Ārsha Vidyā Paramparā

​A traditional Advaita Vedānta teaching initiative

Who We are

Ārsha Vidyā Paramparā is a non-profit initiative dedicated to the teaching of Advaita Vedānta in a traditional and structured manner. The organisation makes available ongoing classes and study opportunities for those who wish to pursue Vedānta in a consistent and systematic way.

The teaching lineage

The teaching follows the Advaita Vedānta sampradāya originating from Bhagavān Vyāsa and Ādi Śaṅkara. It is based on the methodology (prakriyā) preserved in the tradition and as unfolded by Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati.

The focus is on maintaining fidelity to the teaching method, rather than presenting individual interpretations.

The teacher

The classes are conducted by Swami Sarvananda Saraswati, a traditional teacher of Advaita Vedānta. The teaching is based on a committed study of the śāstra within the lineage, and is presented in a systematic and consistent format suitable for long-term learning.

What is being conducted

• Regular online classes on Bhagavad Gītā, Upaniṣads, and related texts
• Structured progression across texts rather than isolated topics
• Opportunities for students to raise and clarify doubts
• Ongoing development of teaching material and study resources

Ātma Vidyā Gurukulam

A residential centre is being developed near Hosur to support long-term and immersive study. The intention is to create a setting aligned with the traditional gurukula model, enabling sustained learning in a focused environment.

Organisation

Ārsha Vidyā Paramparā functions as a registered charitable trust, with its activities centred around teaching, study, and the development of facilities for Vedānta education.
