Answers
In olden days, there were no schools as we find today. Every temple or mosque was a school. The Priest or Maulvi was the only teacher. There were very few books or no books at all. The Guru taught by word of mouth.
The boys sat round him in a circle. They sat on the bare ground. There were no tables and chairs, the boys listened to the Guru with rapt attention. They learnt their lesson by rote. They had to memorize the scriptures. A student who could learn by heart the largest number of scriptures in the shortest possible time was considered to be the ablest. There were practically no games and sports. The students crammed and chanted the scriptures day and night.
There was no fuss in any shape or form. They resided with their Guru. Boarding and lodging were free. These temples and mosques got handsome grants from kings and princes. Sometimes the students had to go to the neighbouring villages and towns to beg for alms.
