Sriraghavapuram Brahmaswam Vedic Education Foundation is a great project. The main project is to nurture an elite group of Brahmins who are proficient in Sanskrit, Vedas, their appendages and strategy – a generation that can illuminate the path of Dharma to the world after 12 years of training in the Gurukul system.
Preservation of the oral tradition of Vedic chanting is something that Namboothiris must focus on. Today, in the Kerala tradition of Vedic recitation, there are less than a hundred people who know how to recite the Vedas completely. Fewer than fifty students are learning to recite in different patasalas.
Those who can recite Rigveda, Yajurveda, and Samaveda have many opportunities for MuraJapa in many temples apart from rituals. But few come forward to teach younger generations. Also, there are fewer and fewer parents who urge their children to take up rigorous Vedic study as a lifelong vow.
Sri Raghavapuram Sabhayogam conducts Vedic Patasalas in Yajurveda and Samaveda. In the traditional Gurukul tradition, it is the practice of staying in one place and learning under a teacher. The daily routine of recitation for 2 hours each in morning and evening along with normal school education. More time can be used for practice on holidays. Thus, after 6 years, the Samhita (the whole Veda text) will be memorized. A few more years to study the Sakha . Along with this, children should be imparted lessons in Sanskrit and Indian heritage.
If the oral recitation style has to last, daily practice is required, it should be recited till the end of one’s life. (You should meditate on it every day.) You should be able to organize your life in such a way to support this lifestyle. Such a person should also have a decent standard of living (means of income). With that objective, Sabhayogam is preparing itself to engage in long-term action plans.
After memorizing the Samhita (after 10th or +2 years) the Sabhayogam is trying to provide opportunities to study Vedic related subjects as higher study at the University level. Besides Veda (Samhitha), Brahmana, Aranyakam and Upanishads, the Vedangas like Shiksha, Kalpa, Vyakarana, Nirukta, Chandas and (Vedic) Jyothish are also taught in some central universities. But not completely. For which we may have to build a university by ourselves. Only then will we get more Vedic scholars in the society. These are the ones who should properly maintain the traditional rituals and conduct deep researches and lectures from the Indian point of view, write articles and books and pour the wealth of ancient wisdom of the Vedas into the present society to meet today’s needs. That too is one of the main objectives of Sabhayogam.
At each level, the Administration, Accounts, PR and IT departments are envisioned.
The sections at each level will work in tandem with the same section at the top and bottom of the structure
1. Ramapadam Veda Patasala, Cheruthazham, Kannur
2. Chettoor Veda Patasala, Arathil, Kannur
3. Kaimukku Vaidikan Narayanan Namboodiri Smaraka Veda Patasala, Vayaloor, Thrissur
4. Vaiyasaki Veda Vidya Peetam, Kilimanoor, Thiruvananthapuram
During the 6 days from 30th April 2023 to 5th May 2023 several priests from various parts of India will be visiting the Yagam. Various discourses by prominent seers, Art and Cultural programmes, exhibitions etc. will be held during the Yagam.

Through continuous effort we can form a better Brahmin community that can illuminate the world with knowledge. With the establishment of similar schools of traditional learning in all the villages, the revival and expansion of the Brahmanical culture and the expansion of the entire Hindu culture was possible with the initiative of the enthusiasts.
Funds are needed to run schools- monthly Dakshina to the Teachers, reward to the kitchen mothers, tuition and other expenses. Students are not usually charged any fees. Expenses are met by donations from well-wishers, interested in preserving our cultural heritage.
An institution is planned to provide religious and high quality modern education to the students of Vedic school and girls' school. The cost is estimated at Rs 1 crore. Up to 100 students can get residential education here. The interest from the fund will be used for day-to-day expenses.
