GURU VASHISTHA VEDIC GURUKULAM

The Vedas, means“knowledge,” are the oldest texts of Hinduism. The expression "Vedic" is derived from the Sanskrit word veda, which means knowledge or revelation. According to the Vedic history, they were written down thousands of years ago. The date, however, is not very important because, without a doubt, the knowledge contained in these scriptures was existing a long time before it was written down. The four Vedas: The scriptures of this category are generally labeled as the original Vedic scriptures. These four Vedas are known as Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva. Rig means ritual, and it contains mainly hymns and prayers (Mantras) in the worship of the universal forces called the demigods. Yajur means ceremony, and it mainly describes how to perform the rituals. Sama means singing; the scriptures of these categories contain many other mantras as well as strict rules how to chant these mantras according to mystic vibrations. Atharva means a priest who knows the secret lore; these scriptures describe many different kinds of worship and invocations. In a broader sense, many other scriptures of material knowledge are also counted in the Atharva, like the Ayurveda (pharmacological sciences and the means to maintain health). India has always boasted of a rich tradition in the area of learning and education since ancient times. It is well known that people from other nations such as Europe, the Middle East, and Portugal came to India to get a quality education. One of the famous educational systems practised in India in the ancient times was The Gurukul System. In ancient India teaching was considered to be holyduty which a Brahman was bound to discharge irrespective of consideration of the fee teacher were expected to devote their lives to the cause of teaching in the missionary spirit of self-sacrifice, and the society laid down the principal that both the public and state should help the learned teachers & educational institutions very liberally. Society realized that “Vidyadana” or the gift in the cause of education was tobe the best of gifts, possessing a higher religious merit than even the gift of land. On the occasion of religious feats, students and teachers were invited and donations were given liberally.

“Ayodhya, Mathura, Maya (Mayapuri or Haridwar), Kashi (Varanasi), Kanchi (Kanchipuram), Avantika (Ujjain) and Dwaravati (Dwaraka); These seven cities are giver of Moksha (Liberation) and are called Mokshapuri. An ancient town, Ayodhya is regarded as one of the seven sacred cities of the Hindus, revered because of its association in the great Indian epic poem Ramayana with the birth of Rama and with the rule of his father, Dasharatha. According to this source, the town was prosperous and well fortified and had a large population. HISTORICAL RELEVANCE Ancient Hindu Sanskrit-language epics, such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata mention a legendary city called Ayodhya, which was the capital of the legendary Ikshvaku kings of Kosala, including ama. Neither these texts, nor the earlier Sanskrit texts such as the Vedas, mention a city called Saketa. Non-religious, non-legendary ancient Sanskrit texts, such as Panini's Ashtadhyayi and Patanjali's commentary on it, do mention Saketa. The later Buddhist text Mahavastu describes Saketa as the seat of the Ikshvaku king Sujata, whose descendants established the Shakya capital Kapil- -avastu. Religion had played a role for controlling power in Indian monarchy in the ancient past, and in contemporary India too it played a role in the formation of religious landscape and religious heritage, through commonly using processions, pilgrimage, religious assemblies, religious fairs (melā), and sacred places. Ayodhya - Faizabad represents an aesthetic and unique type of cultural landscape and heritage scape that include natural, cultural, tangible and intangible heritages, and variety of cultural landscapes. The city’s cultural landscapes, are illustrated with riverfront sacred scapes and faith scapes, sacred sites associated with Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Buddhist and ever Sufis (and other Muslims), and several other small congregations. Ayodhya, being one of the most sacred places is known as the legendary capital of Rama; and nowadays one of the most important places of pilgrimage in India with special reference to its sacred cultural landscapes. Ayodhya, situated on the right bank of Ghagh- -ara River (Sarayu). LOCATION The proposed site for Gurukul:A vedic paathshala is located on shree Ramjanmbhoomi kshetra, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The proposed site for Shree Ramjanmbhoomi kshetra, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, has main access from Faisabad-Ayodhya road. SHAPE AND SIZE:- The site is irregular in shape with an area of 67.924 acers i.e. 274880.551 SQ.MTS.

A Modernized Gurukul, Conceptualised To Design This Colourful Pre-School In Gujarat | Shreesh Design Studio

A space as colorful as the minds of its users. The main concept behind this design was to integrate the renowned Indian Education system of the Gurukul with a modern and integrated approach towards primary education. The structure was required to be fabricated as mobility of the structure was also of a major concern. Thus, the end result was a Modernized Gurukul, conceptualised to design this colourful pre-school in Gujarat.

VISIT : Shreesh Design Studio

The structure can be dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere as required. Each classroom acts as an individual entity in the form of blocks. The blocks have been placed in the Centre of the site in a circular fashion thereby making the central Amphitheatre the focal point.

Bright and contrasting colors have been used on each and every block in the site which adds a whimsical feeling.

Circulation in the site is placed in a concentric fashion. The passage created around the central- amphitheater acts as the main circulation pathway and can be used by the students as a cycling track as well. The subtle tone acts in such a manner so as to not depose the overall cohesiveness of the blocks and other features.

Various tactile elements have also been introduced in the form of sand pits, swimming pool and landscaping.

The uses of barricades are kept to a minimum in these spaces so that students can feel a sense of cohesiveness and openness during playtimes and they can have an unrestricted access to all areas.

A fountain has been placed at the entrance of the site that acts as a calming and serene element and adds to the tactile experience in the site. Each and every constituting element is placed so as to induce maximum functionality and style. The project was completed in 4 months.

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, morals, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include teaching, training, storytelling, discussion and directed research. In ancient India, both formal and informal ways of education system existed. Indigenous education was imparted at home, in temples, Pathshalas, Tolas, Chatuspadis and Gurukuls. There were people in homes, villages and temples who guided young children in imbibing pious ways of life. A Gurukula or Gurukulam is a type of education system in ancient India with Shishya (students or disciples) living near or with the guru, in the same house. At the end of ones education, a Shishya offers the Gurudakshina before leaving the Gurukula.Over a period of time two system of education developed, the Vedic and the Buddhist.

From the ancient period Indians have enjoyed the reputation of being a learned people. Some of the early Hindu and Buddhist centre of learning such as Taxila and Nalanda university were the very famous institution during that time. Education in the beginning was confined to the priestly class with teaching of traditional elements such as religion, logic etc. Then Islamic education introduced in India with the establishment of the Islamic empires and Mqtabas and Madrasas became the seats of learning. The advent of British in India opened a new era in the field of education and the vast changes and development of Indian education had mainly occurred during British era.They brought a new system of education to India which was different from earlier education system.During the British period, education was first ignored but later a series of measures continuing throughout the early half of the 20th century ultimately laid the foundation of education in modern India. They organized the Indian education system and introduced modern scientific learning in India. As a result India had been preceded to a new era under British. In this paper an attempt is made to analyse critically the development of education in India during British period.

• Gurukul School, Kerala

Gurukul School is set in the undulating hills north of Thruvanthapuram. It draws inspiration from the exquisite palace of Padmanabapuram with outward tilting balconies, connecting bridges and low overhanging roofs. As an experimental education school, the program and the layout of spaces were adventurous with mixed age groups with project-based learning.

Respecting the climate, all the buildings are connected with covered bridges and walkways that follow the natural contours of the landscape, to avoid the heat and monsoon. And yet each space also opens out to landscape directly on the ground level. The building materials are exposed local bricks walls, terracotta Mangalore tiles and steel framing. The embodied energy of the building was kept to a minimum. This school was awarded ‘Educational design’ prize in 2006 from DesignShare USA.
