GURU SHISHYA PARAMPARA AT YOGIDHAM – GURUKUL
“GURU” is a teacher who steers “SHISHYA’s” life; He is a spiritual mentor who leads the Shishya (learner) from darkness and ignorance to wisdom, bliss and enlightenment. Guru-Shishya parampara has been an inevitable component of education since ages. It has amalgamated the convention of a living and learning correlation, involving Guru and Shishya, and has been signifying the emotional, intellectual and spiritual bond between them.
The living science of education i.e. “Bio Psycho Psychic Science” in our culture has been long lost due to ignorance of the people under blind pursuit of the foreign culture. The restoration of this spirit and its practice in the field of education at all levels is the pressing need of our time. The traditional scientific educational culture can be the real “SADHANA” in this era of Science and Technology.
We strongly believe in GURU SHISHYA PARAMPARA since it has nurtured a dream of molding the future citizens of our motherland by equipping them with the latest and the best knowledge in the ambience of a GURUKUL. This is the sole endeavor of setting up YOGIDHAM which is analogous to “ASHRAM”. Here immense care is taken to ensure the emotional, intellectual and spiritual development of students in tune with revered GURU and SAINT.
Under the able guidance of H.D.H. Shree Hariprasad Swamiji, the President of Yogi Divine Society, we are marching ahead to realize the vision and mission of the society and the trust.
Swamiji says,
“Language of God is Love,
Expression of God is Spiritual Harmony and
Message of God is Universal Brotherhood”.
H.D.H. further says,
“Youths are neither careless nor useless, they are actually cared-less and used-less. All they need caring compassionate heart and appropriate guidance”. In order to realize this vision, we at Sarvoday Kelavani Samaj are providing meaningful and purposeful education together with value education leading to holistic human development and a humane society.
We are committed to provide the students with a conducive and productive learning experience. We also ensure that students complete their studies with substantially enhanced skills and abilities. Our students are well equipped to accomplish their career and contribute to our society in many worthwhile ways.
We are committed to quality sustenance and enhancement.

Principal's Message

Navalben Virani Science College has attained eminence above every seat of learning, and won the praises of the academicians, patrons, philanthropists, bureaucrats, elected representatives of the state and men of wisdom from different beliefs by virtue of its antiquity, curriculum, doctrine and privileges.
Till 1960, the available academic facilities in the Saurashtra region were sparse which persuaded Sarvoday Kelavani Samaj, Rajkot with righteous endeavors to inaugurate Shree Manibhai Virani and Smt Navalben Virani Science College in June 1968 by offering Chemistry as a principal subject at UG level under the aegis and endowment of Virani Family. To start with, since 1968 the college is affiliated to Saurashtra University.
From its early days, the college encountered many tumbling blocks of administration, management, fiscal crisis in its academic itinerary to provide learners with joyous experience. The late 20th century was said to be an era of academic conviction, scientific and technological revolution. Still the chronicle of growth and development was negligible. Hence almost after a decade of its establishment Yogi Divine Society of Haridham in Sokhda village of Baroda district which has been rendering its benevolent services took over Sarvoday Kelavani Samaj trust and started managing Shri Manibhai Virani and Smt Navalben Virani Science College since 1988 with its sanctified ideals of Samp – Suhradbhav – Ekta – Atmiyata. (Harmony – Brotherhood – Unity – Spirituality). H.D.H.
