meaning of gurukula
(Gurukula is a Sanskrit word meaning family of the Guru) Our purpose is to provide a contemplative community for the study of the wisdom teachings of East and West. We respect both independent study and the Upanishadic tradition of teaching, that is, sitting at the feet of a master.
The first Gurdwara in the world was built by Guru Nanak in 1521-2 at Kartarpur. There are about 200 Gurdwaras in Britain. The literal meaning of the Punjabi word Gurdwara is 'the residence of the Guru', or 'the door that leads to the Guru'.
