Inspired by the Rishis of Bharata

Education has always been central to the culture of Bharata. The wisdom of our Rishis, who are experts in human learning processes, have given us templates upon which curriculum and content can be built for holistic education. While the world of educators and pedagogists focus on building better teaching aids and methods, Indian Learning systems from Ancient Bharata focus on facilitating learning. 

A Guru is one who is a perpetual learner and thus invokes learning in others. Therefore, how one learns is how one teaches, because when you teach, the first person to learn is you yourself. 8 youngsters who have graduated from the Gurukulam process of learning make up the core team of Leela Gurukulam.

The Gurukulam gives us the purpose of Life as to learn and evolve continuously while being conscious contributors and cultural creators. As we graduated from the Gurukulam through our Samavartana Sanskara, we were trained as Educators and Content Creators to bring ancient wisdom in a modern context. We stand by our vow of “Satyam Vada Dharmam Chara Svadhyayan Ma Pramadaha”.

This inspired us to take the vision of the Gurukulam forward and make it applicable and accessible to this generation not just to be in continuity of our own learning, but also to revive Swadeshi Education for future generations. 

Parents who have experienced the impact of Gurukulam way of life learning on their children are also part of the team and participate as parent mentors. Parent Mentors have also graduated from Gurukulam Mentors Training Programmes. 

Our Spiritual Lineage

The Shivanetra lineage is a community of learners guided by the wisdom of Sri Skanda Guru Natha or Sri Kartikeya, who is both their presiding deity and the originator. Shivanetra Parampara is not confined to any stream of philosophy – be it Advaita, Dvaita, Vishishta Advaita or Tantra, but rather encompasses the essence of all philosophies based on Sanatana Dharma. All aspects of our life are structured around the Sri Vidya principles through the Kartikeya approach. We do not have a hierarchy in the lineage since the goal is to awaken the Guru in our hearts represented by the deity Lord Sri Skanda Gurunatha. We are led by those who walk the path along with us. The life and words of Skanda Purana and Rishi Agastya have a great significance in our learning journey. One cannot be born into, groomed into, converted or initated into the Shivanetra Lineage. If your heart has been touched by the love of Lord Kartikeya in any form or name, you will know it and will identify your spirit siblings. 

Our Mentors

The team that is at the core of operations, content creation, curriculum development and mentorship at Leela Gurukulam, Leela Bhoomi, Parents of Bharata, Garbha Gurukulam, Sanatana Life Academy [previously known as Omnio Future Academy] and Valli Edu are personally trained and mentored by Babaji [Shivakumar Shivanetra] and Maa [Meera Shivanetra].

Meera Maa’s lifetime work has been based on Vidya Gita, Human Learning Systems as expounded by the Rishis of Bharata.
