Our revered Rishis have given to the mankind a very precious legacy in the form of The Vedas. The Vedas, till date, continue to be the principal source of our knowledge and wisdom. The study of the Vedas forms the most important aspect of the four stages of life (Chaturashrama). The stage in which the Vedas are studied under the guidance of acharyas (teachers) is known as Brahmacharyasharama, and the place where the Vedas are taught is called the Gurukula. It is important to note that the Vedas were taught in a particular method. The same method continues even today wherever there are gurukulas of the ancient order. It is not just the learning of the vedic hymns, the acharyas lay the foundation of life itself during this stage. This foundation is based on the principles and philosophy of life as conceived by the ancient seers. And Om Shantidhama Gurukula provides such ideal atmosphere for Gurukula as conceived by our seers.
