Abstract
The Bhartiya Āchārya Paramparā—India’s age-old system of
teacher–disciple lineage—forms the foundation of the Indian Knowledge System
(IKS). Rooted in the Gurukula model, this tradition conceptualized education as
a holistic, value-oriented, and spiritually uplifting process. Unlike the
present outcome-driven teacher education programmes, the Āchārya Paramparā
emphasized learning through personal example, ethical refinement, experiential
engagement, and self-realization. This paper examines the philosophical
underpinnings of the traditional Indian teaching ethos, outlines its
pedagogical principles, and analyzes its relevance to contemporary teacher
education. It argues that integrating the core values of India’s educational
heritage—such as mentorship, ethical conduct, reflective practice, and
community-based learning—can foster a transformative teacher education system
aligned with national priorities and global competencies. The study further
outlines the challenges in mainstreaming these ideas and suggests pathways for
synthesizing traditional wisdom with modern educational needs.
