Brahmashri
An education in Vedas and scriptures is unlike a contemporary education. Vedic education focuses on systematic, prolonged learning- with over a decade of oral learning and apprenticeship, under the guidance of learned, elder Gurus. Having learned under such scholars and practitioners, Sreehari Girish Namboodiri is both a spiritual mentor and coach.
Under the methodology of the Sreehari Vidyaapeetam traditional tools are transformed to help with the vagaries that plague contemporary life. Astrology is used to help the individual understand the many karmic issues that affect an individual's life.
Rituals in the form of Yaagam or Homam have been developed over centuries of empirical evidence. Rituals assist individuals in moving forward with their lives, reminding them of the positive, and hopeful elements that fill their life. Vedic rituals are in effect a way of offering gratitude to Panchabhoothas and deities.
Sreehari Girish Namnoodiri’s Poojas and Yaagas combine the rich heritage of Kalamezhuthu or the sacred art of using natural powders to illustrate the deity. Along with the deity the five elements, or panchabhoothas; Vaayu (air), Prithvi (earth), Jal (water), Agni (fire), and Akash (space/ether) are invoked in the sacred illustration. Such a depiction helps focus the minds of the attendees, creating an atmosphere of profound divinity. The poojas are based on years of research into the age-old systems of yaagas, and are conducted in its absolute traditional essence by Sreehari Girish Namboodiri.
As prescribed in traditional texts, Sreehari Girish Namboodiri’s poojas also combine many Kshetra Kalaroopa (temple art forms). Ashtapathi, Chenda Melam (percussion-based invocations), Carnatic music, traditional dance forms, Kathakali etc. Art forms have a special place in deities and planetary appeasements.
Sreehari Girish Namboodiri hails from a highly diverse and harmonious state of Kerala, where the values of humanitarian and sustainable growth for the individual and community are considered as vital. The values espoused by Sreehari Vidyaapeetam are the same, we believe in enhancing human potential, not just for individual development but also for greater humanitarian betterment; Vasudeva Kutumbakam is a core principal of our organization.
