The comments can be classified as<br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#006600;"><strong>1. Myth, 2. Social condition (stigma), 3. Practical difficulties.<br /></strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"><strong><em>Myth:<br /></em></strong></span>It is good….Very good … but it is not meant for me…Veda Adhyayanam is not for my son or grandson (Read - applicable only others…!!) ….<br />Those were olden days ….. In fact my great great grandfather was a ganapati/ somayaji etc, etc!!<br />Veda Adhyayanam is very, very tough<br />No use.. Veda Adhyayanam is only learning by heart of verses …. No practical use; Nobody knows the meaning….<br />Tough living conditions in patashala…. It is rigorous, in-humane<br />Vedam is lost and hence no scope / Veda Adhyayanam has no set grades or standards.<br />No body is keen on these issues and we don’t have help.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"><strong><em>Social Condition (Stigma):<br /></em></strong></span>No, it won’t suit us… (Don’t ask me why!!!…)<br />Not definitely for our social and cultural background…..<br />We have no Adhyayis in our family in the recent generations …so why should I attempt this now? We shall be aliens in our family circle.<br />Why should we learn Vedam at all? We don’t want our boy to be a Shastrigal!!<br />How can we change the society? ….We ought to live the way it does…We cannot get back to the old-age!!<br />Resistance to life-style, dressing and eating habits<br />Why make your life stressful?<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"><em>Practical difficulties:<br /></em></span></strong>Where/What is the scope???….<br />What shall be the future career? Purohityam is not the career that we are interested<br />How to make a respectable living?<br />Is it a proven path? Can you prove it?<br /><br />Only owing to our Periyava’s efforts and tapas we see even now few Veda Adhyayis among our community. It goes to show that the practicing the ‘Preach’ is difficult.<br />Most Brahmin families refrain from Veda Adhyayanam only because the only career option after Veda Adhyayanam is Vaideekam (read Purohityam),<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"><em>It is now required that:<br /></em></span></strong><br />We need the will to think dispassionately and think big!!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#006600;"><strong><em>Break the Myth</em></strong></span> on the negative aspects of Veda Adhyayanam and bring people around on the importance and sanctity of Adhyayanam.<br /><br />We need to indulge, implement and <span style="font-size:130%;color:#006600;"><strong>create right social conditions</strong></span> so that the stigma associated with adhyayam is eroded and positive feeling are generated about Vedam and Vaideeka way of living.<br /><br />There are successful people who have done Veda Adhyayanam as a child and are engaged subsequently as Doctors, Engineers, Chartered Accountants, Lawyers, Clerks, Teachers, Lecturers/Professors, Businessmen, Upannyasakar (Discourse specialists), Management consultants etc etc . (Most such persons have been able to lead a vaideeka lifestyle too!!) Though this unique population is small, it is a sizeable ratio of the people who undertake Veda Adhyayanam. Moreover, this unique population have had no formal facilities/guidance and have done all ground work by themselves under odd circumstances. If formal facilities/guidance were available, most Adhyayis can do wonders and many more new career avenues without compromising Vaideeka lifestyle can be discovered. <strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#006600;">We need to make it possible that Veda Adhyayanam is taken as choice as sva-dharmam not as hopeless last resort alternative.</span><br /><br /></strong>We need to take pride in our ancestry, have the will to abide by the Brahmna Dharmam and will to take some efforts towards upholding it.<br /><br />With all this in mind “Samhita” plans to create the infrastructure and social conditions to make Veda Adhyayanam a natural option in Brahmin families.</span><br /></span>Samhitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938623786459218097noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196102796314812202.post-29544353504899084142008-08-21T13:05:00.005+05:302008-08-21T13:30:58.000+05:303 Fold Approach<span style="color:#ff6666;"><span style="color:#ff6666;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong><em>The Three fold approach</em></strong></span><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:180%;color:#00cccc;"><strong><em><span style="color:#ff6666;">Concurrent School</span><br /></em></strong></span><span style="color:#000000;">There are existing Veda Patashalas and many Vidhyarthis study in these. Few of these Patashalas already have evinced interest in Samhita to be implemented in their premises. Samhita will supply teachers and study material to these Patashalas.