Vaidic-Thanthric Vidyapeetam
Study and research in Veda, Thanthra, Jyothishyam and Sanskrit, at the Narayaneeyam campus in Ballapadavu.
Since 23 February 2014
A centre for Vaidic and Thanthric study
Having established its music school at Perla, the Prathishtanam extended its interest towards studies and research related to Vaidic and Thanthric vidya. As another milestone, the Vaidic-Thanthric Vidyapeetam was established under the Prathishtanam on 23 February 2014, and inaugurated by Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharathi Theertha Mahaswamiji of Sri Sharadapeetam, Sringeri.
It was founded so that the richness of the Vedas is retained, protected and passed on in its original form — a place for study and research, not for recitation alone. Four subjects are taken up here: Veda, Thanthra, Jyothishyam and Sanskrit.
Classes run for about twenty hours each month for interested students, at the Narayaneeyam Music Campus in Ballapadavu. Eminent persons in the field have given their valuable guidance to what remains a singular centre for Vaidic and Thanthric studies in north Kerala.

The language that carries the Veda, the Thanthra and the Carnatic repertoire alike.
Thanthra and Manthra vidya
Guided by eminent thanthris
Thanthra and Manthra vidya are taught here under the guidance of Brahmashri Mullappalli Krishnan Namboodiri, Working President of Thanthravidyapeetam, Aluva. Brahmashri K. Eshanan Namboodiri, Brahmashri Krishnan Namboodiri Marthandam and Brahmashri Krishnadas are among the Vidyapeetam’s vaidic faculty.
The Prathishtanam has thus been putting a large effort into popularising and upgrading music, the Vedas, Thanthra, Jyothishyam and Sanskrit alike — and its Veda, Nada and Yoga gatherings bring the two Vidyapeetams onto one platform.
