Aham Brahmaasmi Foundation®

A One-Year Residential Course in Vedanta: Living the Tradition

Certificate Program in Vedanta & Samskrita offered by Aham Brahmaasmi Foundation® (ABF) under the aegis of Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri.

A rare, debut offering at Sringeri-designed as a rigorous “bridge course” for educated, English-speaking seekers who yearn for authentic Vedanta but lack traditional access and Sanskrit grounding.

The Strategic Vision

For over twelve centuries, the Sringeri Sharada Peetham has safeguarded the Advaita tradition established by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya. This debut program is a strategic intervention designed for educated, English-speaking seekers to bridge the gap between modern life and scriptural authority.

We aim to create a disciplined cadre of “Dharma Rakshakas”—sadhakas grounded in authentic learning, culture, and selfless service.

The Three Pillars of the Residency

Vidya
Rigorous intellectual grounding in Vedanta

A systematic "ramp" of study moving from fundamental Prakarana Granthas to the Bhagavad Gita, ensuring conceptual clarity in core Advaita categories without the immediate complexity of major Upanishads.

Samskriti
Cultural and Sanskrit immersion to access original texts

A progressive skill-building module that transitions from basic Devanagari and pronunciation to functional grammar tools like sandhi, samasa, and anvaya (verse analysis).

Seva
Daily selfless service (Karma Yoga) integrated into the Peetham’s ecosystem

A mandatory two-hour daily commitment where students serve as "Sharada Sevaks," providing operational support to pilgrims to transform theoretical knowledge into actionable spirituality and mental purification.
