	Introduction to Music Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Gurukula was an residential school run by a single individual where the pupil or the student was supposed to do all the work in the guru's family.
		We can find the gurukula system of teaching in different epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata etc., Students used to stay in the ashrams for learning and served their Gurus with dedication.
		Slowly the ideal gurukula system had to face some difficulties in the medieval or late medieval period, because of the change in the political arena.

		The Gurukula was established by Narayana Guru's successor, Nataraja Guru, born 1895.
		Narayana Guru wanted his disciple to have a Western education, and Nataraja was schooled at the Sorbonne, where he was immersed in the intense intellectual ferment of the revolution in quantum theory and other Western philosophy during the first decades of the century.
		Because of this profound interest in the deepest philosophy of both East and West, the NARAYANA GURUKULA is committed to a world-wide perspective, always based on Narayana Guru's vision of the one-ness of individual identity with the All.

		Gurukula administrators seemed less concerned with the welfare of the children than with the reputation of gurukulas, which they saw as their service to Prabhupada and thus something to be protected at all costs.
		Yet, at one point in gurukula's history, it was felt that train-ing and qualifications for teachers, such as an education degree, were actually to be avoided because they would only contaminate the devotee teachers with karmi ideas.
		There was an absolute insistence by gurukula authorities that all ISKCON children had to be separated from their parents while in gurukula, even when some children and parents clearly should not have been apart.

		Gurukula system means learning through living, travelling and completely associating oneself with the Guru (teacher).
		The difference that is pointed out is, in the Gurukula system the set up could be compared to the present day residence or boarding school where a group of students were under one single Guru till they completed their education.
		The Gurukula system has been an effective system to preserve this traditional art form without losing the values for this many generations.

		My son could have gotten Gurukula training, but the continued abuse we hear about, and the lack of compassion we have seen in some Gurukula teachers dealings with others shows us for sure the total incompetence of the Gurukula system.
		Gurukula is fine when the parents take their kid back home every day.
		If there is something missing in the Gurukulas in India, it is the love for kids, and lack of dedication to train them and make them first-class devotees and preachers.

		Given that the fundamental goal of the gurukula was to train students in sense control, children were removed from their family as early as age four or five years.
		As a former gurukula teacher and Headmaster makes clear, it was assumed that any devotee who was steady in his or her spiritual practice was qualified to work in the gurukula.
		The effect of an ever-changing complement of gurukula teachers and staff meant that the children were unable to build and sustain meaningful and perhaps loving relationships with their adult caregivers.

		As a high-spirited 6-year-old, Ananda Tiller was told by a gurukula teacher that she was a prostitute and would be reincarnated as a tree, much like the one growing at the Dallas temple.
		She recalls being "scared to death" that she, too, was going to be reincarnated as a tree and spend her next life "naked." A soft-spoken redhead, whose passivity was the source of her troubles, she was castigated by her teachers for engaging in "subtle sex" when she didn't towel herself off quickly enough after showering.
		Her gurukula teacher, though one of the nicer ones, was the head of the day school.

		As an alternative for those who are unable to situate their children in an available gurukula, and are strongly reluctant to risk exposing their children to public school, cyber-education will become a very viable alternative, once properly established.
		Being the sysop (the person in charge of the overall administration of the “cyber gurukula” school) would involve pretty much everything that a gurukula headmaster normally does, except he or she wouldn’t have to maintain and protect the physical bodies of the students, nor of the teachers at remote locations.
		The gurukula would be a full time K-12 school on the Internet that teaches all subjects, and that always responds to students within 24 hours (except on weekends), and at certain times of the day within minutes.

		In the case of Dhanurdhara, he has become the most visible fall guy for the whole gurukula system, and seems to have been chosen by the leaders to deflect criticism and outrage headed in their direction.
		Throughout the extended period of his work in the gurukula, you can't tell me that Dhanurdhara couldn't detect the results of his methods, projecting far into the future the consequences of the children's great unhappiness with him.
		Their dreams and hopes were dashed by the same authorities that were overseeing the Vrindavan gurukula that Dhanurdhara was in charge of.

		In our case the Gurukula, or the ‘house of the Teacher’, includes the forest, the garden with its colourful assemblage of plants and animals, the river, the monsoon climate and also the community of humans in which children and adults can live, participate and share responsibilities for varying lengths of time.

		The experience that we have had in gurukula is that much of the training that you are trying to give the child is lost when the child is with the parents.
		But most of the time we didn't see how tired she really was and so, whining and complaining about how little attention we got, we sometimes drove her to tears.
