Gurukul Anubhav Scholarship Scheme 2014
About the Scheme
India’s core competence lies
in its knowledge of the inner domain. Increasingly, we are discovering that our
educational system is directed towards an easy way out and is making us into
‘Indian nationals’ without providing us with equal opportunities to become
Indians. To become a real Indian one has to find a way to claim his/her
country fiercely through a rapt faith in its essence, for the very life as it
were. We are too full of our belief in a natural, fated kind of our
greatness which we assumed was the birthright of India. This was of
course, the result of great people – saints and mystics of colossal stature,
presence and power. We assumed that since such people seem to be born in
the land more or less on order, in a regular stream through history we had
something very special in us and that in some odd way we too were like
Paramhamsa and Vivekananda, Gandhi, Dayananda, Ramana or Tagore or thousands of
less well known men and women of that kind. We forget, every fire needs a
spark. An educational system that does not incorporate in its effort to
mould the minds of the young in all the dimensions of the Indian experience, is
bound at some point to lose what it claims to be the Indian culture. ‘GuruKul –
experience offers that ‘spark’ an inspiration that may transform an entire
life.
The scheme began in the year
1986 to enable students to have a glimpse into the age-old guru-shishya
tradition. It is an attempt to expose school and college students to a
way of life with people who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of their
work with single-minded devotion. It was felt that if a student had an
opportunity to go and stay with a guru for a month during summer vacations (May
/June/July)and observe the ethos that exists in a completely different system
of education and living than the student’s own, the experience would be both
inspiring and fulfilling.
Through the scholarship
scheme SPIC MACAY makes an attempt to bring the students closer to a world of
wisdom, inspiration, dreams, discovery and exploration. It brings them in
contact with such dedicated and acclaimed people who have achieved a lot in
their respective fields through the strength that comes from sheer hard work,
discipline and inherent talent.
This scheme provides an
opportunity to a student to stay with such people for a month and imbibe their
wisdom and observe the ethos that exists in an environment completely different
from their own – an experience which will be both inspiring and
fulfilling. Staying with any of these Gurus for a month would be a voyage
of discovery and an exercise in self growth. The student, by
interacting with the Guru could learn how visions & dreams were converted
into reality, how strength came from within and struggle was something beautiful.
This thirty day’s experience would be a holistic education in an environment
that inspires, even as it disciplines.
