अज्ञेभ्यो ग्रन्थिनः श्रेष्ठा, ग्रन्थिभ्यो धारिणो वराः। धारिभ्यो ज्ञानिनः श्रेष्ठा, ज्ञानिभ्यो व्यवसायिनः॥

"The learned are better than the unlearned, those who preserve knowledge are better than the learned, the wise are better than those who preserve knowledge and those who take action are better than the wise."

This wisdom inspires us not just to preserve knowledge, but to make it useful and easy to understand in today’s world, connecting the past with the present. Through this platform, we have turned the challenges of the modern world into an opportunity—using digital technology to share the timeless wisdom of our ancestors. AUM Gurukulam is more than just a digital space; it is a commitment to reviving and spreading the knowledge that can guide and inspire the world today.

AUM Gurukulam is a dream come true—a vision born from the desire to reconnect with the deep cultural and spiritual roots that define our true essence. In today’s fast-paced world, surrounded by technology and AI, we often lose sight of the wisdom of Sanatan Dharma. The youth, especially, are filled with questions about our rituals, traditions and epics, which are often misunderstood or dismissed as myths. This growing curiosity about our heritage inspired us to create AUM Gurukulam. As the verse says:

Dr. Ruchi Pathak’s curiosity has always driven her to explore the logic behind the world around us—whether it’s the deeper meaning of ancient scriptures or understanding how things work. With a Ph.D. in Education and a background in Mathematics, she believes that learning should be engaging, practical and deeply connected to real life.

Her journey took a transformative turn in 2018 when she began exploring Indian scriptures and Sanatan Dharma—not just as a belief system, but as a scientific and practical way of life. What began as a curiosity led to a deep, ongoing study, eventually leading her to specialize in Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). Through this exploration, she discovered how ancient knowledge aligns with modern scientific concepts and continues to resonate in today’s world.

For Dr. Ruchi, this journey is not just about sharing information; it’s about rediscovering the wisdom that has always been there and making it relevant for today’s world.

Founder's Message

Welcome to AUM Gurukulam, a space where ancient wisdom and modern knowledge come together to illuminate the path for all. As someone deeply rooted in the values of Sanatan Dharma, I believe that our heritage holds timeless truths that are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. In a world where technology and rapid change often overshadow the deeper meaning of life, AUM Gurukulam was born with a mission to bring these sacred teachings back into our daily lives.

The knowledge preserved in our scriptures and traditions is not merely history—it is a guide to living a purposeful, balanced life in harmony with nature and fellow beings. Through AUM Gurukulam, I hope to provide a platform where we can rediscover our roots, foster a deeper understanding of our culture and pass on these precious teachings to future generations. By embracing the wisdom of Sanskrit, Sanskriti and Sanskar, we can all build a foundation that nurtures our mind, body and spirit.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, let’s explore, learn and grow in the light of ancient wisdom.

Warm regards,

Dr. Bhavin Pathak
