8. Sustainable & enjoyable education (with life skill)

(Nurturance, education with skills and joy of life) Modern educationists have also realized that education should be with fundamental skills of life like fraternity, co-existence, non-violence, freedom, joy with collective wisdom Containing etc. In ancient times, while living in the presence of the Guru in the Gurukul, a child used to live with many Brahmacharis. All of them used to take care of each other's happiness and sorrow, service, beauty etc. The lessons taught by the Guru were repeated by all together, due to which the qualities of collective intelligence, brotherhood, co-existence etc. were easily developed.

Tam Shishyagurusabrahmacharivishishta shreyorthibhiranasuyubhirabhyupeyat II [52]

In Gurukuliya education, students at one time eat food by asking for alms. This develops the feeling of brotherhood and co-existence. How beautifully the Acharya teaches his disciple in the Gurukul while preaching non-violence-

Om Madhumanme Nikramana Madhumanme Parayana. I Wacha Vadami Madhumada Bhuyasam Madhusamdrishah [53]

May both my attitude and retirement in the world be full of sweetness. May I speak sweetly and in this way, knowing the secret of this sweetness, may I become like the sweet God. What can be a higher ideal of education than this?

8. Solution based education. (Solution Education)

In the new education policy, it is believed that education should bring solutions to the problems of life, because from the experience till date, it is being seen that today's educated youth take only one certificate and go here and there in search of a job. Roaming around with problems and sometimes even after being respected in a high position, he is seen committing suicide, all this is the result of cultureless education. This cannot be the true form of education. With an example of Gurukuliya education, you will know how complete that education was in itself. In the Chhandogyopanishad, Guruji orders his disciple Aruni to make a dam to stop the water in the field, when the flow of water cannot be stopped. So Aruni stops the water flow by laying his body in front of the water flow without telling Guru ji any compulsion. Similarly, in Ramayana, Shriram, Lakshmana, Bharata, Hanuman, Mata Sita, Anjana, Maharishi Dayanandadi great men are seen to find solutions to every problem because their education and initiation took place in Gurukulas, in the modern age the most revered Gurudev revered Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj And Revered Acharya Balkrishna Ji Maharaj has taught not only India but the whole world the art of living in a new way by extracting solutions to physical, mental and economic problems from Yoga, Ayurveda and Swadeshi. The Gurukuliya education system is a strong proof in front of us.

9. Self-reliant education

Today, big countries like China, Australia, Japan etc. are self-sufficient in most of the subjects because of taking support of this type of education policy, but it seems that they have adopted this quality somewhere from the Indian education system. In ancient Gurukuls, the education given from morning till evening used to make self-reliant.

Pratidinam Ratrauh Pashchime Yame Chotyayavashyakam Kritva

Dantdhavanastranasandhyopasaneshwa-

Rastutiprarthanonpasanayogabhyasa Nintyamachar. [54]

Shushilo Mitbhashi Sabhyo Bhawa II [55]

Mekhaladanaddharanabhaikshayacharyasamida-

dhanodakasparshanacharyapriyacha Ranapratah Sayamabhivadanamvidyam-Sanchayajitendriyatvadeenyete Te Nityadharmah II [56]

All the students wake up in the Brahmamuhurta and after their daily routine, according to their interest and ability, skill in various types of education after attaining Samavartan Sanskar, by becoming self-sufficient in life, by becoming physical, mental, intellectual, spiritual, cultural and material prosperity, they used to inculcate the spirit of all-inclusive and universal brotherhood in public life.

