Gurukul Hub & Soul Science
Embarking on our long-held aspiration, we proudly introduced ‘Soul Science’ as a core subject at Birla Open Minds. Our mission is clear: to nurture a generation of vibrant, self-driven, and mindful individuals, equipped with the confidence to lead in all spheres of life. One of our flagship initiatives under this subject is the Gurukul Hub, a spiritual rendezvous nestled in the tranquil embrace of our school garden. Here, students immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of moral and spiritual teachings drawn from Vedic scriptures and timeless epics.
The essence of Gurukul Hub lies in instilling essential behavioural skills rooted in the eternal principles espoused by the Vedas, Upanishads, and other sacred texts. Through stories and narratives, we illuminate the path of truth, righteousness, compassion, love, sacrifice, austerity, and non-violence, guiding our students towards a holistic and harmonious way of life.
