Every year, the academic calendar year at Vedika Gurukula begins on January 14th with ritual worship of Sun and Saraswati the goddess of learning, and homage paid to Vedika’s Lineage masters. This is the day every year when the Sun starts on its Northerly course; which according to the Ayurvedic tradition is an auspicious start date for new studies.
