Mr.Ranganathan,

During his time Kanchi Maha Periavar had initiated Veda Samrakshana Sabha to teach and propagate Vedic Knowledge in traditional lines. I have known that some rich families were entrusted the job of funding Veda Patasalas. VHP had also opened a Veda Patasala at Kanyakumari, I am not sure whether it is functioning now. While talking about Veda Padasalas we cannot forget the yeomen service done by the Nagarathar community for keeping the Patasalas running. I have also known some Mudaliars, Reddies and Rajas helping the Veda Patasalas. Swargeeya Sri Tiruchi Swamigal in Kenchanahalli near Bangalore was very much interested in Vedas and Agamas. The Agama Patasala in his Ashram is one of the few in the Country to teach Agamas in traditional way. The young Brahmacharis in this Patasala are looked after well. When I spent some time in Rishikesh I saw the Veda Padasala run by Swami Chidanadji Maharaj in Paramartha Niketan, which has Hundreds students (both boys and girls) from all over the country. You can visit their website: http://www.paramarth.com/gurukul.html
There are many like that in Uttarkhand. I am told similar Veda Padasalas are functioning in Haryana and UP too. Even though Vedic knowledge is parted orally, books are available in Old Grandha skript for the students to refer. This I have seen in Srungeri and other places.
I wish this subject is discussed in all seriousness and find ways to help these Veda Padasalas all possible ways.

Regards.
