Gurushishya Parampara

Gu" means dark and "Ru" means light. So, "Guru" can be roughly translated as darkness to light, or possibly one who leads from darkness to light. The Guru is a teacher who guides the Shishya's (student’s) life or a spiritual mentor who leads the shishya from blindness or ignorance to bliss, wisdom, and enlightenment.
The Guru-Shishya parampara has been an inevitable part of education in ancient Indian culture. This involved the tradition of a living and learning relationship between the Guru and the Student (Shishya), signifying the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual bonding between them.
This strong bond between the Guru and the Shishya enables the Guru to become a mentor who leads the Shishya from ignorance to wisdom, and enlightenment. Guru-Shishya proximity thus is not only a part of our social order, but also a milestone in the life of a human being in society. The living science of education i.e. Bio Psycho-Psychic Science in our culture, has been long lost due to ignorance of the people in this era of modernization. The revival of this spirit and its practice in the field of education at all levels is the urgent need of the hour. MAEER strongly believes in the virtues of the Guru-Shishya parampara and has nurtured a dream of molding future citizens by equipping them with the latest instructional technology in the ambience of the Gurukul System.
This is the sole aim of establishing the project of Vishwashanti Gurukul, which is akin to an ashram on the beautiful banks of the Mula-Mutha river. Here, immense care has been taken to ensure the emotional, intellectual and spiritual interaction between the students (shishyas) and their respected and revered Guru.
A unique blend of the ancient Indian Guru-Shishya Parampara with the modern methodology of instruction amongst the state of the art infrastructure is the essence of Gurukul.

Conductive Environment

In the lush green lawns of Vishwashanti Gurukul is yet another abode for the students where they will feel at home. This is the boarding home which incorporates girls and boys from ages 4-18 years. Giving due respect to the Guru Shishya Parampara the students at the Vishwashanti Gurukul boarding not only learn academics but absorb life skills under the able guidance of their respective House Masters/Mistresses, Boarding staff and Principals.

Students get the experience to live away from home
as a preparation for life.

It's never easy to leave the nest. But, doesn't it make more sense to make the move a few years before college? Of course it does. Students learn how to cope with life and all its many high and low points within a community of their peers who are going through the same things they are. All of this is happening under the watchful eye of the HMs who, are by themselves experienced teachers and parents in their own capacity
