Sanskrit Schools

JSSMVP operates JSS Sanskrit Schools intending to promote the study of ancient Indian wisdom such as Veda, Agama, and Astrology, which require a knowledge of the Sanskrit language. The organization believes that Sanskrit is not only extensively used in literature such as sacred hymns, philosophy, mythology, science, mathematics, history, poetry, drama, music, and traditional Ayurveda and yoga but is also the language of the environment. The organization also believes Sanskrit students develop sharper memories and better cognitive skills.

JSSMVP established the Kyatanahalli Sri SiddlingaiahSamskrutaPatashala in Mysuru 60 years ago to teach Sanskrit, and since then, ten such schools have been established. Five of these schools have been set up in rural areas to allow rural students to learn Sanskrit. Currently, around 1,800 students (approx. 1,000 boys and 800 girls) are studying in these schools, and Veda, Agama Shastra, and Astrology are also being taught in the Mysuru and Suttur schools.

In 2013, His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Mahaswamy opened a Sanskrit college in Suttur that offers courses in Alankara, Shakthivishishtadwaitha Vedantha, Jyothishya, and Sanskrit language to talented rural students, spreading the light of knowledge.
