Sri Shivayogi Munishwara Swamy Vidyapeetha ® – an initiative of Sri Maralegavi Mutt – is an established Education Society that presently administers 16 educational facilities across parts of Karnataka and Tamilnadu.
It was started by Sri Kalagni Rudramuni Maha Swamiji with 6 students by imparting Sanskrit lessons.
Today, his teachings have spread to impart various faculties of free and quality education to children from low-income communities, where many are from families with none or low educational background.
The Mutt thus relentlessly endeavors to present children from such homes with the confidence and opportunities to join mainstream society and pave their way to pursue their ambitions.
The established educational facilities have since helped educate the mass’s resident in the utmost rural and hilly areas of parts of Karnataka and Tamilnadu. It provides Primary and Secondary schooling, Pre-University schooling, Teachers Training, and Industrial training Institute for skill-development programs.
In addition, these institutions host units for performing Spiritual and Aesthetic activities, Scouts and Guides, National Service Scheme etc.
Presently, about 1000 and more students are availing free educational facilities with free boarding & lodging at the head-quarters of the Mutt, and the same to many more students studying in institutions outside the head-quarters.
The students studied in these institutions are in high official positions in various departments serving in the Government and Private sectors, not only in Karnataka, but in other parts of the world also.
Education is the foundational basis that can enable any individual to elevate oneself. It helps to enhance the capability of any person to create a multitude of opportunities for oneself to live with dignity and a natural sense of equality amidst mainstream society.
