Sampradayam

Sampradayam

The Vedas are the foundation of sanatana dharma and this is in Samskritam. As sanatana dharma defines the way of life, various Acharyas have provided the path to reach Bhagavan based on the Vedas.

The Four Vedas are:

Rig Veda

Yajur Veda

Saama Veda

Atharva Veda

The Vedas are an ocean in terms of volume and precious in terms of value and in practice eternally.

Many learned Sages and blessed Rishis have spent entire lifetime and still said, what they have learnt is tip of the iceberg.

Maharishi Shri Veda Vyasa has been blessed with divine powers where the Maharishi could classify the Chatur (Four) Vedas accordingly and present it for the well being for all of us.

We are blessed to have great Acharyas who have the divine powers to read, assimilate and articulate for our learning. Sampradayam is a term that defines the Vedic tradition of worship has been grouped into 6 by our Acharyas. The shan-matham OR six sampradayams are:
