Shri Kapileshwar Vedic Gurukulam located on the outskirts of Lucknow imparts high-quality Vedic education to students – free of cost. Run by Vedic Gyan Sanrakshan Trust, the Gurukulam opened its doors around one and a half years ago and currently 24 students are getting residential education in Rig Ved, Sam Ved , Yajur Ved, Vyakaran, Upnishad and also modern subjects.

They are taught by highly knowledgeable gurus like Acharya Dr. Paras Mani Sharma – a gold medalist and PhD in Rig Ved from BHU, Shri Pushkar Lal Sharma – one of the few Ghan-pathis in North India and other such illustrious teachers.

The education is absolutely free and the Gurukulam takes care of all the student needs starting from their lodging, fooding and medical expenses to providing them copies, pencils and books.

Unfortunately, the Gurukulam has now suffered a setback. Their landlord has asked them to vacate the premises at a very short notice and they face deep uncertainty about their future. In order to avoid such incidents, the trust now wishes to move the Gurukul to a permanent location by buying their own land.

Additioinally, a few months ago the trust faced a cash crunch owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. In order to ensure self-sufficiency of the initiative, the trust set up a Gaushala with 15 cows to supply organic A2 milk to use the income to impart Vedic education.

About Campaign

As per estimates, the total land cost is pegged at Rs 1 crore and it will cost at least Rs 15-20 lakhs to build the Gurkul infrastructure. This will include bare minimum infra like building classrooms, lodging spaces and bathrooms for the teachers and students.

The new premises would also need space to house the cows to stay and to roam around – being a Vedic Gurukul the trust wishes not to tie the cows. Land is also required to grow organic fodder for the cows.

While the trust has surveyed potential lands, it needs to have cash reserves to the tune of Rs 1.5 crore to ensure its plan reaches fruition.

The trust fears that it may be forced to shut the Gurukulam in case it is unable to raise the given funds. Please help the Gurukulam in its efforts to keep alive the ancient Hindu knowledge.

 About Campaigner

The Shri Kapileshwar Vedic Gurukulam was established in June 2019 and is currently located on the bank of River Gomti in Borumau Village Lucknow. It is a project of Vedic Gyan Sanrakshan Trust headed by Dr Paras Mani Sharma. The Gurukulam wishes to impart a blend of Vedic and Mordern Education to its students while also making the learning of Ved and Upanishads more accessible.

The Gurukulam has a team of 36 people including teachers, students and support staff. Each and every one of them is dedicated towards imparting and learning high-quality Vedic education. Generally, North India has lacked proper institutions to impart Vedic education and those interested had to go to Southern India. The trust seeks to create a similar ecosystem in the North.

Currently the students are imparted a seven year course and they will be provided a Class 12 certificate when they pass out. The trust in the future wishes to create a graduate school for students so that they become masters of Ved Vidya. It also wishes to launch short term and weekend courses for the general public.

Currently, the very survival of the Gurukulam is under threat. It needs your help to continue the initiative to preserve our civilisation’s ancient knowledge and legacy.
