COURSE CURRICULUM

    At the patasala, students are taught the Vedas from its basic level to Krama in a span of eight years. At this stage, they are conferred the title “ Kramapaati ”.

    Those Kramapaatis who opt for advanced studies are taught “Jata” and “Ghanam” for a further period of two years and they are conferred the title  “Ghanapaati”.

    Such Ghanapaatis can pursue a more advanced course in the Vedas, outside our institution to become “Salakshana Ghanapaati”, which is the ultimate title in this discipline of education.

    In our institution, we impart fastidious training to students to retain the original sounds of the mantras.
