The Gurukula system is adopted. Presently Krishna Yajurveda (Taittiriya-sakha) is taught. Arrangement for teaching of Samaveda (Kauthuma-sakha) is under active consideration. Duration: Six to seven years. Academic year is from April to March. A prescribed syllabus is followed. General education in Sanskrit, English and Mathematics are also imparted. Besides free boarding and lodging, clothing, travel and medical facility are also provided. Both Internal and external assessment are done. The Internal assessment is conducted by the Acharya himself and the external exam by the Maharshi Sandeepani Rashtriya Veda Vidya Pratishtan, Ujjain. The Samithi intends to pay a handsome amount to students on successful completion of the course in order to provide them a strong footing when they go out of the Gurukula.

Paurohitya training

Paurohitya forms an integral part of the Vedic tradition. Everyone of us is well aware of the insufficient number of Purohitas in our society. Moreover the competence of most of the persons who call themselves Purohits, presently, is questionable. Lack of proper training under qualified Gurus is one of the main reasons for this deterioration. Our Samithi is concerned about this sorry state of affairs and is very much interested in imparting knowledge on the Purva and Apara Prayogas and is planning to start a Prayoga course shortly.
