Award : Maharshi Ved Vyas Award
- Teachings of Vedas is a priceless treasure of Bharat i.e. India. Veda is the chief source of Indian culture as well as the foundation of universal brotherhood. There is a plethora of awards and prizes given in the field of arts, sports and literature. However, unfortunately, a scholar of Vedas who painstakingly carries out the essential and arduous task of protecting the Vedic traditions is deprived of such social awards while, actually, he works harder throughout his life.
- Therefore, in such an unfriendly social climate prevailing for the Vedic scholars, Maharshi Veda Vyas Pratishthan honors them with a prestigious award as a mark of gratitude towards their services. For the last 15 years noble people engaged in the divine task of teaching, propagating, protecting and studying Vedas are honored with this award. This prestigious award carries a purse of Rs. 31000, mahavastra, srifal (auspicious garment and coconut) and a citation.
- So far, a number of Vedic scholars hailing from all corners of the country have been conferred upon with this prestigious award. Thus, every year, erudition of Vedic scholars and their precious work are honored by presenting this award to them. This award- presentation constitutes one of the key undertakings being carried out by the Pratishthan as a part of its commitment towards the work of conservation of Vedic literature.
