(VEDACHARYA) SHRI GHAISAS GURUJI VEDPATHSHALA

Spread over a sprawling two-acre land of tranquility, Vedacharya Ghaisas Guruji Vedpathshala in Pune strives to relive the idea of the ancient Gurukul education system. As described in our ancient texts, Gurukul is a sacred place where ‘Guru’ and ‘Shishya’ live in the same house, devote intense effort on learning and teaching of 4 Vedas and 6 Sciences and with ‘Guru Dakshina’ as the only consideration.

Since inception in 1947, Shri Ghaisas Guruji Vedpathshala has been imparting Vedic education on the guidelines of the Gurukul as envisioned by our founder Vedmaharshi Vinayakbhatta Harbhatta Ghaisas Guruji. Shri Moreshwar Ghaisas Guruji, through his hard work, devotion and determination has taken the Vedpathshala a step closer towards fulfillment of the dream of his father Shri Vinayakbhatta Ghaisas Guruji.
