The Aagama Patashala imparts both Agama education and Vedic education based on the traditional ‘sampradhayas’ as in the Patashalas at various places in Tamilnadu. The Patashala aims to promote and inculcate a desire in the minds of the Vidyarthis to pursue a career in the Agama Sastras including Temple rituals and sastras and preserve the traditional cultures of our land.
The Vidyarthis who are interested to pursue the regular system of education along with the Agama/Vedic education will also be encouraged to take up the examinations for the regular courses also. They can prepare privately and appear for the X and XII examinations through the ‘Open school’ system which is prevalent in our education system. Hence the Vidyarthis will be trained both in the regular system of education as well as the traditional system of education.
Admissions for education at the Agama Patashala is completely free and the Vidyarthis will be provided with all facilities free of cost. The Vidyarthis for whom Upanayanam has been done will be admitted at the minimum age of eight years, as children below that age will not be suitable to stay away from their Parents and take care of themselves. The admission procedure will be explained by our staff, to the Parents/Vidyarthis who are interested in enrolling their wards at the Agama Patashala. Application form for admission to the Patashala is given below.
We have drafted the Agama syllabus and examinations for our Patashala based on the syllabus followed by the other Agama Patashalas who have been pioneers in the field. This includes
The Agama Patashala has a separate Vedic Block apart from the facility for stay of the Vidyarthis and Adhyapakars. The Principal and Adhyapakars reside in the same building along with the Vidyarthis to follow the complete ‘Gurukula’ system of education. A full time cook also resides in the building to take care of the food requirements of the Vidyarthis and the staff.
