About Vasanta Gurukulam in Panduranga Swami Temple, Kandi

This Shibira is an honest effort to build a complete personality of the kid. This can be achieved only at a tender age below 12 years. The values inculcated at the tender age can build a healthy society and a strong nation. We can be lovable to god by reading a life that he has prescribed through Bhagwat Geeta and other Vedas. Shibira is a sincere effort to get closer to the almighty through our deeds dearer to him.

The main aim of the shibira is to make the participants aware of Sanatana Dharma. The activities here are planned in such a way that it provides all round development to the student. It prepares the student to be tough and face the adversities in life. They are taught basic mantras, which one needs to know. They are taught Sanskrit language which is our prime duty to preserve and know the richness of our culture.

There is some time spared for physical activity like swimming, horse riding, cricket etc. A lot of effort is put to teach each one of the students to perform daily rituals. Every student receives a certificate upon successfully completing the shibira.

Basically they are taught to convert each act of their life into "pooja/yagna". Eg: Snana, Japa, Bhojana, Adhyena, Playing, Sleeping etc. of all paropakara is considered biggest pooja/yagna. They are also taught team work through delegating them different responsibilities. Emphasis is on making each one of them self reliant.
