As the season of holidays spreads its warmth, we are delighted to bring forth some exciting news.

Swami Rama Dhyana Gurukulam (SRDG) offers study of traditional ancient teachings of the Himalayan Tradition. In 2003, Mahamandaleshwar Shri Swami Veda Bharati envisioned a long-term program that would impart the purest form of these teachings to the next generation of seekers, and thus, the Gurukulam was born.

All students will also be taught Sanskrit and Vedic Chantings.
