A Mysuru-based institution preserving and teaching Bharatanatyam, Karnāṭaka Saṅgīta and Indological research through the gurukula tradition.
Brahmavidya has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venice, for the dissemination of knowledge contained in the Indological manuscripts collection preserved at the Foundation.
This association brings archival materials into a living scholarly context through study, interpretation, teaching and carefully prepared digital access.
Brahmavidya is dedicated to musicology and Indology. Its work joins rigorous training in the performing arts with manuscript study, textual interpretation and the preservation of traditional knowledge.
Sustained training in Bharatanatyam and Indian classical music for a community of more than one hundred students. The teaching treats theory (lakṣaṇa) as essential to refined and authentic performance (lakṣya).
The Upayukta Bhārata gurukula project builds an interdisciplinary curriculum of music, dance, yoga, traditional theatre, choreography, research and recreation, supported by books, manuscripts, an instrumentarium and research equipment.
Śrīvidyā, the knowledge that bestows śrī, is approached through its scriptural, ritual, philosophical and contemplative dimensions. Study extends to Tantra, the Vedas and the Vedāṅgas within their historical and living traditions.
Knowledge passes through close, sustained engagement between teacher and student. Brahmavidya honours its teachers and lineages while giving a disciplined setting in which practice, reflection and research keep informing one another.
Brahmavidya is building a repository of Indological and musicological treatises: identification, cataloguing, digitisation, critical study, and research articles by resident faculty and visiting scholars. The aim is to preserve primary materials while making them more useful to students, researchers and readers across languages.
On 9 May 2026, Indian Musicology Day, Brahmavidya launched the Abdipūrva celebrations leading to the centenary of Mahāmahopādhyāya Padmaśrī Dr. R. Sathyanarayana. Through the year we hold seminars, workshops, research discussions, Vākyārtha Sabhās and concerts, culminating in the centenary on 9 May 2027.
