'The children at the Gurukul wake up every morning like a flower, with deep love and peace, and intense freshness to face the day. They live around people who are meditators, who are centered and balanced within. All our teachers are meditators who have imbibed the art of living and learning. The Gurukul offers a space where learning is joy and just being is meditation. Here, the children do not absorb the negativity of the outer world; they absorb only positive vibrations and maintain the purity of the inner world, radiating Nithyananda - Eternal bliss!' - Paramahamsa
Nithyananda Gurukul is a spiritual incubator, a loving space for children to learn and grow, and become wonderful energies of love and compassion. It creates a space for self-transformation where education is transmission of wisdom, not just knowledge. It protects and develops the innate intelligence of the child. It creates a fearless approach to life and learning. Life at the Gurukul is as challenging as is joyful. The children here grow to be responsible individuals, well learned and capable of facing the toughest challenges of life, centered deeply within.

We are lucky to be able to be in the ashram's energy, attend guru puja and arati and to be in the presence of the Master. Swamiji takes class for us and tells us about his childhood and how he got enlightened. People here are very close to us and take good care of us.

We often see Swamiji walking around the ashram and sometimes he even spends time with us in the Laughing Temple. After coming to this ashram, my aim is to become an enlightened person and remove all the sadness in the world and have a peaceful and 'Nithyanandam' life. It is Swami's presence that makes me understand how lucky I am to be here in this Gurukul.

At the Gurukul, we play games, such as basketball, football, volleyball and many more. We learn many interesting subjects like Sanskrit, French, Hindi, computers, and art. We also learn slokas from the Bhagavad Gita. I love this school because of the great energy and the blessings of Swamiji. We feel happy, proud and lucky to be in this Gurukul and to be Swamiji's children.

Here, with Swamiji's blessings, we can gain a lot of knowledge. Swamiji spends time with us even though he has a very busy routine. The surrounding is so peaceful. The Gurukul teachers guide us well! All the ashramites love us and help us feel at home. In the Nithyananda Gurukul, all students are friendly. We play many indoor and outdoor games.