Epilogue

Compared to the ancient era, there has been a lot of increase technically in the promotion and dissemination of education in modern times. Accordingly, there has been a considerable jump in the number of teachers, students and education centers. But along with this timely growth, in today's economy, the meaning of education has also changed a lot. This western process of intellectual enrichment happening in the absence of inner understanding is turning human into a thoughtless, insensitive and directionless mechanical creature. Due to the blind mentality of self-centered development, all the ideals of humanity are getting destroyed. Before taking policy decisions, we need to seriously review the ancient Indian education system and the human values replaced by them. For this, there is an urgent need to appoint such teachers in modern education centers, who, using their intelligence, can sprout the sublime qualities of intelligence, emotionality, good character and effort, as well as the sacred understanding of spirituality, and pave the way for their all-round development. Can pave Along with subject efficiency, the basic foundation of Indian education has also been man-making (Manurbhav). He is considered a scholar who is a motherly person who is a motherly person. Hitopadesh, the responsibility of re-establishing these Indian concepts of Mitralabh education is on our shoulders only. Therefore, in order to organize education and teaching methods on a national-friendly and cultural basis, a determined effort will have to be made to reorganize the curriculum with the help of penetrating scholars of the Indian knowledge tradition, and only then the concept of self-reliance can be achieved. This nation will be able to fulfill the resolution of this Ved mantra•

Udyan te purush naavanam jivatunte krunomi krinomi. [58]

Oh man, see that there should always be progress in your life, there should be no downfall.

No, don't fall, I blow life force into you. it's human it is God's order. That is, in reality, knowledge is that which gives us may you be free from all bondages. So today again the same Gurukuliya there is an urgent need to adopt the education system.

Need to launch a campaign to get rid of foreign New  Year and foreign slavery

1.    The nation is celebration the Amrit Mahotsav of our Independence. But can anybody say that we have really become free? In the fields like education, medical treatment, food habits, life style, language, agriculture, industries, service sector, media, besides our armed forces which use the weapons to protect the frontiers of the nation and even our ideas are influenced by foreign culture and traditions. Are we not dependent on foreigners in these matters? Today it is high time for all of us to think that we will move forward with Yog , Ayurved and Swadeshi which means the concept of indigenous so that the country could become self dependent completely in all respect. For this we should be ready to sacrifice our body, soul and wealth. This way we can make our nation a world superpower and can also set a new trend.

2.    After Yog, Ayurved and Swadeshi revolution now Patanjali has started to move forward in the field of education and health care and soon a revolution is going to take place with the efforts of Patanjali. Patanjali has been laying down a very strong foundation of India for the next 100-200-500 years. Bhartiya Shiksha Board, Patanjali Gurukulam and Acharyakulam and Patanjali University besides Patanjali Global University are the institutes by the means of which great quality citizens are being built and great quality leadership is also being built and this way a yoga oriented world and the nation will be built and this resolve will be true one day. And the era of Vedas will arrive.

     Through Patanjali wellness Yoga, Yagya and Ayurveda and Naturopathy are being used as integrated methods for the wellness of the world and wipe out Allopathy which has turned out to be devastating for today’s world. Then everyone in the world will enjoy a complete and sacred health and it is a fact that it is a very difficult task but with our great endeavour it will be complete one day.

 3.    For accomplishment of this great job we will have to take minor vows and actually it is to be brought in practice to sign in our mother tongue except some very technical matters, and we will have to get education for our wards in the schools affiliated with Bhartiya Shiksha Board and if it could be possible then we will also have to take a pledge that we will send our children to Patanjali Gurukulam for education. If it is possible you will be required to have a cow at home and take care of her and also start and promote and propagate organic farming and also develop habits of eating natural food. Also to use milk and milk products of cows.

    Extending full support to the campaigns of Patanjali and also to launch campaigns like Patanjali in every field and setting new trends like Patanjali. Opposing all the anti India forces with full strength, personally and socially and in every possible manner. Never to rest before your work is complete and all of us will have to engage ourselves with full energy for accomplishment of our goal only then we will succeed. 

     In every field of life there is no doubt that discipline plays a very important role and in the ancient literature which have been encouraging and inspiring people from many centuries the words like discipline shows that it is not wrong to say so. The proponent of yoga shastra was Maharishi Patanjali and his first sentence was - Atha Yganushasanam- Which means anushasan hi Yog Hai Vishesh yoga is discipline or the first ladder of yoga is discipline and without including discipline in his life nobody can include yoga in his life because by the means of discipline one can achieve the greatest and highest position in the field of yoga and in a Sangat Yog Marg Yama and Niyam and Aasan and Pranayam are directly related with discipline which means the self restraint on ourselves only then we can achieve the highest stage of yoga because yoga cannot be practiced without self-restraint and if we do not retain our attendance is and if we are not able to to control our soul and if we are not able to concentrate completely then we cannot achieve anything there for all these I will come by the means of discipline and Maharshi Patanjali has written Vyakaran Mahabhashya which is a very popular book of the world. It is a commentary on ashtadhyayi of Maharshi Panini and this book begins with the word Atha Shabd anushasanam and here anushasan means grammar is just nothing but only the registration of words and Bharthari Hari in Vyakaran Shastra has said that words are like sages and in the universe the greatest position is of Braham have the same way in this practical life words play a very important role because Bharatrihari has written-

