Vaidic Siksha Parichaay - Level 1 Enrollment

The objective of this course is to introduce your child to basics of Vedic teachings. Vedas are known to be the oldest texts available in the library of mankind, and they contain teachings which are ‘revealed’ to the seers or the rishis. Vedic teachings are universal in nature, and they teach us the ‘art of living’ a life to its fullest potential. Right action arises from right knowledge. And right action leads to a happy and content life. Vedic scriptures teach Dharm(‘Righteous’) actions based on eternal concepts. Children need to develop skills to differentiate right from wrong which lays the foundation for a superior moral character and personality. 

This curriculum is aligned with authentic Vedic scriptures (based on strict Vedic grammar interpretations) and offers engaging learning experiences that are based on tasks that require critical thinking and application of knowledge in real-world situations. Instructional resources and digital tools help every student reach their potential.
