Adhyayanam, in fact they are discouraged !!!

bramachari?!!
 Most of us don’t find the relevance of Vedam
in our life !!!

days’ …. ‘very tough’ ….. ‘No practical use’…’Tough
living conditions’ in Veda Patashala
 Social Stigma: ‘won’t suit us’ (social/cultural
background)…’we don’t want our boy to be a
Shastrigal’… ‘change of life-style, dressing and
eating habits’…
 Practical difficulties: ‘Where/What is the
scope for Vedam???’…. ‘How to make a
respectable living?..’ ‘Is it a proven path? Can you
prove it?.. ‘

28. Now Wonderful!!!!
Yes!! Veda Adhyayanam for kids is possible even in
the pristine form…now with…
 Con-current secular education in Patashalas
 Children pass out 8th and 10th class while in
Patashala itself
 Bridge/Finishing School to enable pass 11th and 12th
class and at the same time enable finishing touch for
an interface with the present world.
 Help for furthering Vedic / Modern education and to
pursue vocation apart from Purohityam but lead a
Vedic life style.

29. More…
Proposals are being readied for
1. Vedic Scholars to interact with present day Research Scholars
on various subjects to identify more intensive research in
Vedam with modern scientific temper
2. Vedic scholars to take up atleast graduate degrees in
conventional subjects and teach in present day primary and
secondary schools with a Vedic touch.
3. Research on Vedam as a means of education for primary,
secondary grades initially
4. Identifying more conventional jobs which would be
suitable for a Vedic life style.
5. Vedam a way of life for people who are willing to exert
themselves … and more…
