Objective of the Gurukulam

Vedic Gurukulam in Chennai was established in the year 2021. It is akin to a residential school that integrates Vedic learning with contemporary education. To help students become scholars & practitioners of Vedic Principles such that:

  • • They improve their own lives by imbibing positive qualities, knowledge and physical and mental strength that comes from learning in and leading a Gurukulam life in formative years of their life
  • • They contribute back to society, globally. We believe the world will increasingly value the Vedic wisdom as a path to sustainability and resolution of multi-dimensional strife that we face in our lives today. The graduates from the Gurukulam will be uniquely positioned to lead and contribute to the Global society.

We recognise that the students need to be imparted education in both Vedic wisdom as well as modern sciences. Hence, the curriculum is uniquely designed into two modules, they being: 

  • • Ancient (Aryan) Vidya – Students are taught about ‘Paraa’ (shaastras) Vidya. They begin with understanding Vedic knowledge and Vedic values through key subjects like Sanskrit, Veda and Saahitya.
  • • Modern (Aadhunik) Vidya – Students are given a strong foundation in modern subjects, these being Mathematics, Science and English. The strong academic rigour of the DAV Group is maintained for these subjects. The Gurukulam will prepare students to write their Class X board examinations through NIOS. This will help them exercise whatever career choices they would like to, in consultation with their parents and teachers.

The Gurukulam will also ensure that all children learn sports and at least one co-curricular activity in the field of music/ arts etc.

Both the Vidyas or curriculum are curated to uplift students’ abilities, personality and communication skills, thereby enhancing their spiritual life and enabling them to spread the knowledge of Vedas amongst various sections of the society.

There is no restriction of caste in Admission to the Gurukulam and learning of the Vedic Scriptures. Knowledge of Vedas is open to all.

Meaning: I have preached these four Vedas in the form of Kalyankarini Vani for the benefit of all human beings. No one has any right on this. Just as I have become present in all human beings without partiality, behave in the same way. By doing this, all your work will be accomplished.
