It emphasized the harmonious development of mind, body, and soul through personalized mentorship, ethical instruction, and immersive living with the guru (teacher). This research explores the philosophy, structure, and curriculum of the Gurukul system and evaluates its continued relevance in today\u2019s global education landscape. Drawing from ancient texts and modern policy documents like India\u2019s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, this study identifies key elements of Gurukul pedagogy that can inspire contemporary education reforms. It argues that integrating principles such as character building, personalized learning, and value education into present-day systems\u2014especially in multilingual, postcolonial societies\u2014can foster educational models that are not only intellectually rigorous but also morally grounded and culturally rooted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Gurukul education, Vedic pedagogy, holistic learning, character formation, experiential education, NEP 2020, educational philosophy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: <\/strong>228-236<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/228-236.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Barun Ghosh DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/03050025 Abstract: The Gurukul education system, rooted in the Vedic traditions of ancient India, represents one of the most holistic, value-oriented, and experiential models of learning in world history.
