[HistoryVibes-Documentaries]

Indian Civilization is one of the most ancient civilizations in this world. It is to our credit that despite the innumerable invasions and destruction that our country has been subjected to over many centuries, we have managed to retain the main fabric of our national culture. India is a spiritually evolved and sacred land where rishis and munis have meditated since ages. Our land has been full of ashrams and gurukuls where divine values and ideals were nurtured in young minds. Acharyas who were realized souls, were in charge of the education of the young children. Children stayed and learnt with the Acharyas in Gurukuls.
