श्रुतिराम गुरुकुलम् - By Dr.Rangan ji

[Venkata Sriram]

Namaste,

Dr.Rangan ji, son of Sri Anna (Krishnapremi Swamiji) is running a veda & shastra gurukulam in Bangalore.  Just have a glimpse of it ! Really amazing..

vaTus are taught vedas as per their swa-shakha. Simultaneously, kAvyAs like rAmAyaNa are taught both to boys & girls.  During past time (anadhyayana days), 

laukika vidyas are imparted and trained in various scientific & mental-ability project works along with leelavathi bija ganitam.  

The medium of instruction is strictly in sanskrit and even students converse among themselves in sanskrit.  They also play Football, Kabaddi etc. and converse with ease 

in sanskrit while playing ! 

Here is youtube link :

Sarvebhyam Namaskarah,

Similar gurukul are in Rajarajeshwari nagar, Bengaluru ...

They work hand in hand with Samskritam Bharati.

Dhanywaad.

I am assuming that the other place mentioned in the thread is Vidyakshetra.

I have visited both the places. It cannot be said that they are similar. Both are striving for good and engaging education alright. However, there are significant differences.

1) Shrutirama-gurukulam is mainly for vedaadhyayanam (and Ramayanam) and since 10th/12th exams attached to some board have been made a necessary evil in this country, the students prepare for that along with vedadhyayanam. Vidyakshetram is not for vedadhyayanam. They teach all kinds of basic vidyas like literature (kannada, samskritam, english etc.), ganitam, history, geography and sciences including some rare knowledge like pottery and kalaripayattu as part of the decided school curriculum itself.

2) Shrutirama-gurukulam is run like a gurukulam of yore. The students live there and learn. The last time I checked, Vidyakshetra people were thinking about residential options but it was still a day school. However, parents and teachers meet and decide how to regulate non-school time (like TV watching hours) of the students. Many parents are also involved in the school's activities.

3) Shruti-rama gurukulam is for boys only (not considering some evening sessions where little girls would visit along with their parents) whereas since Vidyakshetra is a school striving to make education meaningful and interesting to a general population, they obviously take in girls also as students.

4) In both these places, they use the language of convenience (Samskritam, Kannada, tamizh, hindi, English) for a particular subject and related communication with an emphasis on striving to know bharatiya languages well. 

5) Vidyakshetra was inspired by teachers teaching in Steiner's schools in Bengaluru. (By the way, Steiner got his idea from India's gurukula system only. Another case of plagiarism and unacknowledged source). This kind has to grow. Otherwise, we are filling the heads of students with unnecessary data and formulae that they dont understand and most likely will never be using in their lives. On the other hand, they lack communication skills and are often unemployable even after a Bachelor's degree.

We need more of both the types.
