SHREE GANESH VEDPATHSHALA
As Modern India stands tall...
let us not forget our roots!
The Vedas are the original scriptures of Hindu teachings ( culture), and contain spiritual knowledge encompassing all aspects of our life.
Vedic literature with its philosophical maxims has stood the test of time and is even more relevant today, with the ever growing complexities of an uncertain changing world. For the sake of our future generations, it is imperative that the tradition of Vedic studies be reinvigorated.
The need for reactivation of Vedic Studies
The need for reactivation of Vedic Studies
For generations, the knowledge of the Vedas has been handed down by gurus to their shishyas by word of mouth. Even at the time of India’s independence, many DashGranthi Brahmins –scholars of the ten holy books of Vedic Studies – were imparting Vedic education, even in a small town like Deorukh in Maharashtra.
Sadly, their number is rapidly declining. As a result this immense body of knowledge is in danger of being lost to future generations.

His breath became fragrant and from this fragrance emerged a cow. The Lord aptly named her Surabhi. Blessed by Lord Brahma, Surabhi became and dwelled in a heaven of her own called GO-LOK. Her daughters reside in Go-Shalas on earth. Ved-Pathshala has its own Go-Shala, since all Vedic rituals need cow’s milk, curd, ghee and urine. As part of self reliance, students are taught to look after the cows including milking them. Soon the Ved-Pathshala plans to produce products from cow dunk and urine.