Idamandhatamah Kriya nam Jayet Bhuvantraya 
Yadi Shabdahvayam Jyotirasansaram Na Deepyate ll

     The whole world is clouded by darkness if the light of words are not available to spread visibility in the word and all our behaviour and all our knowledge tradition and culture and Civilization everything dependent upon words. Therefore it is very important to have a restrain over our words and speech because the it is very important to have discipline speech and the glory of w and language is well known to all.

Behaviour and speech are good our Enemies will also become our friends is the battle of Mahabharata which was caused due to the words said by Draupadi to Duryodhana which lead to such a huge loss of life in Mahabharata war and Mahakavi bhavbhuti in Hindi great drama Uttar Ramcharit has beautifully written-

Laukikanam Hi Sadhunamartham Vaganuvartate l
Rishinam Punarnam Vachamarthomanudhavati ll
- Uttar Ramcharit 1/10

Another sloka importance of the discipline of word speech and voice has been beautifully expressed-

Avirbhutjyotisham Brahmananam Yevyavaharasteshu Ma Sanshyobhuta l
Bhadra Hyosham Vachilakshmirnishkta, Naite Vacham Viluptartha Vadanti ll
(Uttar Ramcharit 4/18)

Those who have light in their soul speed is called as on which nobody will have any doubt speech is always the home to mother Lakshmi e goddess who is always auspicious for the whole universe and such a great scholar never tell a lie. 
This is the power of discipline speech because those who always follow the path of truth true whatever they say even their future prediction.
Taitirya Upanishad is based on the subject of education and teacher gives teaching and lessons of discipline to his disciples who are graduate students after the education is complete and they are at the convocation function and such speeches are are of great significance and today the same words are is spoken in every convocation function at so many universities which begins with and ends with the word Anushasan.

Vedamnujyacharyoantevasinmanushasti l Satyam Vada l Priyam Vada l Dharmam Chara Aetadnushasanam l Aevamupasitavayam l
(Taitiryopnishad 1-11)

   The beginning of education and complete discipline are very important without discipline knowledge and education cannot be fruitful and the students who always follow the instructions of their teachers only they are able to get the fruit of education and in our philosophy and Upanishad and many such scriptures education begins with manglacharan after which discussion starts and the extract of every education is dedication and devotion and restraint of character and always being restrained only such disciples can get fruitful education. 
Maryada purushotam Shri Ram and Yogeshwar Shri Krishna and Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati and Swami Vivekananda are the best and true example of this series.
It was a time when Guru was considered as the incarnation of Brahma God and the faith of a student is unflinching and a disciple had always a disciplined way of living and this way students get various kind of education like physical and mental and intellectual and spiritual. 
This is the the greatest specialty of Gurukul system of education of India and it has been said that after following the instructions as student becomes educated and following instructions means being disciplined and abiding by the teacher and another meaning is to serve which has two property is one is being knowledgeable and when students are taught by one teacher in one classroom most of them achieve I administrative posts somebody become a doctor some others engineers and some others great lawyers and scientists and processes and they become respected and reputed in their life and some others become very simple and they hardly achieve anything of substance and those who live in discipline and those who are restrained and those who have dedication and those who are humble and take lesson from the teacher they give outstanding results in life. 
Whatsoever be the institute of education or of Medical Science and industry E and politics the success and discipline and hard work and Endeavour add dedication to duty and following the path of truth is the key to success and in the field of Management discipline is of Paramount importance because many big industrial institutes in the absence of discipline are shut down or display a very miserable condition and very close to us in Rishikesan the institute called IDPL has lost its significance and hardly anybody remember it and also in Nagpur there was a cotton mill but due to the strike of workers it is stop the function and thousands of families lost the source of livelihood.
In the armed forces the first lesson that is given is the lesson of discipline and when thousands of soldiers March In Parade together it is the moment of power and inspiration and Pride which is enough to destroy the bad intentions of the enemies. 
The organisation of Veda presents the message of discipline and sukt Sahagman. 

