# Gurukul Guidance

> Gurukul Guidance is a social welfare initiative based in Shalimar Bagh, Delhi, India. It provides **free, non-denominational holistic development workshops** for children and teenagers (ages 8–18) across India — serving both schools and residential societies. All programmes are entirely free of charge, funded by the Trust. Gurukul Guidance uses Chess, Music, Art, and Spiritual Education as gateways to inner development, character building, and emotional wellbeing.

## About

- [About Us](https://www.gurukulguidance.com/about.html): Mission, founding philosophy, core values (Seva, Viveka, Ahimsa, Dhairya, Shradha, Samudaya), and the story behind Gurukul Guidance. The Trust was founded on the belief that every young person deserves tools that build not just academic knowledge, but wisdom, character, and inner strength.

## Programs

- [All Programs](https://www.gurukulguidance.com/programs.html): Four core activity areas used as pathways to holistic development — Chess (strategic thinking), Music (emotional regulation), Art (meditative focus), and Spiritual Education (guided meditation, values, Sankirtan).