<br /><br />Samhita will ensure that its curriculum becomes a regular and essential part of the Patashala activity. It will also monitor that the subjects are taught efficiently in the limited time allotted to it and ensure continuity in teaching.<br /><br />Patashalas with a minimum strength of 10 vidhyarthis would be chosen initially. The time allotted shall be 1½ hours per batch every day. The batches as prevalent in the Veda Patashalas shall be maintained so that there is no confusion and loss of time to Veda Paatham (Vedic learning).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#00cccc;"><strong><em><span style="color:#ff6666;">Bridge School</span><br /></em></strong></span><span style="color:#000000;">The interested passed- out students from the Veda Patashala is the target for the bridge schools. This passed-out student’s suitability will be ascertained by Samhita committee. Those found suitable would be counseled about the agenda of the bridge school and trained exclusively and intensively. Bridge school shall be a residential facility and they would be trained till they pass out 10+2. During their academic studies at the Bridge school, vidhyarthis would also be taught other Vedic/Vedanta subjects common to all shakas 1½ hours every day. The bridge school pass-out would join colleges to their liking for further studies. On passing out from college many of these vidhyarthis would be the possible candidates for being teachers in Samhita. Others can pursue careers of their liking.</span><br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#00cccc;"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6666;">Model Patashala</span><br /></span></em></strong></span><span style="color:#000000;">Based on our experience as we evolve, we plan to set up a Model Patashala which would combine Veda Adhyayanam and Concurrent studies in a single place funded by the localities. The Model Patashala would be evolved to set a benchmark for the future Patashalas for not only its course content but day to day administration, funding and other matters of management.</span>Samhitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938623786459218097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196102796314812202.post-9876625279942506422008-08-21T12:53:00.005+05:302009-11-29T20:26:11.569+05:30FAQs<span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6666;">What is the Grand Goal??</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">To make Veda Adhyayanam – A natural course of Action!!<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6666;">Is this a New Idea??</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">No - This is not a new idea – such idea has been existent even from Maha Periyava’s period</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6666;">So?? - What is New Now??</span><br /><span style="color:#00cccc;">•</span><span style="color:#000000;">First and the Most important – now there are buyers of this idea!!!<br />•Take the School to Patashala not vice-versa<br />•Involve all sections of the community and meet their major requirements<br />•Learn from Past Mistakes<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6666;">WHO?

I am humbled by the interest taken by the busy loukikas in the interest of Veda Paripalanam.<br />I hope it was a brain storming session with strong points being raised for and against the models of schools to be adopted. I hope every participant would have taken comments made by others during the discussion in the right spirit. My apologies, if any member was hurt by expressions by others during the spirited discussion.<br />I suppose, it would be right to summarise the meeting as under:<br />Apart from Divine Grace, definite syllabus, faculties, facilities, patience and perseverance of the organizers are going to determine the success of the project.<br />Two lines of thoughts have emanated from the discussion:-<br />There is a line of thought that the output generated from bridge and concurrent course of ‘Interface’ shall/may not be role models to the Brahmin society at large to emulate.<br />This school of thought views that a separate all encompassing Residential Vedic school (Yajur Vedam only to start with) is to be founded. The input (students) to this school would be fresher from existing Patashalas. The output from such a school can be the role models for the society to emulate.<br />There is another line of thought which suggests that role models need to be generated from the present lot through Bridge course, and concurrent study. There would be various grades of outputs from these courses as in any program viz exemplary, good, fair and maybe very ordinary as well.<br />The present lot, if well directed now, will pave way for children from affordable families as well to join Vedam if not from the elite.