Avadhana Saraswathi Peetham
Dr. Madugula Nagaphani Sarma, recognizing the need to preserve and pass on the rare art of Avadhanam, established the “Avadhana Saraswathi Peetham” in 1995. This endeavor aimed not only to safeguard and propagate the knowledge of Indian culture, Vedic traditions, and memory power but also to serve as a spiritual destination for Vdevotees from around the world. Situated in Hitech City, Hyderabad, the Peetham encompasses a temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswathi – goddess of learning, one of the few exclusive shrines in Telangana devoted to the deity. Each year, devotees flock to the Peetham during the auspicious occasions of Moola Nakshatra and Sri Panchami, seeking the blessings of the Goddess. Believers hold a deep faith in the presiding deity and seek her divine grace for personal progress and well-being
The Peetham serves as a platform for various rituals and ceremonies conducted by Guruji himself, affectionately known as “Saraswathi Putra.” These include Aksharabhyasam (initiation of education) and BeejaksharaLekhanam (writing of sacred syllables), symbolizing the initiation of spiritual and educational journeys. Additionally, the Peetham houses a “Goshala ” that provides care and shelter to about 100 indigenous cows, further promoting reverence for animals and environmental sustainability. Functioning as a cultural center, the Peetham embodies the values and traditions of Sanatana Dharma, attracting visitors from diverse backgrounds who seek to experience the preservation of spiritual life nurtured by Guruji. It serves as a beacon for the preservation and dissemination of Avadhanam, Poetry, Literature, Indian languages and heritage, and the profound wisdom of the ancients.
