The Shishya would normally live near, or even with, the Guru, typically in a rural setting. This system is called <strong>Guru-Shishya Parampara<\/strong>, which signifies the transfer from Guru to Shishya. Before the development of written script, Ayurvedic medicine was traditionally orally transferred via the Guru-Shishya Parampara system. This oral tradition was carried forward even after the script was developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The word Gurukula is a combination of two Sanskrit words: \u2018Guru\u2019, meaning teacher, and \u2018Kula\u2019, meaning family or community. The Sanskrit word Guru has two roots:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Gu\u2019, which is darkness or ignorance, and \u2018Ru\u2019, which is light. Thus, Guru is one who leads from darkness into light; from untruth to truth; and from death to immortality&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Advayataraka Upanishad 14\u201418, verse 5, Ayyangar, 2006).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among ancient civilisations, India is the only country that can claim an unbroken continuity of precise oral transmission. For several centuries, the Vedas survived in oral form, passed from the Brahmin Gurus to the Brahmin Shishyas, often within a family circle. Those Shishyas would then become Gurus themselves and pass the wisdom on to the next generations (Raina, 2002).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Guru-Shishya Parampara, a wide range of information was transferred through words from master to disciple, which included the ancient Vedas and Puranas, philosophy, science, technology, literature and the arts, the knowledge and skill was transmitted in India through the master\u2019s words spoken to the disciple. The student disciple would pose questions and the master would answer. Observation and listening skills were refined far beyond the capacity of those who relied only on the written word. In that manner the transmission from the master to the student continued, through a highly systematised methodology of learning (Vatsyayan, 1982).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A classic example of the Guru-Shishya relationship can be found in the Bhagavad Gita, a 700-verse Hindu scripture written in Sanskrit that is part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. In this Gita, the Shishya Arjuna is guided by his Guru Krishna to the higher levels of spiritual development (Raina, 2002).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the Ayurvedic ancient classical texts follow the structure of dialogues between the Guru and Shishya, and are a direct result of such Gurukula education. Ayurveda represents a diverse knowledge tradition based on logic, reasoning, questioning and critical assessment. The attitude of scientific development requires a dynamic thought process that includes interactions with a free exchange of ideas (Patwardhan, 2013). As mentioned by Vaidya Krishna Kumar (2011) a student lacking the relevant training or interest to look within will experience confusion when studying classical Ayurveda.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 19th century, Ayurvedic medicine was conveyed in the traditional way by Gurus who taught free of charge. The education was not just theoretical. The Shishya served as an apprentice to the Guru, and accompanied him during patient visits. Thus, the Shishya would learn the art of diagnosis, practical knowledge and methods of processing medicines from raw materials.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once colonial British settlers intervened, Western medicine practices began to influence traditional Indian medicine education. The teaching of Ayurveda changed further with the establishment of the Calcutta Medical College, which began to teach modern medicinal techniques. Those who wanted to become physicians gradually sought information about traditional Indian medicine in favour of allopathic medicine and institutional teaching. In 1835, British policies marginalised Indian medicine by declaring it inferior to modern healing practices (Chandra, 2013).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Guru and Shishya in the Gurukula system&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ancient concept of the Guru is timeless, and can be found in various fundamental books on religion, philosophy and spirituality. Guru refers to a person who can kill the ignorance of his Shishya and uplift his character, leading him to the path of liberation. This is how poet Kalidasa (Rajput, 1999) writes about the meaning of a Guru: \u2018He converts darkness into light and he makes the invisible God visible\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the ancient Ayurvedic text Charaka Samhita, the author highlights the necessary qualities that the teacher should exhibit when teaching Ayurveda to the student:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2018Excellence in medical knowledge, an extensive practical experience, dexterity and purity \u2013 these are four qualities of the physician.\u2019<\/em> \u00a7\u00a7(CS. SS chapter IX \/ verse 6)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharma and Dash (2008) elaborate further that the teacher should be completely versed with their teaching, competent with words, have internal understanding of wisdom, significant practical experience and well-developed skills. He must live according to his own teachings. They mention that the teacher should also be intelligent, virtuous, honest, sincere, truthful, pleasing and compliant. He should have a balanced personality and temperament. He should be humble, without hatred, content and be affectionate towards the student, treating him as a brother.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Selection process in the Gurukula methodology&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, the selection process of entering into Gurukula education varied greatly compared with the criteria requirements of modern educational institutions, which use entrance exams or grade records as eligibility criteria. In the traditional Gurukula system, many additional factors were considered before a Guru accepted a Shishya as a student disciple, described below. The Shishya would also have an opportunity to examine the Guru before offering his full surrender.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his analysis of Guru-Shishya Parampara, Vatsyayan (1982) identifies a special form of communication between the Guru and the Shishya that surpasses all considerations of caste, class, religion and economic status. The Guru only accepts the Shishya after laborious testing, whether or not the student is his own relative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Guru would become aware of Shishya\u2019s temperament and capabilities. This was required because the Shishya could only achieve the integrated personality if proper attention was paid to his psychological makeup and points of view. The selection process would go both ways and the Shishya was also supposed to identify if the Guru had suitable qualities as described in the section above.