Hinduism is the main religion of India that believes in reincarnation and worships many gods. It conceptualizes the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction as the deities Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Hinduism views education as a means to gain right knowledge, control desires, and perform duties with detachment and devotion to God. It traditionally emphasized learning from a guru in an austere residential school system called gurukula that reinforced scriptural memorization, discipline, and service over certificates or credentials.

rites and rituals and scholarly study of
scriptures

atman and brahman, gained through
personal experience or self realization

person is considered to be
equal to an animal (pasu),
because without education he
will not be able to rise above
his physical self.

14. THE GURUKULA SYSTEM
A gurukula was a place where a teacher
or a guru lived with his family and
establishment and trained the students in
various subjects.
A student had to serve his guru for years
and convince him about his discipline,
sincerity, desire, determination and level
of intelligence, before he was given a
chance to learn the advanced subjects.

15. Provided an effective environment to
children to educate themselves under the
close supervision of their teachers, in an
atmosphere of extended family
relationships and sense of belongingness,
serving them as a home away from their
homes
The aim of each student in the gurukula
was not pass time and get a certificate of
learning from his teacher, but remember
everything by heart and gain mastery of
every subject they learned.

16. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
GURUKULA SYSTEM
It was a highly centralized system
It was a caste based system
Girls were not admitted into gurukulas.
It was based on rigid adherence to the scriptures,
tradition and unconditional submission to the
teacher.

17. CONCLUSION

of personal experience in arriving at
truth. It regards the external world as
a great illusion and any activity
concerning it as a part of that illusion
only.
