Overview

"Gu" means dark and "Ru" means light. So, "Guru" may be translated as darkness to light, or possibly one who leads from darkness to light. The Guru- Shishya parampara has been an inevitable part of education in the ancient Indian Culture. This involved the tradition of a living and learning relationship between the Guru and the Student (Shishya), signifying the emotional, intellectual and spiritual bonding between them. This strong bond between the Guru and the Shishya enables the Guru to become a mentor who leads the shishya from ignorance to wisdom, and enlightenment.

MAEER strongly believes in the virtues of the Guru-Shishya parampara and has nurtured a dream of molding the future citizens by equipping them with the latest instructional technology in the ambience of the Gurukul System.

This is the sole aim of establishing the project of Vishwashanti Gurukul, which is akin to an ashram, spread over 35 acres of lush greenery on the beautiful banks of the Mula-Mutha river is based on the matrix of Saptaswar, Saptarang and Saptarishi and is already in the final stages of manifestation at Rajbaug, Pune. Here, immense care has been taken to ensure the emotional, intellectual and spiritual interaction between the students (shishyas) and their respected and revered "Guru".

This picturesque area exudes peace and tranquility and seems closer to Mother Nature in spite of being located in close proximity to the busy Pune-Sholapur Highway. It can be the only place for 'Sadhna', the seeking of knowledge through the long forgotten concept of Gurukul.

The greatest contribution to this project was made by none other than the family members of the Late Raj Kapoor, the Legend of Indian Cinema byway of donating the land at Rajbaug, Pune.

Rajbaug was formally handed over to Hon'ble Dr. Vishwanath D.Karad, Executive President and Director General, MAEER on 4th August 2002, by the Kapoor Family. This was a resting place for the late showman who found high solace here and had wished that the land be used only for social or educational purpose. To fulfill his dream, this land has been developed into a large educational campus while still retaining its original serenity.
