About 150 years back, a visionary named Justice Ranade established an institution in the city of Pune and named it as Vedashastrottejak Sabha, for the sole purpose spreading Sanskrit education in the country through the learned pundits of Pune.

There is evidence from the manuscripts of freedom fighter late Bal Gangadhar Tilak that link was maintained by this institute with Sri Sharada Peetham at Sringeri which was held in esteem as a referral authority in the Sanskrit language or interpretations thereof.

During the vijaya yatra in 2007, the Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji was requested to release the new edition of Taittriya Aranyakam. The Vedic scholars were pleasantly surprised when Jagadguru explained the chapter-wise contents of the book without referring to the contents even once.

This institute conducts Sanskrit examinations every year. Students who appear for the examination as well as the Ghanapathis as examiners arrive from Nagarkoil in South to Varanasi in North.

On occasions, the institute requests the Jagadguru Shankaracharya of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham to nominate a pundit from Sringeri for valedictory function.

The devotees of Shringeri Math, Pune provide provisions for food during the ten day examinations.

 
  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
