Educational Reforms

One of Pujya Swamiji’s most notable initiatives is to direct the sole Vedic Pathshala “Swami Brahmanand Vedic Gurukul & Research Institute” in Goa that teaches the four Vedas, where hundreds of kids are taught the classical texts through a Gurukul system without any gender or caste biases. These Vedic scholar’s accomplishments range from achieving Gold medals in Vedic studies to spreading the Vedic knowledge across the globe. Various vedic scriptures,  rituals are now being taught to the masses through the trained Vedic scholars from the pathshala.

Sadguru Dnyanpeeth is the especially dedicated pre-primary school system for the children imparting the education as well as inculcating cultural values, ethics into a child. The institution aims to educate all children for the national prosperous future by focusing on marginalized children i.e. orphans, street children, children from very poor families and children with special needs. The education model at the school instills positive habits into the minds of the students.

International Sadguru Gurukulam is one of its kind residential schools which includes middle school to secondary school and which centers on overall development of children based on the ancient & most effective Gurukul system. It is the only residential school in Goa with Gurukul style of education. This educational programme extends learning beyond the academic to the social, ethical, physical, creative and emotional development of every child. It is the “Swadeshi” model of education which will provide basic schooling followed by specialization in higher studies.

Pujya Swamiji’s profound love for the Sanskrit language has resulted in the renaissance of Sanskrit schools in Goa. Once inaccessible due to age-old restrictions, with Pujya Swamiji’s efforts, now Sanskrit has reached every house in Goa.

There are over 50 Sanskrit Pathshalas running successfully in different parts of Goa, Maharashtra, and Karnataka with enthusiasm and grace, imparting the knowledge of Sanskrit to over 30,000 students. We conduct diploma & degree courses (Graduation, Post-graduation) in Sanskrit and in Jyotish and Shree Brahmanand Yog Anusandhan Samiti conducts diploma & degree courses in Yog shastra in affiliation with Kavi Kulguru Kalidas Sanskrit Vishwa Vidyalaya, Nagpur.

Pujya Swamiji firmly believes in the power of education. Pujya Swamiji has played an important role in uplifting women in areas of Sanskrit, Yoga, Vedic education. Around 500 Mahila Purohit (Women Pandits ) are trained in Goa by the virtue of this initiative targeted towards women. There exist around 200 skilled women teachers, who have been part of these educational initiatives. Thousands of people have been benefited through these initiatives till date.

Pujya Swamiji founded the first ever Sanskrit college in Goa “Swami Brahmanand Mahavidyalaya” adding a crown in the field of education. The objective of the educational programme is to study the ancient language and to improve conceptual excellence, vital to self-expression and competence in the field; and to help prepare students for rewarding careers into research and exploration of India’s great historical and cultural heritage. Hundreds of students graduate from college with B.A. in Sanskrit degree and have mastered the language.

Pujya Swamiji is known for founding Swami Brahmamand Sangeet Saunstha and Swami Brahmanand Kirtan Vidyalaya, conducting classes for classical music, nardeey kirtan, dindi, and fugdi (traditional folk activities), as well as vocal and instrumental music studies, showcasing the interests of the general public and enhancing the local culture. Pujya Swamiji took the initiative to set up Purohit classes, Bhagwat Geeta recitation classes, and degree and certification programmes in astrology and Vastu.
