•Traditionally, the Guru would live a simple married life, and accept shishya where
he lived.
•A person would begin a life of study in the Gurukula (the household of the Guru).
•At the Gurukul, the working student would study the basic traditional vedic
science and various practical skills-oriented sastras along with the religious texts
contained within the Vedas and Upanishads.
•The education stage of a youth with a guru was referred to as Brahmacharya.
•This guru-driven tradition included arts such as sculpture, poetry and Music.

the guru, signifying that the student wants to live with, work and help the guru in
maintaining the gurukul, and as an expression of a desire for education in return
over several years.

called matha or ashram in different parts of India. These had a lineage of gurus,
who would study and focus on certain schools of Hindu philosophy or trade, and

"sitting down near" a spiritual teacher to receive instruction. The relationship between
