Yuvak 

Class Information - 

This class covers:  In the Yuvak class, students actively apply the values they have learned by making daily decisions guided by these principles. The classes are structured to encourage open discussions, offering a supportive environment for students to navigate the challenges of their teenage years. Through these discussions, they explore and debate issues that are important to them. After participating in these activities, they become eligible to serve as teen sevaks. 

Upon graduating from the Yuvak class, students take part in the sacred Upanayan ceremony, one of the most significant Samskārās. The term "Upanayanam" derives from "Upa," meaning 'close,' and "Nayanam," meaning 'to bring,' symbolizing the act of bringing one closer to the Guru or the Divine. Also known as the "sacred thread ceremony," Upanayanam marks the commencement of formal education in the Vaidic tradition and serves as an initiation into the sacred Gayatri Mantra. The ceremony includes the wearing of the Yajnopavitam, or sacred thread, on the body.
