City Rishikuls

We would ideally like to give all children large open spaces and pleasant surroundings. This requires schools to be on the outskirts of the mainstream developed areas. However, not all parents or children choose to move out of the urban locale. For them, we do the best we can, given the time and space constraints of urban life. Having said this, our city Rishikuls are nevertheless extremely unique and remarkable institutions, on the whole, oriented to uncover the greatness in your child and his innate life potential and leadership potential.
The unique and much-sought-after MET Rishikul Vidyalaya at Bandra was originally co-founded by RSVK and MET though, presently it is MET alone that runs this school. One other example of our city Rishikuls is the unique Gujarati Rishikul being run at Ghatkopar in Mumbai.
RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS – RISHI GURUKUL
We have 3 Gurukul at Bodhuvals -Vishakhapatnam, Maralwadi -Bangalore & Katarkhadak -Pune
Eduation or Kala:
Many think that education means reading, writing and arithmetic. At least earning a B.A. Degree is a must. Most of these graduates are jobless or unsatisfactorily employed.
Most skilled workers are always in shortage. Everywhere there is shortage of Tool and die makers. Software programmers are in short supply. Carpenters have to be begged for. Plumbers are always not available. Masons are always on holidays. Coaches are in short supply.
An intelligent father will not opt for these expensive useless degrees from universities. Has any mason or carpenter supplied you any degree certificate?
It is not universities that have made India into a number one IT power. It is purely the work of NIIT and APTECH who trained skilled workers in software.
Learn a Kala such as Carpentry, Cooking, Dancing, Tabla, Karate, Swimming, Software, not for performance, but as coaches and trainers. If your boy is good in Cricket, let him build a career in Cricket. He need not become a test player, but can be a very much – needed coach to produce test players.
When you train and share what you are learning you automatically become a master. All paper degrees, which you will never use or teach, are worth the waste paper basket.
What you want your child to be?
Most people will say, “ I want my child to be a Doctor or Engineer or an IAS officer”.
Now many engineering colleges have no students. Most doctors are searching for patients, yet this craze is alive.
Why can’t my child be an entrepreneur? Why cannot my child be a political and social leader? We need lots of young entrepreneurs. We absolutely require sane political leaders. We require more than anything great teachers in school. Teaching is the best and the highest of all professions. It is only great teachers who will build any culture, any strength and any technology.
Parent’s aspirations mould the society. Everybody aspires for a great leader but they do not want theirs to be one. We have to have training schools for social and political leaders.
I fondly wish that our parents realize this and support institutions under wise leaders to develop such schools.
We are making such an attempt at Rishi Gurukulam
The Gurukulam is recognized by the CBSE.
The students are from all over India
The medium of instruction is English. Conversational Sanskrit is given special importance. The Gurukulam adopts the Rapid Comprehension and Review Technique (100% Memory Program) devised by Poojya Guruji Rishi Prabhakarji. The technique is based on the ancient Vedic systems. It helps children to remember subjects forever without any mental strain and recalling it spontaneously as and when required.
Differences Between a Gurukul & a School .
Gurukul focuses on inner growth... While school focuses on external performance.
Gurukul makes sure that what is learnt is never forgotten... A school focuses only on marks.
Gurukul focuses on a kala / skill... school focuses on syllabus.
Gurukul trains by serving the Guru... A school trains by payment.
Every child is a "Gift of God" and they are an essence of divinity.
To explore and maintain this divinity is the purpose of the school. –Guruji
