OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND AWARDS
The chanting of Samaveda in the Jaiminiya tradition is peculiar to Kerala and has been practiced among certain renowned Namboodiri families. However, it has become a fast disappearing tradition in the context of the changing social and intellectual climate.
As part of the preservation of this oral tradition, Sree Sankaracharya University has taken the initiative to record the chanting of the Samaveda by traditional scholars in the village of Panjal in Thrissur District.