<br />It was abundantly clear that both the lines of thought were harping on one point. The presently prevailing system has a lot of scope for improvement.<br />It is therefore imperative that we move ahead and start working on both the thought process and initiate an action plan.<br />Further course of action should be – formation of a trust, creation of various working committees in the trust such that specifics are implemented.<br />Lets get started and the Divine help shall take us along…….<br /><br />Dr.S.Venugopalan,<br />No.3, 8th Street, Vaishanavi Nagar,<br />Chennai: 600109<br />HP No. 9444208277Samhitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938623786459218097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196102796314812202.post-73021046810166245492007-12-26T16:46:00.000+05:302007-12-26T16:50:26.844+05:30Feedback from Shri.S.K.Sundararajan, HRD ManagerNamasthe'<br /><br />Very happy to have read an initiative in the precise direction in Education.<br /><br />Terribly disturbed by the present Educational System and after having made great attempts to do something in the system found powerless in front of the conditioned thinking of the parents of the present society has now changed my approach towards the problems in the present educational system. This interface seems to be a solution for the problems that I have in mind too.<br /><br />Education is to make a man think ( not for making anybody make money)<br />Nature provides us with everything, man has intelligently and wisely use nature to satisfy his wants.<br />In so taking energy from nature the power principle comes in the picture creating a host of problems<br />Sanatana Dharma after having seen all these has devised ways to solve the same.<br /><br />On the one hand I am confident that I have the ideas and the ways and means to not only place the vedic scholars in positions which will place them in an enviable position in a corporate set up, but also make others repent for their decisions of not having their children put in this stream.<br /><br />On the other hand, we can also think of making the society rethink itself on the ground that Education should be perceived differently and not on the ground that it will provide just for satisfying the worldly needs.<br /><br />On the light of my experiences with the corporate world, now it is very clear that i can place people in many companies even without a single certificate from the schools or colleges!!!<br /><br />If i could classify the people in the corporate world too, we can find caste system.<br /><br />The lower caste is the one who uses his hands and legs.<br /><br />The next level they call themselves executives, they are the ones who carry out instructions.<br /><br />Then we find the Relationship principle based cadre who can think only in terms of money.<br /><br />Then the top level management people who "Think",<br /><br />My focus is on developing this vedic scholars to become thinkers more than the rest.<br /><br /><br />A thinker need not be a good communicator, he need not know how to read or write, as reading and writing involves practical language which will disrupt the thinking. a original thinker should not have any restrictions or conditioning be it in any form, words or self esteem or social presssure.<br /><br />Definitely we can develop courses which will make top level thinkers who will attract all powers monetarily and otherwise without even learning to read or write. And I can definetely place them also.<br /><br />Waiting for your reply<br /><br />To take this forward.<br /><br />Thanking you<br /><br />S.K.SundararajanSamhitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938623786459218097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196102796314812202.post-5309165402911242922007-12-01T17:26:00.000+05:302008-01-05T16:51:29.169+05:30Update - 12<br />Sri Gurubhyo namah<br />Sri Ramajayam<br />December 1, 2007<br /><br />It is indeed highly encouraging that there have been numerous responses to our vision document ‘Interface’. I bow my head in reverence to all those who had the time and inclination to respond, showing that they indeed strive for the Veda Paripalanam and are ready to do their might in making Veda Adhyayanam easy and possible for many.<br /><br />This is a follow-up paper based on the feedbacks generated, that aims to address the various questions, doubts, aspirations, anxiety and implement suggestions put forth.<br /><br />Veda Paripalanam – requires multi pronged approach and ‘Interface’ is one of the means. It is therefore imperative that all other approaches (indeed important) for Veda Paripalanam are not in the scope of Interface.<br />The scope of ‘Interface’ is to make Veda Adhyayanam to Brahmins a ‘movement’. A movement that would stay to guide and encourage making Veda Adhyayanam a natural course of action to the Brahmin boy.