Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan conveyed the message of Value based education: Morality & Selfless Services for upliftment of all mankind & for welfare of all living entities through Shikshapatri since 1830 A. D. At the advent of freedom Guruvarya Shastriji Maharaj Shree Dharmjeevandasji Swami started many pious & noble activities through Gurukul just to propagate this divine message in social, educational and religious fields.

This period was the dawn of freedom for india. The foresighted saint H.H. Shastriji Maharaj was the founder of Gurukul-like education system which was very famous in ancient India.

The inspiration for establishing Gurukul came in the mind of Gurudev Shastriji Maharaj when he was wandering the the Himalayan region of Alaknanda-Mandakini confluence and saw a Sanyaasi teaching Sanskrit to pupils in the holy ambience of Naradji’s, Rudraprayag.
