Gurukula Message :
On the 34th anniversary (September 7th) of the founding of Ananda Marga Gurukula (Gurukul Divas), it is my pleasure to report that Gurukula is now an established and growing global network of neohumanist educators and actively engaged on all continents. (https://gurukul.edu/newsletters/issue58/).
From remote villages to big cities, Gurukula is trying to foster neohumanist values and spirituality among children. At our headquarters at Anandanagar also, AMGK is inching along towards establishing the dream of Revered Baba to establish a global communiversity dedicated to community service with neohumanist values.
For scholars and for nurturing higher education, we have just printed the third issue of Neohumanist Review (https://theneohumanist.com).
Global Association of Neohumanist Educators (GANE) will be hosting another international global Gurukul conference in Romania (July 11-16),2025. You may write to for further details.
In Baba’s words “The noblest form of social service is to educate the public and create a sense of consciousness in them. This sense of consciousness is to be inculcated in and every human being. This is your duty…Education which leads to the acquisition of knowledge plus morality makes for a peaceful society.”
Let us remember the Gurukul Song today which was composed by Baba on the eve of his physical departure from this mortal world. May we continue to further his legacy through our benevolent actions every day.
A’mra’ gar’e nobo gurukul
Jina’ner a’loke ra’ungiye dobo
Pratit’i kunr’i phu’l
Keho na’ tha’kibe dure
Ba’ja’bo pratit’i ta’re
Ba’ndhibo priitiri d’ore
E maniha’re atu’l
Keho na’ tha’kibe piche
Theli na’ ka’reo niche
Sabe a’tmiiya vira’je
Mana ma’jhe dodul du’l
Gar’e nobo gurukul
A’mra’ gar’e nobo gurukul
We shall establish Gurukul (University).
We shall color each and every bud with the effulgence of knowledge.
No one will remain distant;
we shall sound every string of the lyre.
We will bind everybody with the thread of love
and create a garland of incomparable beauty.
No one will be left behind;
No one shall be pushed to the bottom.
All will exist as kith and kin,
with their minds full of sweetness and tenderness for all.
We shall establish the Gurukul (University).
We shall color each and every bud with the effulgence of knowledge.
With sincerest regards,
Ac. Shambhushivananda Avadhuta
Kulapati, Ananda Marga Gurukula
