Sandipani Manidweep Sanskrit Mahavidyalay

Sandipani Manidweep was inaugurated on June 12, 2016, in Rajkot, Gujarat, by Pujya Bhaishri and other dignitaries. The Manidweep Trust requested Pujya Bhaishri to use these premises and the temple located on the outskirts of Rajkot as they remained unused and no one was visiting the temple.

Thus, it was decided to add another branch of Sandipani Rishikul here as a means to maintain and expand the Rishi culture and values and therefore provide educated and virtuous citizens to the country.

The school is run through generous donations and is free to attend for students. It is run in a similar manner to Sandipani Vidyaniketan Rishikul in Porbandar so that students not only gain the Vedic and Sanskrit education required, but also management and leadership skills. The motto remains the same:

“Gyānārtha Pravesh, Sevārtha Prasthān”

Sandipani Manidweep currently provides education to more than 60 students for Standard 9 and 10. In the next two years, Manidweep will begin to provide education for standard 11 and 12. For further studies up to a Master’s degree,  students proceed to Sandipani Vidyaniketan at Porbandar as these facilities are not available currently at Sandipani Manidweep. The number of students is planned to increase to one hundred by 2019. The facility at Manidweep should increase the number of students proceeding to their Master’s degree at Porbandar.

Life at Manidweep

Like Sandipani Vidyaniketan in Porbandar, Rishikumars at Sandipani Manidweep lead a very austere life and adopt an extremely simple way of living with no special attachments for material requirements. They are totally dependent on themselves and are absolutely self-reliant in executing their daily routines, under the supervision of the housemaster, who is solely responsible for their wellbeing and upbringing.  This family environment brings harmony, moving ahead to achieve the common goal of preparing themselves to serve humanity. 

The Rishikumars are well brought up in an environment that is conducive to both their physical and mental growth. Each day is filled with activities that challenge them, helping them develop their talents.

The Rishikumars adopt a well chalked out routine for the entire day commencing which is an organised schedule of timed events as shown below:

The syllabus followed at Sandipani Manidweep includes the following:

  • Sanskrit Vyākaranam (grammar)
  • Paurohityam (religious studies)
  • Kāvyam (poetry and the arts)
