Raghavapuram Sabhayogyam is a Vedic educational organization in Kerela dedicated to teaching and disseminating traditional Vedic education to students of traditional priestly families. Their goal is to create an elite group of Vedic scholar-practitioners and future generation of trained Vedic teachers. They run 4 traditional Vedic schools that are teaching Yajurveda and Sāmaveda to select group of students. Currently they have 27 students who are getting trained in the oral recitation of the Vedic corpus, along with textual studies of other dharmic text. Along with running the Vedic schools, the Raghavapuram Sabhayogyam also runs multiple initiatives which includes environmental preservation, charitable work for elderly, running cow shelters, etc.

Tattva Heritage Foundation has made a grant to Raghavapuram Sabhayogyam for the running of the Vedic pataśālas. While the Yajurveda tradition especially the Taittrīya Śākhā is flourishing, the lineage of transmission for the Sāmaveda tradition has trickled to a few people who are still maintaining the oral recitation of this ancient tradition. Part of the fund granted by Tattva Heritage Foundation will also be used to support the Sāmvedic veda pataśālas.

Tattva Heritage Foundation is committed to supporting individuals and organisation who are trying to revive and promote the venerable Vedic tradition.
