Managed by the Namo Bharati Foundation, we offer a transformative education rooted in the Pancha Kosha philosophy, blending ancient Indian sciences with modern skills. Our mission is to decolonize education, empowering children to grow with pride in their cultural heritage while preparing them for a global future. At Namo Bharati Vidyalay, we create a joyful, holistic learning environment where your child can blossom—physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
Our Vision for Early Education
At Namo Bharati Vidyalay, we believe that the early years of a child’s life are the most formative—a time to lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning and well-being. Inspired by the ancient gurukul tradition, we provide an education that goes beyond academics, focusing on the holistic development of your child. Located in the heart of Bengaluru, our pre-school offers a serene, nature-inspired campus where children can explore, learn, and grow while staying deeply connected to their Indian roots.
The Pancha Kosha Philosophy Our Guiding Light
Our educational approach is grounded in the Pancha Kosha framework, a profound concept from the Taittiriya Upanishad that recognizes the five layers of human existence. We nurture each layer to ensure your child’s holistic growth:
Annamaya Kosha (Physical Sheath)
Building a healthy body through Ayurvedic practices, outdoor play, and movement.
Pranamaya Kosha (Energy Sheath)
Cultivating vitality with Yoga, breath awareness, and nature-based activities.
Manomaya Kosha (Mental Sheath)
Fostering emotional balance through Sanskrit chanting, storytelling, and classical songs.
Vijnanamaya Kosha (Intellectual Sheath)
Sparking curiosity with Vedic mathematics, creative play, and nature exploration.
Anandamaya Kosha (Spiritual Sheath)
Awakening joy through mindfulness, Indian festivals, and classical dance.
This holistic approach ensures that your child develops into a well-rounded individual—confident, compassionate, and culturally grounded.
A Decolonized Curriculum Rooted in Bharat
At Namo Bharati Vidyalay, we are committed to decolonizing education by centering India’s ancient knowledge systems in our curriculum. We move away from Western frameworks, focusing instead on the wisdom of Bharat to create a learning experience that resonates with your child’s identity.