Sangachchhadhavyam Sanvadhyam Sam Vo Manansi Janatam -1

     The power of organisation and discipline keeps our country safe and protected and at present time anushasan and discipline are not been given greater importance which is the reason why misconduct in the procedures of the functioning of the Parliament and assemblies and Universities and colleges at this is the reason why they are in miserable condition which is a matter of serious concern. 

The country in which a teacher is considered to be like God and most respected and the university is where the students have the great sense of pride for the nation and patriotism they produced grade citizens and if we see the condition of the same country miserable then it is very painful.

This is the truth of this generation that yoga and character and Patriotism and service to the mankind and hard work and discipline and Endeavour these are the parts on which India can again achieve its glorious ancient Pride.

परम श्रद्धेय श्री स्वामी जी का दिव्य संकल्प है- योग, अध्यात्म, आयुर्वेद, संस्कृति तथा संस्कार के प्रचार-प्रसार, शिक्षा-दीक्षा, शिक्षण-प्रशिक्षण व शोध-अनुसंधान के द्वारा जीवन, राष्ट्र एवं पूरे विश्व का समग्र दिव्य रूपान्तरण। जब हम इस बात पर केन्द्रित होते हैं कि आखिर इस लक्ष्य की पूर्ति कैसे होगी? तो सामान्य रूप से यह विचार मस्तिष्क में आता है कि इतने महान् लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने के लिये प्रत्येक क्षेत्र में प्रयास अपेक्षित है, फिर वो चाहे अनुसंधान हो या व्यापार हो या कृषि हो या शिक्षा हो या राजनीति हो या उद्योग हो। हर तरफ से प्रयास करने की आवश्यकता है। परन्तु इसी बात पर जब हम सूक्ष्मता से विचार करते हैं, थोड़ा चिन्तन करते हैं, तो हम पाते है कि इस लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति देश के और समग्रता से देखें तो सम्पूर्ण विश्व के एक-एक व्यक्ति पर निर्भर करती है। इस लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति के लिए हर एक व्यक्ति का सहयोग आवश्यक है। केवल किसी एक या दो या कुछ गिने-चुने लोगों के प्रयास करने से रूपान्तरण तो होगा परन्तु पूर्ण रूपान्तरण, जो श्री स्वामी जी महाराज का लक्ष्य है, वही नहीं हो पायेगा। पूर्ण रूपान्तरण के लिये तो प्रत्येक व्यक्ति का इस लक्ष्य के प्रति जागरूक होना पड़ेगा? और इसमें कोई स्वेच्छा की बात नहीं है बल्कि यह आज की आवश्यकता है परन्तु लोगों की इस लक्ष्य के प्रति जागरुकता कैसे जागे? क्योंकि हम देख रहे है, आज मानव समाज की स्थिति। अपनी स्वार्थ साधना में इतने तल्लीन हो गये है कि राष्ट्रहित और विश्वहित को अपना विषय ही नहीं समझते, तो फिर क्या किया जाये? क्योंकि लक्ष्य तो प्राप्त करना ही है। तो लोगों में जागरूकता कैसे लायें? क्या बहुत बड़े-बड़े शिविरों का आयोजन करके जनसमुदाय को संबोधित किया जाये? क्या रैलियां निकालकर नारे