Today like all other systems of education even Ayurveda has found its way of preaching the knowledge through the formal education system of sitting in a four-walled chamber. This system introduced and disseminated by the British has traversed into every system now. Undoubtedly, a method that gives discipline and stern qualities of the individual but will it give a proper and precise knowledge like the system of the past namely the GURUKULA SYSTEM. In-fact today the bookish knowledge has become very rampant without subdue consideration to the practical utility and demonstration. This is the main drawback of the present system and it is quite evidently reflected in the system of Ayurveda too.
In the Gurukula system of education a teacher and student had the right to choose one another resulting in confidence and obliging nature from both the individuals towards one another. The Guru (Teacher) is devoted to the Shishya (Student) for providing the knowledge whenever it appears necessary while the Shishya (Student) is devoted to Guru to offer any service till he is in the association of the Guru (Teacher) whenever asked for to obtain the clear and complete knowledge. This system gives a clearness in knowledge as the Guru that is selected by the student will undoubtedly be flawless and with good reputation in the theater of operations. Thus the knowledge obtained will also be pure and well built. The practical exposure to the various facets of the work is always continuous and without any distractions.
The present system is not obliged to receive these benefits. Unlike the Gurukula system the students are only taught to be literate. Undoubtedly the system has become quite mechanical in the approach where the teacher is only a speaking instrument that that performs the task of explaining the aspect of the subject. While the student sometimes with or without interest is forced to sit with others for hearing an uncomfortable preaches of the teacher.
It is true that every system has a flaw and benefits. But at the end which system is giving more and precise knowledge is to be taken into consideration. After all, isn't the knowledge that matters than the method that is employed to obtain the same?................................................................CFEIA
