Aarsh Vidyakulam team works to #revive #gurukul education in India
Who are we?
Aarsh Vidyakulam works under the auspices of Gurukul Vidya Pracharini Sabha. Our main focus is to conduct online classes on Google Meet and reach out to the masses to revive the ancient Indian Gurukul education system.
We are a team of like-minded people who aren’t satisfied with the current state of education in India. We wish to make changes to it with everyone’s help so that India can be great again :)
Our Mission…
In the olden days, India that is Bharat used to be known as Vishwaguru, and its GDP was 1/3 of the whole world till the end of the 18th century. But after the takeover by the British, our gurukuls, as well as industry, were systematically destroyed. They destroyed industry through taxes and education through defunding and laws.
After independence, our political dispensation should have taken steps to revert to its roots. But our political leadership defunded and accelerated the decline of the very institutions they were supposed to be saving. They behaved more British than the British themselves. This behavior continued ever since cutting across the party lines.
But for how long can we avoid our responsibility. We need to stop finger-pointing and start working. Whether government helps us or not, we have to create an environment where gurukuls can flourish and attain their past glory.
At Aarsh Vidyakulam, we are not a bunch of traditionalists but researchers who have researched well into the various education systems of foreign countries and the past as well, and trust us we couldn’t find a better system than our very own Gurukul system. We have identified the best education system in the world which is better than the best system currently functioning in the world and that too not by a small margin.
We have identified what we needed to do, now the next step is to implement it. We want to reach out to anyone and everyone who also thinks along the same lines doesn’t matter what ideology they subscribe to.
Our Vision…
ॐ संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं सं वो मनांसि जानताम् ।
देवा भागं यथा पूर्वे सञ्जानाना उपासते।।
अर्थ – हम सब एक साथ चलें, आपस में संवाद करें, हमारे मन एक हों। जिस प्रकार पहले के विद्वान अपने नियत कार्य के लिए एक होते थे, उसी प्रकार हम भी साथ में मिलते रहें।
Meaning: May we move in harmony, speak in one voice; let our minds be in agreement; just as the ancient gods shared their portion of sacrifice.
समानो मन्त्र: समिति: समानी समानं मन: सहचित्तमेषाम् ।
समानं मन्त्रमभिमन्त्रये व: समानेन वो हविषा जुहोमि ।।
अर्थ – मिलकर कार्य करने वालों का मंत्र समान होता है , अर्थात वह परस्पर मंत्रणा करके एक निर्णय पर पहुंचते हैं। चित सहित उनका मन समान होता है। मैं तुम्हें मिलकर संभाल निष्कर्ष पर पहुंचने की प्रेरणा (या परामर्श) देता हूं तुम्हें समान भोज्य प्रदान करता हूं।
Meaning: May our purpose be the same; may we all be of one mind. In order for such unity to form I offer a common prayer.
समानी व आकूति: समाना हृदयानि व: ।
समानमस्तु वो मनो यथा व: सुसहासति ।।
अर्थ – तुम्हारी भावना या संकल्प समान हो , तुम्हारा हृदय समान हो , तुम्हारा मन समान हो , जिससे तुम लोग परस्पर सहकार कर सको।
Meaning: May our intentions and aspirations be alike, so that a common objective unifies us all.
We want to create ideally functioning gurukuls so that people can see the difference with their own eyes. But we can not do this alone, we need you. This work is quite resources intensive. We need land, funds, and people for this. If you want to start one yourself, we are at your disposal. Let’s create this together.