लगाएं? क्या घर-घर जाकर अलख जगाएं? क्या करें? हम देखते है कि इन सभी प्रयासों से उतनी सफलता नहीं मिल पाती जितनी इस लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति के लिये अपेक्षित है। जीवन भी थोड़ा सा ही है। यदि लोगों की जागरूक करने के प्रयास में ही जीवन बीत गया तो उस लक्ष्य को प्राप्त कब करेंगे? तो इन सभी उपायों को करते हुए भी हमें एक मूल उपाय ढूंढना होगा, जो इस लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति का मुख्य साधन हो। परम श्रद्धेय श्री स्वामी जी महाराज ने यह जो महान् संकल्प लिया, उसकी प्राप्ति के लिए उन्होंने हर क्षेत्र से प्रयास किया और निरन्तर कर रहे हैं। और इन सभी प्रयासों में उन्होंने सबसे मुख्य साधन समझा ‘शिक्षा’। यह सर्वविदित सत्य है कि शिक्षा ही एक ऐसा साधन है जो व्यक्ति के विचारों और कर्मों में परिवर्तन ला सकता है। ‘इसी तथ्य पर विचार करके लॉर्ड मैकाले ने भी भारत की शिक्षा व्यवस्था पर ही आघात किया था जिसका परिणाम हम आज तक भोग रहे हैं। अब विचार करना है कि इस लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति का मूल साधन शिक्षा कैसे हो सकती है? तो हम इस बात से भी अनभिज्ञ नहीं हैं कि जो आज हमारा वैचारिक स्तर है, जो आज हमारा कार्यक्षेत्र है, जो आज हमारी शारीरिक, मानसिक और बौद्धिक स्थिति है, उसके पीछे कारण है हमारी बचपन की शिक्षा, हमारी संगति। हमें जो पढ़ाया गया, हमें जैसा सिखाया गया, जैसा हमारे चारों तरफ का वातावरण था, जैसे लोगों के बीच में हम रहे, हम वैसे ही हो गए, हमारे भी वैसे ही अभ्यास हो गए। अब उन अभ्यासों में, विचारों में परिवर्तन किसी के समझाने से नहीं आ सकता। तो फिर वही प्रश्न- कैसे हो रूपान्तरण? कैसे लाएँ जागरूकता? तब हमारी दृष्टि जाती है उन पर, जिनके अभ्यास अभी अपरिपक्व हैं। जिनके विचारों और अभ्यासों में परिवर्तन लाना संभव है। वे हैं, बालक और युवा। और वह रूपान्तरण संभव है शिक्षा से। बस, इसी दृष्टि से श्रद्धेय श्री स्वामी जी महाराज ने इस लक्ष्य प्राप्ति का मुख्य साधन शिक्षा को समझकर बालकों व युवाओं के लिए अनेक शिक्षा संस्थानों की व्यवस्था की। जिसमें युवाओं के लिए पतंजलि विश्वविद्यालय, वैदिक गुरुकुलम्, वैदिक कन्या गुरुकुलम् व बालकों के लिए पतंजलि गुरुकुलम् व आचार्यकुलम् सम्मिलित हैं। जिसमें से वैदिक गुरुकुलम्, वैदिक कन्या गुरुकुलम् को वे विशेष महत्व देते हैं। वे स्वयं अनेक बार कहते हैं- पतंजलि योगपीठ मेरा शरीर है तो वैदिक गुरुकुलम् व पतंजलि गुरुकुलम् मेरी आत्मा हैं। अब पतंजलि गुरुकुलम् के प्रति भी स्वामी जी महाराज की क्या दृष्टि है, इस पर प्रकाश डालते हैं-

पतंजलि गुरुकुलम् का मुख्य लक्ष्य है ऐसे विद्यार्थियों का निर्माण करना जो वैदिक ज्ञान परम्परा में पूर्ण दीक्षित हों, साथ ही आधुनिक ज्ञान-विज्ञान से भी परिचित हों और गुरुकुलीय शिक्षा व्यवस्था में शिक्षित-दीक्षित होकर अपने व्यक्तित्व को शारीरिक, बौद्धिक, आध्यात्मिक व सामाजिक रूप से सर्वांगीण विकसित करके समाज, राष्ट्र व विश्व में सफलता, समृद्धि एवं विकास का नया इतिहास बना सकें।

