” Takshashila ” is an important and prestigious name in the ancient Gurukul culture. It was a university where a profound study of all living and non-living elements was conducted, considering all aspects necessary for human life while remaining in harmony with nature, thereby showing the way to live a healthy life. Various sciences and theories were developed and proven here. Numerous branches such as arts, medicine, weaponry, and ethics were established, producing many skilled students who later created a glorious history of this culture.
This marks the beginning of reviving this ancient and eternal Gurukul culture in alignment with contemporary living standards. Just as students were sent to the Gurus’ ashrams for education at the age of five or seven in ancient times, and after ten to twelve years returned proficient in all necessary knowledge to enter household life, similarly, this revival of Gurukuls is being initiated.
All graduates will learn at an equal level without any social or economic discrimination, sitting directly before their Gurus. The lifestyle, attire, and uniforms in these ashrams will adhere to ancient eternal culture.
In these Gurukuls, Sanskrit will be the primary medium of instruction. Proficient teachers/acharyas will impart knowledge through Sanskrit for each subject. This entire learning methodology will be made compatible with the currently prevalent education system. The transformation from current kindergarten to degree/higher education into the Gurukul tradition is being initiated by Shri Dinesh Shurkar and his like-minded associates to create a prosperous, mature, and capable society once again.
