The Gurukul: A traditional concept….

Before Nepal had western-style schools providing formal education, we had other centres of learning. One was the Gurukul, an ashram where a kul guru - a principal guru or sage - would teach in his own way. Classes did not take place in classrooms, nor did they take place through formal teaching. Students lived and worked at the ashram - cooking meals, serving the guru, and collecting alms. The learning went beyond the boundaries of subjects to educate entire human beings. Details.....
