Fundamental Guidelines
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam
(Spirit of Oneness)
We are all One! QLU is a place for all! Here, we do not distinguish people on the basis of caste, creed, religion, race, gender or anything that is divisive. Let’s connect with everyone in a spirit of oneness and practice being inclusive.
Dress Code
Please do not wear any tight-fitting or revealing clothes. Ensure your clothing covers your shoulders and extends down to your ankles. Avoid low-cut necklines, sleeveless tops, shorts, and transparent garments. Clothing should be modest, respectful,
Mutual Respect
At QLU, we greet each other with namaste instead of shaking hands or hugs. Let's maintain the same with the masters.
Be mindful of your speech
Talk only when necessary. If disagreements arise, talk it out peacefully to find a resolution.
Be Non-judgmental
Be open-minded and understanding in your interactions. Avoid criticism and judgement.
Enjoy moments of silence
The less we talk, the more we learn and receive. During the breaks, take time to be quiet and reflect without distractions.
Treat everyone kindly
Show respect and kindness to fellow participants, volunteers, campus team members and staff.
Silent Zone Hours
The campus is designated as a silent zone from 9 PM to 6 AM. Please maintain silence during these hours.

Dining Hall Guidelines
Take only as much as you can comfortably eat. This will help to stay active for the next session and reduces food wastage.
Please maintain cleanliness. Clean up the place after you finish so that it's ready for the next person.
Most importantly, while eating, savor each bite with utmost gratitude.
Throw the waste only in the trash cans and not in the wash basins.
Wash the utensils neatly after use, just the way we would like at home, and keep them organized in their rightful places.
