The Guru-Shishya Parampara: The Sacred Bond

Dhanurvidya is not learned from books; it is transmitted from Guru to Shishya (disciple). This sacred relationship, built on respect, devotion, and personalized guidance, is the cornerstone of my teaching philosophy and ensures the authentic preservation of this art.

Ayudha Puja: Reverence for the Art

At the ISODHAN Gurukulam, we honor our tools as extensions of our intent and discipline. The Ayudha Puja is a significant ceremony where we show reverence for our bows, arrows, and swords, acknowledging their sacred role in the practice of Dhanurveda.
