transmission and preservation in Hindu civilization. SPH has established the world's only gurukul that is completely aligned to the original teachings of the Vedas and Agamas.