पतंजलि गुरुकुलम् में विद्याभ्यास, योगाभ्यास एवं श्रेष्ठ व्रताभ्यास- इन तीनों बातों को समान रूप से महत्व दिया जाता है। विद्याभ्यास से विद्यार्थियों का समग्र बौद्धिक विकास, योगाभ्यास से शारीरिक, भावनात्मक व आध्यात्मिक विकास तथा श्रेष्ठ दिव्य सात्विक व्रतों के अभ्यास से चारित्रिक विकास के द्वारा स्वभाव या प्रकृति में पूर्ण दिव्यता विकसित करना ही गुरुकुलम् का ध्येय होता है।

सभी विवेकशील माता-पिता भी अपने बच्चों को ऐसे ही दिव्य रूप में विकसित होता हुआ देखना चाहते हैं, परन्तु वे प्रयासपूर्वक भी इतना अनुकूल वातावरण उपलब्ध नहीं करा पाते। गुरुकुलम् में एक बालक पर जितना ध्यान दिया जाता है उतना घर में बालक पर ध्यान नहीं दिया जा सकता। क्योंकि गुरुकुलम् का मुख्य उद्धेश्य ही  है बालक का निर्माण। गुरुकुलम् की सम्पूर्ण गतिविधियां ही विद्यार्थियों को लक्षित करके संचालित होती हैं परन्तु इतनी सर्तकता हम घर में बालक के प्रति नहीं बरत पाते क्योंकि माता-पिता के स्वयं के अन्य उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं और यदि घर में पूर्ण सात्विक वातावरण बनाया भी जाये तो भी बच्चे को विद्यालय में वह पूर्ण सात्विक वातावरण नहीं मिल पाता। अन्य बच्चों के साथ रहते हुए गलत आदतें सीखने की भी संभावना होती हैं। इस प्रकार अनेक बाधाएं होती हैं परन्तु गुरुकुलम् में प्रयासपूर्वक उन्हें ऐसा दिव्य व सात्विक वातावरण उपलब्ध कराया जाता है। प्रतिक्षण उनकी शारीरिक क्रियाओं, वाणी, विचार, आचार, व्यवहार पर ध्यान दिया जाता है और अशुभ से उन्हें बचाया जाता है। सामान्य विद्यालयों में हम बच्चों को उच्चतम शिक्षा तो देते हैं, परन्तु चाहकर भी उन्हें संस्कार नहीं दे पाते। वही गुरुकुलम् में चौबीसों घण्टे ऐसा वातावरण, प्रशिक्षण दिया जाता है तथा ऐसे अभ्यासों में उन्हें ढाला जाता है कि जिससे विद्यार्थी के जीवन में सम्पूर्ण दिव्यता प्रतिष्ठित हो जाये। वैयक्तिक व चारित्रिक रूप से गुरुकुलम् के विद्यार्थी एक महामानव या महापुरुष की तरह विकसित होते हैं। उनके जीवन में विविध कुशलताओं के साथ-साथ मनुष्यत्व, देवत्व व ऋषित्व का पूर्ण विकास होता है और उन सबके लिये किसी विशेष प्रयास की आवश्यकता नहीं होती बल्कि गुरुकुलम् की दिनचर्या, गतिविधियां, गुरु-आचार्यों व परस्पर की मर्यादा का पालन करते वे चीजें विद्यार्थियों का स्वभाव बन जाती हैं। यह उनके लिये भार, बोझ या तनावपूर्ण कार्य नहीं होता। अपने स्वभाव को परिवर्तित करने के लिये उन  पर दबाब नहीं डाला जाता। उन्हें पता भी नहीं चलता और वे गुरुकुलम् के वातावरण में ढल जाते हैं। इसके लिये कोई जोर-जबरदस्ती की जरुरत नहीं पड़ती। गुरुकुलम् में बच्चों को ऐसा ही वातावरण प्रदान किया जाता है। हम देखते हैं कि बच्चे जो भी गलत आदतें सीखते हैं वे अपने आसपास के बड़े लोगों या दूसरे बच्चों से सीखते हैं। जन्म से तो उन्हे कोई बुरा अभ्यास नहीं होता। अत: माता-पिता व गुरुजनों का परम कर्त्तव्य है कि बच्चों के समक्ष सदैव विधायक भाषा में ही सोचें-विचारें या करें और जो कुछ भी बालकों को सिखाना चाहते हैं उनके उदाहरण स्वयं बनें। केवल कहने मात्र से, उपदेश मात्र से बच्चे नहीं सीखते बल्कि बच्चे तो वही सीखते हैं जैसा व्यवहार वे अपने आस-पास देखते है, जैसी वाणी सुनते हैं। परन्तु यह दुर्भाग्य की बात है कि बच्चों के साथ जितना प्रयत्न किया जाना चाहिए सम्भवत: कोई बिरला ही उतना प्रयास करता हो। न तो माता-पिता के पास समय होता है और न कोई उत्तम दृष्टान्त और न ही वातावरण। श्रद्धेय श्री स्वामी जी महाराज का जो लक्ष्य है उसकी पूर्ति के लिये आवश्यक है, अच्छे इन्सान बनाना। और वह बचपन से ही बनाएं जा सकते हैं। बच्चे कच्ची मिट्टी की तरह होते हैं उन्हें हम जैसा ढालना चाहें वैसे हम ढाल सकते हैं, परन्तु एक बार घड़ा पक गया अर्थात् आपके अभ्यास बुरे बन गए, उसके बाद यदि प्रयास किया जाएगा तो कोई लाभ नहीं होगा। हम देख रहे हैं कि छोटे-छोटे बच्चों को घरों से, रास्तों से उठा लिया जाता है और उन्हें आतंकवादी बना दिया जाता है। उन्हे जो पढ़ाया जाता है, जो सिखाया जाता है वे वैसा सीख जाते हैं। तो हम भी बच्चों को गुरुकुलम् प्रणाली के माध्यम से बचपन से शुभ संस्कार देकर, सात्विक वातावरण में उनका सर्वांगीण विकास करके, उन्हें दिव्य महापुरुष, एक अच्छा इन्सान बनाना चाहते हैं।

