Where Samarpan comes from
आदि शंकर वैदिक विद्या संस्थान
Aadi Shankar Vaidik Vidya Sansthan
A full-time residential Vedic gurukul in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, established in December 2009. Samarpan is not a brand that buys from a Gurukul. It is the Gurukul, selling what it makes.
Brahmachārīs of the Sansthan, Independence Day.

What is taught here
Six disciplines, learnt the way they have always been learnt
Veda
The saṃhitā itself — recited, memorised, carried forward.
Yajana-Yājana
Performing yajña, and conducting it for others.
Jyotirvijñāna
The reckoning of time, the pañcāṅga, the muhūrta.
Purāṇa
The narrative body of the tradition.
Dharmaśāstra
What is right conduct, and on what authority.
Paurohitya
The practical craft of the priest.
The Yajñopavīta
The boys who wear one make yours
Cotton is spun by hand, on the floor, by brahmachārīs who wear the thread themselves. It is not a production line and it is not fast. The measure — 96 × 4 × 2 × 3 aṅgula pramāṇa — is written on our own box, because a Yajñopavīta cut to a convenient length is not a Yajñopavīta.
