This fosters a devotional attitude and provides opportunities to learn organizing skills. The Vidyarthees are also given exposure to India’s great epics – Itihasas and Puranas like Srimad Ramayana, Srimad Bhagavatha and other great works. Knowledge of Performing the Yagnas and other rituals can be obtained only after studying the complete course in detail for which it takes a period of 3 years to obtain mastery.Īpart from the above, training of selected Vidyarthis in Smartham (application of Vedic procedure to various rituals) like Upanayanam, Vivaham, Seemantham and other functions are also included in the Curriculum and this is known as Prayoga.

Yagnas are to be performed strictly according to the system mentioned in the Vedas. Srowtha classes have also been introduced which covers the performing of various rituals / Yagnas for the welfare of the mankind and the world. Interested Vidyarthis are encouraged to go undertake the course since not many are coming forward to go for higher studies. Since only a few scholars are available at present, in the country, in Sastras like, Vedanta, Nyaya, Vyakarna,Mimamsa and other difficult disciplines, Veda Bhashyam Classes has been started. Such development in the cognitive skills of the students helps them in adjusting, adapting and thriving in all contexts and situations. This pedagogy helps improving listening skills, memory power and ability to visualise in abstraction. Hence, this mode of learning is possible only where the Guru & the Vidyarthi (Teacher & the Student) both live under one roof and practice the recitation of Vedas. The exact intonation and the Swara / Pitch are very important and any deviation will change the meaning of the text. The Vidyarthis are given free food, Clothing and Medical facilities to ensure good health, during this entire course of studyĪll branches of Vedas are being taught only as per the age-old Gurukula system of oral chanting, hearing, repeating and committing to memory. Vidyarthis are screened and Selected at the tender age of 8 to 9 years immediately after Upanayanam and admitted into the Curriculum. Normally it takes about 10 to 12 years of hard work to acquire mastery in one Sakha of the Vedas. The prescribed Sakhas in Rig Veda, Krishna Yajur Veda are being taught at present in our Patasala.
