RECOGNITION:

Income Tax Exemption under Section 80G

Veda Sasthra Vidhya Trust is registered under Section 12A (a) of the Income Tax Act with the Office of the Commissioner of Income Tax, Coimbatore under their Ref No : C.No. 1419(134)/95-96 dated 22-03-1996 and they have recognized our Trust as a Charitable Institution by issuing an order granting exemption to the donations given to our Trust, at the hands of the donors, under Section 80 G of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The above orders are periodically reviewed and renewed by the Income Tax Department, the latest being the Order for Registration issued by the Commissioner of Income Tax under Unique  Registration Number: AAATV3423EE19966 dated 15-10-2021 (valid from FY 2021-22 to 2025-26) under section  12a(1)(ac)(i) and Order for Approval under Unique Registration Number: AAATV3423EF20087 dated 15-10-2021 (valid from FY 2021-22 to 2025-26) under section 80G (5) (i)

A REQUEST FOR SUPPORT FROM WELLWISHERS:

Currently the school has three Vedic teachers and about 35 students. The Trust spends around Rs.50 Lakhs per annum towards Teachers' Remuneration, boarding and lodging and other administrative expenses to run the Vedic institution. Thus it costs the trust around Rs.1,50,000/- per student every year.

In the long run, a noble institution like this should not be dependent on commercial organizations and other individuals for its day-to-day survival. Hence the trust proposes to create a corpus of Rs.100 Million to make this Vedic institution self-supporting and autonomous.

The objective is to increase the student body strength to 100 and the teaching faculty strength to 10 within the next few years, with the help of such a corpus fund.
 

Chairman's Appeal (Excerpts from one of his speeches)

Om Sri Gurubyoh Namaha. Hari hi Om

The prime object of our institution is to impart Vedic education especially in Yajur Veda and Rig Veda.

I would like to quote the importance of the Vedas through a verse from the Srimad Bagavatham in the 4th skanda of chapter 21.

Lord Mahavishnu and Mahalakshmi themselves emerged from the body of Vena as Pritu and Archis. Pritu was the first emperor of this universe. It is He who established Dharma and what is called righteousness to the world in administration. He was Lord Mahavishnu Himself in His incarnation as emperor Pritu. After conducting a Satra Yagna in the banks of Yamuna, He addressed all the noble Vedic pandits who had assembled there and He said:

He said addressing the learned Vedic pandits who had assembled there “May I have the opportunity to put on my head the dust of thy holy feet who study and recite the eternal and unblemished Vedas and practice austerity, purity in life, faith and restraint of speech, sense control and concentration to ascertain the true purpose of Vedas. In Vedas the whole world is reflected like a face in the mirror. Anyone who serves these Vedic pandits gets his sins washed away and he begets all virtues unsought for. Ho! noble scholars who have assembled here, may I find it possible to adorn on my head the dust of thy feet throughout my life.

The emperor Pritu, who was none other than Lord Mahavishnu Himself said that He wanted to adorn the dust of the feet of Vedic scholars on His head throughout His life.

So Friends, you can understand the importance of Vedic studies from this quotation. The present day generation in this world, which has the privilege of learning Arts and Science, will be doing a great injustice to our community and future generation if it fails to act on promoting and protecting the study of the Vedas. The wealth we may accumulate and bequeath to our descendants will in no way compensate the loss it will be causing, if proper support is not given to the study of Vedas.

Hence I appeal to everyone who believes in the preservation of our ancient scripts and tradition, to contribute towards this noble cause to their mite. It is manifest that chanting of the Vedas protects the world, rather protects the Universe, irrespective of caste or creed.

As Managing Trustee of this trust, I appeal to you all for your liberal and valuable contribution to promote the study of Vedas. The Lord said in Bhagavat Gita to Arjuna in the 15th chapter

Narayana.