<br />The program and the developments are being reported to His Holiness Bala-Periava and has the blessing Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam. A Sanskrit name for the ‘Movement’ shall be shortly suggested by His Holiness. It is also suggested by Periava that the program be conducted in a place in and around Chennai. His Holiness has suggested a small syllabus for ‘continuing Vedic Education’ (common for all Vedas) at Interface.<br />A meeting was conducted on 25th November 2007 at the Chennai which was attended by few eminent Vedic Pandits, Patashala gurus, Patashala trustees, an experienced retired teacher (who has some 7 years of experience in teaching academic education to Vedic students) and well wishers. The conclusion has been abundantly and absolutely clear that:<br /><br />Indeed any Dharmic way of occupation can be taken up after Veda Adhyayanam.<br />Though it is difficult and strenuous to do academic education with/after Veda Adhyayanam, it is important presently and hence has to be done. The program however has to be highly objective and oriented.<br />Higher Vedic education (Bhashyam, Shashtram etc) as being sought today, by a cross-section would continue. ‘Interface’ would in fact complement them too with minimum required ‘loukika vidya’.<br />In addition to the concept proposed in the ‘Interface’ of a bridge course after Veda Adhyayayam, it is also proposed to introduce the ‘Interface’ course contents to the willing Veda- Patashalas. The course content shall be imparted on the basis that the willing Veda – Patashalas shall offer at least 1 ½ hours every day and minimum 3hours on the non-study days (Anadhyayana days). This will enable an adhyayi to have good communication in Sanskrit, English, academic education up to 10th standard by time he finishes his Adhyayanam.<br />With the advent of Interface program into the Patashalas, it is expected that at a later stage, the bridge interface course can be come shorter. This program then would focus on 10+2 with career counseling.<br /><br />A very structured and objective syllabus shall be put in place with the help of senior Educationist to achieve the utmost desired results within shortest possible time.<br />Dedicated teachers with zeal and commitment to the cause shall be recruited to make teaching effective and purposeful.<br />Suggestions on the course contents, modalities for the success of the ‘Interface’ are being sought.<br />Please arrange to get interested teachers, possible 1st batch students for the ‘Interface’ bridge course to get in touch with us for further details.<br />Any queries and suggestions are most welcome ; please contact<br /><br />Dr.S.Venugopalan,<br />Reader- Sanskrit - Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Vishwa Mahavidhyala, Enathur, Kanchipuram<br /><br />Address for correspondence: No.3, 8th Street, Vaishanavi Nagar,<br />Chennai: 600109.

Now the TN Government is proposing to streamline the pattern of education.(Matric/ SSLC/10+2 etc). Hence for the forth coming students, four year duration of coaching / training will suffice.<br />Depending on the response, viz no of students, the augumented course of further studies and availability of full-time/part-time faculty members and infrastructure availability the duration can be enhanced.<br />The duration for the present can be very well assessed by school teaching staff instead of others- whom though they are interested in this.<br /></span>What should be the subjects / curriculum to be covered in this program?<br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">For the first phase, aiming at 10+2 level,<br />English, Samskritham and Tamil<br />Science, Maths, Commerce/Accountancy<br />Computer application and internet<br />Meditation/Yoga (just to relax the students) occasional, say weekly once, discourses on Vedas by scholars, to keep the students in touch as a refresher course.<br />In the second phase, if deemed fit, advanced courses/applications can be imparted depending on strength of such aspirants.<br /></span>What are the options for the Adhyayi‘s to pursue in the Loukika world apart from Vaideekam such that they are also able to conduct their anushtanam without fail?<br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">Teachers/professors in schools and colleges in samskritam or in the stream he has chosen his further studies (English/Economics/Accounts etc)<br />Chartered Accountants / Auditors / Accounts staff<br />Bank Officers and Tally jobs<br />Draughtsman – civil/ electrical etc<br />Own business of any kind<br />The above shall not interfere with his attending the advanced Adhyayanam, continuing the Veda dharma he studied and at time imparting the accumulated knowledge with the students at interface.<br />They boys to be stressed, while in their stay at interface that they must devote some time in bring up the interface and the Adhyayis by extending assistance.

