Who we are:
The International Gurukul (IG) is a non-profit organization based in California, USA. It is working to bring together people from diverse cultures and ethnic background to promote social learning and human development. Its membership is open to all communities and faiths. In ancient India Gurukuls used to be residential complete learning centers wherein the Gurus (Teacher-Guides) and the Sishyas (Student-Learners) were living together. Training in life-management challenges used to be the focus along with spiritual learning.