गुरुकुलम् के पीछे श्री स्वामी जी महाराज की यही दृष्टि है कि पहले भारत का नेतृत्व गुरुकुलों में तैयार होता था, जहाँ पर विद्यार्थी वेद-वेदांगों के साथ-साथ शस्त्रविद्या, नीतिशास्त्र व अर्थशास्त्रों का भी अध्ययन करके सही व गलत की विवेचना करने की क्षमता प्राप्त कर लेते थे। तब व्यक्ति, परिवार, समाज व राष्ट्र में ईमानदार, संयमी, सदाचारी व्यक्तियों का सर्वोपरी स्थान होता था। दुर्भाग्य से आज देश का नेतृत्व कॉन्वेंट स्कूलों, ऑक्सफोर्ड, कैंब्रिज, हार्वर्ड, मैसाचुसेट्स आदि विदेशी शिक्षा संस्थानों में हो रहा है। इन संस्थानों में भले ही शिक्षा उत्तम हो परन्तु आध्यात्मिकता न होने से संस्कार नहीं मिल पाते। जिससे वे बच्चे बड़े होकर अपने मूल कर्तव्यों को निभाने में कोई रूचि नहीं लेते। किसी भी प्रकार से स्वार्थसिद्धि हो, ऐसी विचारधारा में जीने लगते हैं जिससे नैतिक मूल्यों का पतन हो रहा है और विश्व अनेक गंभीर समस्याओं से जूझ रहा है।

अत: श्रद्धेय स्वामी जी महाराज पतंजलि गुरुकुलम् के माध्यम से सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक, आध्यात्मिक, आर्थिक, व्यवसायिक, राजनैतिक, वैज्ञानिक व बौद्धिक नेतृत्व तैयार कर रहे है। ताकि ये बच्चे राष्ट्र और विश्व का नेतृत्व करें, जो स्वयं प्रामाणिक, संयमी, चरित्रवान् हैं। इसके अतिरिक्त और अनेक प्रयोजन है जिनका विस्तार करना कठिन है। एक बहुत बड़े लक्ष्य को लेकर इस प्रकल्प की शुरूआत की गई है। यह कोई 50 या 100 सालों का नेतृत्व नहीं बल्कि पतंजलि गुरुकुलम् का लक्ष्य 500 से 1000 वर्षों के लिये भारत का नेतृत्व तैयार करना है।
