Educational ActivitiesOur Swamiji believes that Education is a three-fold process- Vidya, Sadvidya and Brahma Vidya. Education that is useful for fulfillment of worldly needs is called Vidya. The one useful for the welfare of the society is called Sadvidya. The education that helps achieve salvation of the soul is Brahma Vidya.
