About the Curriculum |
About Vedic Mathematical Literacy : We define it as the ability to read, listen, and communicate about quantitative problem posing situations, mathematical representations, and validation of solutions. It will help students develop and deepen their understanding of Vedic mathematics and sciences. It should also be noted that in the Vedic system, a mental approach is preferred. We always encourage the students to work problems out mentally as long as it is comfortable to give them a cutting edge over regular Math students.
About Indian Music : The origins of Indian music is said to be rooted in the Vedas. It is said that God is a musical sound, a sound which pervades the whole universe called Nadabrahma. The origins of Indian music are therefore considered divine. They are the first vibrations and sounds which put life into a being. In this way, one sound became many and the universe was created. “THE MANY” try and become one with “THE ONE" divine sound by chanting prayers and singing bhajans. Here at VSS we strive to adhere to the above Music philosophy that will help the learner not to just sing, but learn and enjoy the divine sounds, melodies and rhythm.
