"One should read or hear chandāṁsi. Chandāṁsy adhīyīta guroḥ āhūta (SB 7.12.3). It is guru's duty. Ādau gurv-āśrayam (BRS 1.1.74). Tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum eva abhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). Tad-vijñāna, transcendental knowledge, one should approach guru. So guru-kula means guru's place. So he keeps the disciples to learn the Vedic literature. This is gurukula. We are constructing such big, big houses. Why? We are inviting people to come here and live in this gurukula and learn Vedic literature. This is our purpose."
