Write a note on the gurukul system.

Gurukul system was a remarkable feature of the Vedic education. In this system, boys lived in the guru's ashrama from the age of 7 to 25. They learnt philosophy, art, logic, religion, grammar, medicine and moral codes of conduct such as obedience and respect for the teachers. The gurus did not charge any fee for the education. At the end of their training, the disciples thanked their gurus with a gift called guru dakshina, which means offerings to the guru.
