Need of Gurukul in Modern Era
Development of the child in 21st century is challenging in itself. At Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul International Schools, we deeply understand that today’s parents are worried and equally confused about their child’s development.
Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul International Schools’ education system is about understanding the hidden talents, strengths, passion, feelings, morality, spirituality and dwell through all those weaknesses within a child. Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul has emerged as a boon to nurture their qualities and help them to grow better as a human being.

Sanskar!
Nobody set Ravan as his role model though he was powerful & scholar!
Ancient Gurukul Education
But by the time,
Gurukuls were destructed
by Invaders.
Alexander & The Greeks (336 – 323 B.C.E.)
The Arab Invaders (636 – 850 C.E.)
The Turkish Invaders (1000 – 1206 C.E.)
The Mughal Invaders (1526 – 1857 C.E.)
The British Rulers (1858 – 1947 C.E.)
They destroyed all the Gurukuls 9,00,000 Gurukuls – But in 1948 it was the RISE OF GURUKUL.
The Legend of Gurukul is back now in Independent India
Independent India needs Ideal Citizens
Are we Independent? Earlier we were ruled by Britishers and now we are ruled by our addictions, ego, greed, immorality etc.
Historic Event.
