        abstract = {This research paper explores the application of Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture and design, in the design and construction of Gurukuls, traditional residential schools emphasizing holistic education. It examines the principles of Vastu and how they can be integrated into the spatial arrangement, orientation, and construction materials of Gurukuls to create an environment conducive to learning, spiritual growth, and overall well-being. The paper analyzes the potential benefits of Vastu-compliant Gurukuls, including enhanced concentration, improved health, and a stronger connection to nature. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges and opportunities in implementing Vastu principles in contemporary Gurukul designs, considering modern educational needs and building technologies.},
