SHREE MADHAVACHARYA GURUKULA...
 
 Aims & Objectives
 

To impart quality education in Ayurveda

To create good Ayurvedic physicians, teachers, researchers & experts in preparations of Ayurvedic medicines
The Need

Today education has been commercialized & Vidya has been made saleable. It was never a situation in Indian Culture. Vidya was being taught free of cost at Gurukuls. The Acharyas were very much respected. Gurus use to perform the duty of creating a national attitude leading to building of a nation. But the situation has totally changed today. Even thee ancient Indian Sciences like Ayurveda have lost the traditional mode of learning in the process of modernization.

 On the other hand serious health problems in the form of acute & chronic diseases are threatening the whole community at a global level. Ayurveda has a capacity to meet these challenges. What we need is the deeper study of the basic texts of Ayurveda & its practical application. This requires teamwork of dedicated people. To create such a team of Vaidyas is the need of the hour. Vaidya Madhava Kolhatkar, a visionary, and the person who conceived idea of Triskandha Kosha, inspired us for study in Ayurveda & hence the Gurukula is named as Shree Madhavacharya Gurukula
Gurukula System in Present Scenario
Today's educational system is not at all suitable to Ayurveda. On the contrary it is harmful to Ayurveda. Students get admitted to Ayurvedic course (BAMS) after completion of 12th Science. They are thus brought up in totally modern educational system without any knowledge about ancient educational system or ancient Indian sciences like Ayurveda, Yoga etc. The glamour of medical field, the respect to the medical profession in the society, good financial returns were the motivations behind the admission to medical courses. Even today the situation hasn't changed & the same are the reasons for admission. But due to progression (?) of fields like Engineering, IT, there is some regression in the field of medical education. Moreover students get admitted to Ayurveda because they get little less percentage to qualify them for MBBS. As an alternative they get admitted to Ayurvedic course. It is very well observed that, even after completion of BAMS or MD or even PhD, the students remain blank about Ayurveda.  There are various reasons for this. Ignorance about Ayurveda & Indian sciences right from school level, admission to Ayurveda as an alternative, examination focused teaching for Ayurvedic courses & employment oriented teaching staff are the main reasons. As a result the student remains blank or even curses Ayurveda. In order to change the situation, rigorous efforts are required to change the whole education system. In a march towards achieving this, educating the BAMS graduates & making them aware about ancient education system & showing a way to understand Ayurveda is the first step. The students after completion of 1st & 2nd year BAMS will follow this path. Efforts will be made to make students aware of Ancient Indian sciences & mode of learning after completion of 10th & 12th standard. This is a golden mean of ancient & modern educational systems.
The Course
After BAMS there will be a three tier educational system. The first level will be for creating good Ayurvedic practitioners. The second level will have emphasis on teaching & learning of preparation of Ayurvedic medicines, besides practice. The third level will emphasize on research besides practice. The course will also emphasize on practical aspect. Reading of basic texts, their commentaries, their explanations and memorization will also be part of the course. Ideal Ayurvedic Dinacharya will be observed during the course. Discussions, lectures, medical camps, excursions will also be a part of the course.
Admission Procedure
Only selected deserving candidates will get admission to the courses.
Benefits of these courses
The course will encourage the students to take up studies of original texts, to bring it in to practice. This will result in a desired dedicated team. Practice, academy, research will be benefited to great extent. The successful candidates will have chance to work in India & even abroad.
