Concept of Patanjali Gurukulam in the view of a Sage
On
Sadhvi Devvani, Vaidik Kanya Gurukulam
It is a divine resolve of most respected Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj that Yoga , spiritualism, Ayurveda , culture and Sanskar are to be promoted and through education teaching learning research the character of the whole Nation including the world has to be transformed. When we focus on it that after all how this goal will be attained then normally it comes to our mind that such a great goal can be achieved for which in every field a lot of efforts are to be put and whether it is research work or trade or agriculture or education or politics or it is industry and it is needed to put to efforts on all fronts but we are also required to contemplate minutely that how to achieve them and we find out that success can be ensured only when every individual of the country and the world will start putting efforts. Which means cooperation of every individual is needed and if only few people or some very limited number of people are to put efforts then changes will come but complete change will not come which is the ultimate goal of Swamiji but it won't be possible and for complete change every individual is required to be alert for achieving this goal and and it is not just a matter of intention but it is most needed that how to awaken the people for achieving this goal because it is clear that today is human society is not fully aware and the whole society is running for fulfillment of its own Desire of every individual and nobody is ready to understand what is good for the country and the world then what can be done because it is most important to achieve the goal then how to awaken the people will it be possible by organising big camps or addressing huge crowds or organising rallies, or knocking at every single door this could suggestions for this purpose but what is that we should ultimately do then we see that with all these efforts we cannot get that much of success which is our target and which is most expected and this is also a reality that we have got a very limited period of life and if the entire life is spent in awakening the people then when will we work to put our efforts to achieve our goals. Therefore we will have to look for a way out mobile doing all the things so that our main goal of life attainment of the goal and respected Swami Ji Maharaj has taken oath that he will achieve his goal for which he has been putting all sorts of efforts and of all his efforts the foremost one is education because it is well known fact that education is such a medium that can bring changes in terms of thoughts and actions of a person and keeping this fact in mind Lord Macaulay attacked our ancient system of education and we are paying heavily for that even now. Now it is time to think how to make education as a a medium to achieve this goal and for this we are not aware of the fact that our today's level of mindset , our today's area of action and our today's physical mental and intellectual condition all these are due to our education that we got in childhood and the company that we had in our life the things which we are taught the things that we learnt the kind of environment in which we grew up the kind of people around us made us the way we are today and we are working accordingly and now no changes can be introduced in us by making us understand new things then a question arises how to bring transformation and how to spread awareness and then we look at those who are not yet mature whose learning process is still going on and their way of thinking and way of practices can be changed and it is possible to bring changes in there thinking and practices because they are children they are young and this transformation can be possible by the means of education only and given this fact in mind respected Swami Ji Maharaj considered education as the only means for proper upbringing of children and youth and he made arrangements for Educational Institutes which includes for youth Patanjali University Vedic Gurukulam Vedic Kanya Gurukulam and for children he has setup Patanjali Gurukulam and Acharyakulam of which Vedic Gurukulam Vedic Kanya Gurukulam are most important. he has said on many occasions that Patanjali Yogpeeth is my body and Vedic Gurukulam and Patanjali Gurukulam are my soul and now Patanjali Gurukulam is what in the views of Swamiji he throws light on it with these words-
The main goal of Patanjali Gurukulam has been to prepare such students who who are well trained in the tradition of Vedic knowledge besides they must be aware of modern Science and Technology and knowledge and in Gurukul educational system they should be trained in such a manner that physically intellectually spiritually socially from all points of views they become capable and they could get success in the society Nation and the world and would write a new history of prosperity and development.
Practice of lesson practice of yoga and practice of best exercise- are the three things which are given equal importance and with practice of lesson Wholesome intellectual development of students is ensured while yoga and shows physical development emotional development and spiritual development and best divine exercises helps to develop great character and nature and divinity which is the goal of Gurukulam.
All all vice parents I want to see such divine development in their children but even after a lot of effort they are not able to provide their children a conducive environment and at Gurukul of child gets much more focus than what he gets at home because the main purpose of Gurukul has been to ensure Wholesome development of a child because all the activities inside Gurukulam take place keep in the well-being of children in mind but such type of focus and concentration cannot be given to a child at home because parents have themselves many things with regard to their responsibilities to do and even if one can build totally sacred environment at home even then it cannot match what children can get at school and while living with other children a child can learn many bad things this way so many types of obstacles can come on the way but Gurukulam makes efforts to provide them such a divine and sacred environment and their physical activities language thinking conduct behaviour everything is under scanner every moment and Gurukul tries its best to keep children away from bad habits and activities and in normal schools we can provide higher education to our children but cannot provide good Sanskar while at Gurukulam children get Sachin environment all the time and such kind of training and practices so that overall development in a divine manner takes place and personality and character of a student it improves in such a way that he starts developing as a great human being and he becomes capable skilled with the qualities of humanity divinity and like sages and for all that special efforts are not required to be put but such kind of routine Lifestyle practices activities and environment are provided that they become a part of their nature and character. For this kind of growth students do not need to get burdened with work stress with exercise but everything takes place naturally without any pressure on the students and they don't even feel the great transformation what way it came in them and they get molded in the environment of Gurukulam for which no force is required to be applied on the students. This is what kind of environment students normally get and we often see that the bad habits students learn from each other but in the company of good teacher and elders nothing wrong can be learnt by the students there for parents and teachers have at most duty that always speak parliamentary language with proper care and children must be taught sach things so that good quality is it could be developed in them. Children do not learn things just by saying but dealer from the behaviour of people and their languages around them but it is unfortunate that how so much effort might be put for the children but no parent is capable of putting that much of effort because Nida parents have that much of time 9 they do have any idea or example of how to do this and it is the goal of respected Swami Ji Maharaj and for its fulfillment it is required to become a good human being and this can be done by buy molding children properly sims childhood age and it is effect that on baked clay can be given any shape as per Desire but baked clay cannot acquire any different shape of course it can be broken as we see that small children at homes or from roadway are kidnapped and they are trained as terrorists and what they are taught to become terrorist they come like that and in the system of Gurukul Shubh Sanskar sacred environment and overall development is ensured in a divine manner so that they could become great human beings.
Behind the concept of Gurukulam Swami Ji Maharaj is of the view that India's leadership in ancient time was developed at the Gurukul where students learnt Vedas Upanishad Shastra Vidya that is using arms and philosophy economics and this way ancient students become capable of distinguish between what is right and what is wrong and then the people who were honest self-restraint person with good conduct and behaviour were considered to be as an individual very important and had highest position in the family society and the country but unfortunately today the country is leadership comes into the hand of those who have studied at schools Oxford Cambridge Harvard University message UPS like institutes and it might be possible that this institutes in part best education but they fail to give good Sanskar and this is the reason why children after growing up are not interested in pursuing humanitarian values and discharging their duties what's the society E and they live motivated by greed and selfishness due to which our society is fast losing moral values and the world is faced with many serious problems.
Therefore through Patanjali Gurukulam respected Swami Ji Maharaj is preparing leaders of society culture spiritual Economy business politics Science and Technology and intellect so that the children could lead the country in future and also could lead the world because these children are authentic self restrained and persons of good character bescides there are many other purposes of which expansion is not possible and taking in a big goal forward venture has been started and the purpose is not just to take up the challenges of coming 50 and 100 years but Gurukulam has set a target to prepare leadership of the country for coming 500 to 1000 years.
