Gurukula visit
«Let the lamps of the Veda not go out» — a journey through the Gurukulas of Sirsi
Last week the Vṛnda was blessed to visit four Veda Gurukulas in and around Sirsi. What we saw filled the eyes and melted the heart: few facilities, immense śraddhā, and a clear need for steady monthly support from July 2026.
