Siddha Gurukula
Objective: A unique concept to integrate health & education through yoga and spirituality to facilitate growth and harmony. India, a land blessed with the ancient wisdom of Vedic seers has perfected the art of Nature health & Yoga. The Gurukulas of ancient India had understood and articulated the fundamental principles of healthful living in harmony with Nature. Man has evolved to attain a state of intellectual awakening with the possibility of supreme consciousness. The Upanishads indicate that we are composed of three bodies namely-Sthoola-shareeram(Physicalbody), Shukshma-shareeram (subtle or ethereal body) and Karana-shareeram (causative body). The parents give birth to the physical body and we develop our mind through the experiences acquired from parents, surroundings, religion, society & other sources of learning. Thus every individual has separate mental concepts and conditionings which are the causes for emotional and energy blocks. To understand these energy blocks and to purify our mind and intellect is the main purpose of a Guru Kula. The Master in the Guru Kula through his wisdom and compassion enlightens our intellect to give birth to our spiritual or true self through awareness. Guru Kula Concept: The place will mainly facilitate the creation of a Modern therapy and counseling center to help deal with emotional imbalance and stress related problems of students and also to train and recreate the staff to newer and higher energies of growth as masters.

Gurukula is not an ordinary school, college or a university; but a school where the Upanishads are allowed to flower. Upanishads are the outpourings of realized spiritual masters to the disciples. The question of learning was secondary, the question of being was important. Gurukula is a place where knowledge is transmuted to a state of blissful living. Life’s Precious gems: Early one morning, before sunrise, a fisherman went to a river. On the bank he felt something underfoot, and found it to be a small sack of stones. He picked up the sack, and putting his net aside, squatted on the bank to await the sunrise. He was waiting for dawn to break in order to start his day’s work. Lazily he picked a stone out of the bag and threw it into the water. Then he cast another stone and then another. In the absence of anything else to do, he kept tossing the stones into the water, one by one. Slowly the sun rose and it became light. By that time he had thrown all the stones away except one; the last stone lay in his palm. His heart almost failed him when he saw, by daylight, what he held in his hand. It was a gem! In the darkness, he had thrown a whole sack of them away! What had he lost unknowingly! Full of remorse, he cursed himself. He sobbed and cried, almost out of his mind with grief. He had accidentally stumbled upon enough wealth to enrich his life many times over, but unknowingly, and in the darkness, he had lost it. Yet in a way he was fortunate: still one gem was left; the light had dawned before he had thrown it away too. Generally, most people are not even that fortunate. There is darkness all around and time is fleeting. The sun has not yet risen and we have already wasted all life’s precious gems. Life is a vast treasure trove, and man does nothing with it but throw it away. By the time we have realized the importance of life, we have whiled it away. The secret, the mystery, the bliss, the deliverance, heaven — all is lost. And one’s life is spent with no purpose.
