Our Guiding Lights
Why Vidyasagar Gurukulam School?
Krishnakumarji was always passionate about children and education, especially in the Gurukula model, from a very early age. In the late 1970s, he started a Gurukula model Ayurveda college outside Coimbatore in the foothills of the Western Ghats. Many of the students from that college are today doing yeomen service in Ayurveda education, research, manufacturing, biodiversity conservation and clinical services. |
In the mid-1990s, Krishnakumarji started another Gurukula in Coimbatore for students who wanted to go deeper into the study of Sanskrit, Yoga, Darsanas and Ayurveda. Premaji, being equally devoted to learning and wisdom, started a Veda Pathasala in Sriperumbudur on the outskirts of Chennai in the late 1990s. |
Thus, when Swami decided to hand over the Kondayur Ashram, located on the banks of the Bharatapuzha in a very scenic, spiritual and peaceful environment, to Krishnakumarji, he was immediately inspired to start the Vidyasagar Gurukulam School primarily for the children in the surrounding villages. |
Thus in 2001, our Founder President, late Padmasri P.R.Krishnakumar, was inspired to start the "VidyaSagar Gurukulam School" along with late Pujya Prema Pandurang, under the auspices of the Kshetropasna Trust. |
Vidya Sagar Gurukulam School aims to provide quality education to the children in and around Kondayoor Village. At present the school is an Accredited Agency Of National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) and also affiliated to Bharatheeya Vidya Nikethan of Akhila Bharatheeya Sisksha Samsthan , New Delhi. We have about 200 students. |
We admit only 30-35 students in the Pre-primary class. This helps to give a lot of individual attention and care to the student. The medium of instruction is English but we give equal importance to Sanskrit, Malayalam And Hindi , and also we are giving classes on Jyothisham (Astrology), Basic Ayurveda and Vasthuvidya. |
Why your children should study at Vidyasagar Gurukulam?
School with a DifferenceWe instil Vedic values into our students. We get our students to fully engage in hands-on activities and projects that help them grasp concepts better - an immersive model. They have plenty of tactile playtime that is vital for their overall development. They are encouraged to respect each other's differences and embrace diversity. We also promote meaningful communication, where students are taught to express themselves clearly and respectfully. Thus we strive to create well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the tools they need to succeed in life.

Education with Heart & BrainAt our institution, we firmly believe that learning should not be confined within the pages of books. That is why we open all our doors when it comes to learning. While books do teach us some amazing lessons, we also believe that nature has a lot to offer in terms of learning. We encourage our students to explore and appreciate the natural world around them. In addition, we promote self-exploration through yoga, meditation, sports, and arts. We believe that these activities help in fostering creativity, physical well-being, and mental balance. We also like outdoor classrooms as they provide a refreshing and dynamic learning environment. With our approach, we aim to provide our students with a holistic education that equips them with not just knowledge, but also skills and values that will serve them well in the real world.
