Foundation course on Ramayana for students launched in Vizianagaram
The Valmiki Research Centre (VRC) of Ramanarayanam temple, in association with National Sanskrit University, (NSU), Tirupati, on Saturday launched the three-month Roots Foundation course to help students understand the core values of Ramayana.
Around 250 students from different schools across Vizianagaram enrolled their names and attended the training programme organised by the VRC director and former Vice-Chancellor of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University, Hanumanthu Lajipathirai, and temple trustee Narayanam Srinivas. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Lajipathirai said that the students would tread the right path and follow dharma throughout their life when they understand Indian culture, traditions and epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata.
'Thavaasmi', a conversational Ramayana book writer R. Srirama Chakradhar, explained to the students about Lord Rama's simple lifestyle, crisis management techniques and efficient administration. VRC course director N.G. Nitya said that the students would attend online classes on Saturday and offline classes every Sunday for the next three months to complete the course designed by academic experts and religious scholars.
