Vedic Vishva Vidyapeeth (VVV), based in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, is an educational institution dedicated to preserving, promoting and advancing the timeless knowledge traditions of India through contemporary education, practical learning and interdisciplinary exploration. Inspired by the ancient Gurukul tradition, Vedic Vishva Vidyapeeth embraces an educational philosophy that recognises the integrated development of the individual — body, mind, intellect and inner awareness.
