More than one thousand dignitaries from Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Kodagu and Kasaragodu districts, including businessmen, academicians, dignitaries, lawyers, doctors, leaders of various social groups, media heads, religious leaders and traders will participate in the event.

Today Macaulay education system has taken over the Gurukula system of education, which was once an inseperable part of Indian tradition and culture. The purpose of this dialogue is to convince the society that this Gurukula system of education which had onceembraced the country’s essence is indispensable for the resurrection of Bharata.

The comprehensive concept
This unique Vidyapeetha will be launched in Gokarna under the name of Chanakya Vishnugupta on 26th April, modelling the University of Takshashila. The central theme of this planned university is the resurrection of Takshashila University, which was once a symbol of Bharathakanda’s golden age and the creation of Dharma Yoddhas (fighters for the protection of Dharma).

A state-wide dialogue series has been started in order to introduce the importance of Vidyapeetha to the society and the dialogue which was already organized in Bengaluru had received a tremendous response. The second conversation of the series is taking place in Mangaluru.

The first phase of VVV is almost completed at an initial cost of Rs 20 crore at Ashokavana, near Gokarna. It has been planned to dedicate the complete university to society, in a record ten months time. The objective of this university is to preserve and nurture the growth of Indian traditional knowledge, as well as to create Dharma Yoddhas, who understand the breadth and depth of our culture and are committed for the protection of our country and Dharma. At Takshashila University, Acharya Vishnugupta Chanakya created the Dharma Yoddha, Chandra Gupta and through him ended Nanda’s blind rule and established the rule of Dharma. Similarly, the objective of the proposed university is to create victorious and knowledgeable Dharma Yoddhas and thereby once again establish Ramarajya, the rule of Dharma.

World of Indian knowledge, including traditional architecture, itself is the object of study in this unique Vidyapeetha. The four Vedas which are the cornerstone of Indian culture, the six Vedangas which includes Astrology, the four Upavedas including Ayurveda, the study of itihasa and purana which includes Ramayana and Mahabharata, six philosophies, all forms of arts, general knowledge about current affairs, modern technology, country’s history, communication skills, law and keeping in mind the difficulties that a Dharma Yoddha might face, the techniques of self defence will be taught here. Modern social languages, such as English and Hindi also will be taught, so that the student of this university may not become outdated in the society. People belonging to all sections of society will have opportunity to study here and they can pursue interests of their choice.

The speciality of this Vidyapeetha will be the effective utilisation of advanced technology by experts from every nook and corner of the country.

This will be the single educational center imparting all forms of ancient Indian knowledge under one roof. A detailed action plan has been adopted to raise this Vidyapeetha to be on par with Takshashila University in a phased manner. It will be a millennium contribution not only to India but to the whole of mankind.