If not, please elucidate.<br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I accept the view partially. When the person opts for Veda Adhyana, (whether by compulsion by parents or willingly) what is his/their objective in pursuing Veda adhyana to be clearly defined. They have to be filtered at the admission level itself considering your/elder's view. Otherwise, dropouts from the Pataskala which is very high in vaideka population make a mess in the believers, which is the present condition.<br /></span><br />Should ‘Interface’ be Residential?<br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">It can be like a school for which the participant can pay, but with full facilities could be offered like in a crash course. This cannot be free, since everything has its own cost. Further this is for the benefit of the participant/vaidikas.</span><br /><br />What should be the duration of ‘Interface’ (less than 3 years, 4 years, more than that?)<br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">It can be for 2 years and can be imparted after basic Veda samhita is finished in the patasala. This cannot be done parallel/ simultaneously during Veda adhyayana unless those people are very bright and having interest.<br /></span><br />What should be the subjects / curriculum to be covered in this program?<br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">It can consist of English, Sanskrit grammar, mathematics, needhi sastras, Kala vidhana, panchanga and basics of astronomy (not astrology).<br /></span><br />What are the options for the Adhyayi‘s to pursue in the Loukika world apart from Vaideekam such that they are also able to conduct their anushtanam without fail?<br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">This depends on their qualification and ability. Otherwise they can do small business like book shop, investment in shares, teach Sanskrit or moral instruction class in schools etc. They can teach Veda sincerely in morning or evening to their aastikas depending on his time. If they involve in other works, then they cannot concentrate in his own/basic works.<br /></span><br />What are the special skills required for the above?<br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">They have to be thorough in their subject and they should practice truth. They will get everything they require</span>.<br /><br /><br />Would you be interested in further discussions on this issue? Would it be possible to ensure personal participation for discussions?<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">I can give more inputs through mail though I cannot participate personally since I am away from Chennai.<br /></span><br />Any comments that you might want to add…<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">The attitude of the vaidikas could be changed, so that they mingle with normal people who are ignorant. The vaidikas to impart the required knowledge to the grahastas in such a way that, they will come to a particular level of understanding. The vaidikas to concentrate on the work for which he has come and to be punctual in his timings like a professional and command respect. Now the vaidikam is depending on how much a sastrigal speak in favour of grahastas without considering what is required.<br /><br />Further, there is no identity of level of education among the vaidikas. Many school drop outs, unemployed or retired person who does not know Sanskrit, no knowledge about Veda has come to upadhyayam. The Grahastas does not know about this. What they know is a male wearing panchagaja with or without kudumi/sikha and who can speak well and charge less for a homa/japa. These vaidikas do not know to chant the Veda mantra with sandhi or does not know to split the sandhi pada or vaakya in difficult situations. They were assistants for a vaidika and by hearing the mantra in split form, they also become a sastrigal. The pathetic situation is, after acquiring the name "sastrigal" in grahasta world, they don't want to upgrade themselves to be fit enough and employ ghanapati or learned pundits in function under their command and treat in a different manner. So the problem is of two types:<br /><br />(i) To identify a correct person as a sastrigal and (ii) treatment of learned pundits among the vaidikas. Once it is done, then there are chances that Veda will be protected to some extent without deterioration.</span>Samhitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938623786459218097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196102796314812202.post-74557110142078101652007-10-16T08:04:00.000+05:302007-10-16T08:08:37.257+05:30Feedback from Smt.V.Savithri, Chennai2<br />Feedback<br /><br />Do you share this view positively (Partially/Fully)?

It is imperative, that Brahmins should make money – for himself, his family’s well-being and also ‘yatha-shakti Daanam’. Let there be no hypocrisy about this and there should be no misgivings also. It is therefore obvious, that if the means are Dharmic and in line with the shastras, (as outlined in the question itself) any activity to his capability can be taken up.

They confirm that the Vedas existed even before them. Vedam therefore was / is ever existent. We should not/can not ‘Protect it’ per say by having few erudite scholars as ‘exclusive Palakaas’ and all other brahmins being ‘exclusive Poshakaas’.<br />Vedam should/can be promoted in the spirit “let’s learn/ practice Vedam to be the guiding force and derive goodness and all round prosperity out of it”. ‘Interface’ surely is an encouragement to learn Vedam in this spirit. - All the very best.</span>Samhitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938623786459218097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196102796314812202.post-56651783849273135712007-10-14T10:34:00.000+05:302007-10-16T08:09:23.372+05:30Feedback from Smt.R.Vidhyapriya, Chennai2<br />Feedback<br /><br />Do you share this view positively (Partially/Fully)?
