PERIYAVA'S WORD
Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamigal's vision is centered on the belief that Brahmin women have always been the torchbearers of Sanatana Dharma and cultural preservation. By establishing Shastra Sarani, he aims to empower these young women to not only excel academically but also become custodians of their heritage and spiritual responsibilities.hat works well on almost every site.
Shastra Sarani, established in October 2022, was envisioned as a platform to merge traditional cultural values with modern education. The initiative aims to cultivate a "dharmic" women force by promoting a well-rounded development that integrates knowledge of Dharma with practical applications in everyday life.
The program emphasizes the importance of immersing oneself in the wisdom of ancient texts such as the Puranas and Kavyas, fostering a lifestyle rooted in healthy habits, and adhering to daily prescribed routines. A significant focus is placed on preserving and practicing cultural traditions, including the observance and celebration of festivals, which hold great cultural and spiritual significance.
Beyond theoretical learning, Shastra Sarani offers hands-on training in various traditional arts and practices. Participants are taught traditional and everyday cooking techniques, the recitation of shlokas, the nuances of devotional music, and the performance of Puja rituals. These teachings ensure that participants are not only knowledgeable but also skilled in applying these practices in real-life scenarios.
The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to encompass all facets of a woman's life, aiming to equip them with the skills and values necessary to excel both personally and professionally. The overarching goal of Shastra Sarani is to empower women "dharmically," enabling them to achieve success while staying rooted in cultural and spiritual values, thereby contributing positively to society at large.
We provide scholarships ranging from 70% to 100% to support women in pursuing academic courses, ensuring access to quality education alongside cultural training. Our program includes comprehensive residential facilities, including well-equipped hostels, nutritious food, and comfortable lodging, creating an environment conducive to holistic learning and personal growth. By offering these resources, we strive to empower women to excel in their studies and lead fulfilling lives.