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once both sides tested each other and decided that their relationship could be fruitful, the Guru would initiate the Shishya and he in return would offer the total surrender to the chosen master. Swami Satyananda (1977) explained that such initiation is the beginning of a relationship where the mind of the Shishya starts flowing in synergy with the mind of the Guru until these two minds intertwine. Raina (2002) continues to argue that it is the unique relationship between the Guru and the Shishya that is the heart of the learning process towards academic excellence, spiritual attainment, or the development of inherent potentialities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a more recent study, Menon and Spundich (2016) investigated the Ashtavaidya Ayurveda physicians of Kerala through a series of interviews with the Gurus. The study points out that traditionally eighteen upper caste Keralan families were designated as Ashtavaidyas. Each Ashtavaidya family refined its own therapeutic specialties with specific methods of transmission. Most of the specialties were guarded as family secrets; however, some Shishyas outside of the family were accepted in order to help and disseminate the knowledge beyond the clan circle and to create new origins of transmission. The training of Ashtavaidyas was offered in the Gurukula system and involved a long-term and intense study under accomplished Gurus. As part of their study, they memorized all 7120 verses of Ashtanga Hrdayam ancient Ayurvedic text. Today, only a few Ashtavaidya doctors trained in this Gurukula method remain.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many Gurukula teaching opportunities within the field of Ayurveda have ceased to exist. In 1988, however, the Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) established an autonomous organization called Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth (RAV). This organization began an initiative to revive the Gurukula system in India. They realised that this kind of teaching methodology is presently missing in the modern educational institutions and they began a one-year course where Gurus teach their treatment methods to graduates of Ayurvedic medicine in order to preserve the secret healing techniques by transferring them to younger generations (Chandra, 2013).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AYUSH department prepared an extensive report titled \u2018Status of Indian Medicine and Folk Healing\u2019 (Chandra, 2013), which includes a critique of RAV and their Guru-Shishya Parapara programme. This report provides information about the basis for the selection of the Gurus and Shishyas for Gurukula initiative. It explains that RAV places advertisements inviting Gurus to apply for the position of teacher. On the basis of submitted biography and physical verification of the Guru\u2019s clinic and the available facilities, the Gurus are chosen to be teachers in the Gurukula tradition. Gurus are then given the opportunity to select their Shishyas based on students\u2019 merit and the results from an entrance test.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Methodology of Teaching the Gurukula System and Examples of Gurukula programmes&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teaching, example and influence play significant roles in the Gurukula methodology and are the tools of the Guru. The teaching commences when the Shishya has developed discipline and tunes into the mental wavelength of his Guru. Then a complete transformation of the Shishya by the Guru can take place. The master would make the disciple understand the significance of his own thoughts, feelings and motivations (Raina, 2002).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Sri Aurobindo (1972) writes, the Guru has no method and every method. A wise teacher will not impose himself or his opinions on the Shishya but instead he will sow a seed and try to awaken rather than instruct. He will use a teaching method as an adaptable device and not as a fixed routine.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A very interesting example of a Gurukula programme, called \u2018Coimbatore Experiment\u2019, was set up in 1986 by a well renowned Vaidya P.R. Krishna Kumar. Indulal (2001) described this programme in his article about Vaidya Krishna Kumar. The \u2018Coimbatore Experiment\u2019 was a seven and a half year Gurukula Ayurveda course, which was first affiliated with Madras University and then with Bharathiar University. Besides Ayurvedic theory, the learning included spiritual practices and traditional martial arts. The programme was set in a rural environment with Shishyas living alongside their Gurus. This course was free of charge, with tuition fees, books and logging being fully covered for the selected Shishyas. In total, nine batches of Shishyas were successful in completing this programme, which eventually had to stop because of a lack of acceptance from the Indian authorities. This particular course trained Ayurvedic doctors who are now well-known practitioners in India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another example of a Gurukula programme existing today is the one run by the previously mentioned Rasthriya Ayurveda Vidyapeet (RAV). Here, the teaching methodology adapts some aspects of the traditional Gurukula system, but the course lasts only one year and as previously explained the selection of the Shishya is mainly based on merit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their previously introduced article on Ashtavaidyas, Menon and Spundich (2016) describe the methodology present in the Ashtavaidya Gurukula.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The long-term teaching took place under accomplished Gurus. In order to analyse Ayurvedic medical texts, Shishya had to have a good knowledge of Sanskrit, which was studied through grammar, poetry and drama. The students would also master the study of traditional Nyaya, Vaisheshika and Samkhya philosophies. Equally, a lot of absorption of Ayurvedic knowledge happened through the observation of the Guru himself. In the Ashtavaidya Gurukula the ideal period of study was fifteen years. The first five years were dedicated to studying Ayurvedic texts, followed by five years learning about practical medicinal plants, and the last five years were as apprenticeship at Guru\u2019s home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>REFERENCES<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayyangar, T.
