Sri Gopala Deekshidhar Vedha Rakshana Trust
The mission of Sri Gopala Deekshidhar Vedha Rakshana Trust is to help vedha patasala in various ways. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN# 83-1797252) operated exclusively for charitable purposes, specifically to protect, preserve and propagate Vedhic knowledge, Vedhic Culture and its values and pass it on to the next generation.
Introduction
According to Sri. Maha Periyava, Vedha rakshana is the profound duty of each Hindu. Vedas preach about the general well being of the society and have been in practice from the days of yore. Recitation and hearing of Vedas purifies us and are invaluable for the material & spiritual wellbeing of the world.
Sri Gopala Deekshidhar Vedha Rakshana Trust, established in the USA in 2018 and India in 2024, has been dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage of Vedic education. Our institution is committed to providing a comprehensive curriculum that not only includes traditional Vedic texts but also imparts moral and ethical values to our students. As we continue our mission, we seek financial support to enhance our facilities, expand our outreach programs, and ensure that the ancient wisdom of the Vedas is passed down to future generations.
In May 2024 we started running a Veda Patasalai in Kandamangalam Village, Via Thirukattupalli, Thanjavur District, Tamilnadu 613104. Our curriculum focuses on Vedic scriptures, Sanskrit, and related disciplines. We aim to cultivate a deep understanding of Vedic philosophy and practices among our students, empowering them to become responsible and knowledgeable members of society.
Sri Chaturveda Vidhya Ganapathy Veda Shastra Maha Vidhysthan, Athur, Tamil Nadu, the largest Veda Patasala in Tamil Nadu is managing the education administration of our patasala.
