Spiritual and Cultural Integration
Leveraging Glastonbury’s rich spiritual heritage, Sarala offers unique opportunities for spiritual growth and exploration. Special events, retreats, and excursions to local sites of historical and spiritual significance enrich the learning experience, providing students with a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
A Day in the Life
Each day at our Gurukula begins with the rising sun, as students and teachers gather for morning meditation and yoga, setting a serene tone for the day. This practice is not merely an exercise but a preparation for the mind and body to absorb and interact with the day’s lessons.
Classes are conducted in an environment that encourages inquiry and exploration. Our curriculum is designed around the core principles of transcendental knowledge, the harmony of the body, and the practical application of Vidya (knowledge) in real life. Subjects range from the traditional—such as philosophy, Sanskrit, and Ayurveda—to the contemporary, including science, technology, and environmental studies. This holistic approach ensures that our students are not only well-versed in ancient wisdom but are also equipped to tackle modern challenges.
