Gurukula (Sanskrit: गुरुकुल, translit. gurukula) was a type of residential schooling system in ancient India with shishya (students) living near or with the guru, in the same house.[1]The guru-shishya tradition is a sacred one in Hinduism and appears in other religious groups in India, such as Jainism, Buddhismand Sikhism. The word gurukula is a combination of the sanskrit words guru(teacher or master) and kula (family or home).[2][3] Before the British rule, they served as South Asia's primary educational system.
In a gurukula, the students living together are considered as equals,[4] irrespective of their social standing.[3][4] They learn from the guru and help the guru in his everyday life, including carrying out of mundane daily household chores. However, some scholars suggest that the activities are not mundane and very essential part of the education to inculcate self-discipline among students.[5]Typically, a guru does not receive or accept any fees from the shishya studying with him as the relationship between a guru and the shishya is considered very sacred.[6]
At the end of one's education, a shishya offers the guru dakshina before leaving the gurukula.[3][4] The gurudakshina is a traditional gesture of acknowledgment, respect and thanks to the guru, which may be monetary, but may also be a special task the teacher wants the student to accomplish.[3][4] While living in a gurukula, the students would be away from their home from a period of months to years at a stretch and disconnected from their family completely.
