Shrila Prabhupada wanted to offer an alternative not only to the children of his own devotees, but to anyone who could appreciate the need to save people from repeated birth and death.By training them from children devotional service to the supreme Lord, srila Prabhupada began his Gurukula schools.
In our Krishna consciousness movement, the Gurukula plays an extremely important part in our activities, because right from childhood, the boys and girls are instructed about Krishna consciousness. Thus they become steady within the core of their hearts, and there is little possibility that they will become conquered by the modes of material nature when they are older
