An institution to impart
the wisdom of living.
A newly consecrated sanctuary in Bhayli, Vadodara — founded in the living paramparā of Pūjya Swami Dayananda Saraswatī — where śāstra study, daily upāsanā of Śrī Omkāreśvara Mahādeva, and selfless seva meet under one roof.
A sacred refuge for spiritual awakening and cultural preservation.
Conceived under the inspiration of Pūjya Swami Dayānanda Saraswatījī and realised through the vision of Pūjya Swami Paramātmānandajī Saraswatī and Pūjya Swaminī Dhyānānanda Saraswatī, Arsha Vidya Mandir is a newly built āśrama dedicated to the rigorous, traditional study of Vedānta.
The foundation stone was laid on 10 December 2023. On 5 September 2025, the Prāṇa Pratiṣṭhā of Śrī Omkāreśvara Mahādeva was completed in the presence of His Excellency the Governor Śrī Ācārya Devavrat jī. Today the mandir stands as a centre for sanātana values, open to seekers from every walk of life.
Walking the guru–śiṣya paramparā
The mandir is rooted in the living tradition of Pūjya Swami Dayānanda Saraswatī's Arsha Vidya Gurukulam. Two ācāryas anchor its daily life.
Pūjya Swami Paramātmānandajī Saraswatī
A brahmavettā saint of Vedānta and Yoga, and senior śiṣya of Pūjya Swami Dayānanda Saraswatījī. Pūjya Guruji has carried the Vedic tradition's deepest teachings across the world with great compassion.
A 'Śrotriya' and 'Brahmaniṣṭha' ācārya, he is a central pillar of the global Arsha Vidya Gurukulam movement, bridging ancient ṛṣi-jñāna with modern leadership, family life, and governance through his 'Bhāratīya Sanskṛti ane Mūlyo' programmes for educators, officials, and industrialists.
Pūjya Swaminī Dhyānānanda Saraswatī
Founding Ācāryā of Arsha Vidya Mandir and convener of the Ācārya Sabhā. A compassionate sannyāsinī, jñāna-niṣṭha teacher, and architect of social transformation.
Originally a teacher of science, Pūjya Mātājī has undertaken rigorous Sanskrit and Vedānta sādhanā in the proximity of Pūjya Guruji. Since 1999, she has been bringing the lokakalyāṇakārī knowledge of the Bhagavad Gītā to every section of society — with value-based education for youth and programmes such as Garbha Saṃskāra building a stronger family and nation.

A day at the Mandir
From the awakening of Śrī Omkāreśvara at dawn to the night ārati when the deity is placed in rest — every hour at the mandir holds an opportunity for darśana.
Study with Pūjya Mātājī
Regular in-person classes at the mandir, complemented by recordings, PDFs, and live online sessions so devotees anywhere can participate. Some classes are offered as free seva; specialised programmes carry a nominal fee to sustain them.
Taittirīya Upaniṣad & Brahmavidyā
Weekly deep study of the Taittirīya Upaniṣad — every Saturday morning. Śloka-by-śloka exposition, chanting, and reflection on the threefold path of values, upāsanā, and jñāna.
Prasannatāni Pagdandī
"The Path of Joy" — Pūjya Mātājī's ongoing Sunday lecture series drawing on the Bhagavad Gītā to bring śānti into daily life. Each session stands on its own; devotees can begin anytime.
Garbha Saṃskāra
A dedicated online course for expecting mothers — preparing the unborn child through mantra, upāsanā, and saṃskāra as taught in the tradition. Recordings and community support included.
Foundation of Values
Value-based education for youth and students — self-worth, focus, family, and the "warrior mindset" of a responsible life. Weekend classes for school and college students.
Ethical Leadership
For working professionals and entrepreneurs — a dharma-rooted approach to leadership, workplace ethics, and decision-making. Drawn from the Gītā and Indian scriptural tradition.
Vānaprastha Darśana
For elders and sādhakas preparing for the reflective stage of life — Vedic upāsanā-vijñāna and a clear grounding in what Vedānta asks of the mature seeker.
How this works
Course content — live classes, recordings, PDFs, chanting audio, and certificates — will be hosted on a dedicated learning platform (Graphy or similar), branded as part of this website. Devotees sign up once and can access both the temple site and Mātājī's classroom seamlessly. Free classes will also be offered alongside paid enrolment courses.
Glimpses of Mandir Life
Moments from the ongoing life of Arsha Vidya Mandir — the teachings of Pūjya Guruji and Pūjya Mātājī, festival celebrations, the consecration of Śrī Omkāreśvara, and the visits of revered guests.
