CAMPAIGN ON HOLD!!! Mata's ~ Sanskrit Studies
Donation protected
UPDATE ON 10-08-2019
DEAR FUNDERS,
I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT THIS CAMPAIGN IS NOW ON HOLD. Two weeks back I received the unfortunate news from the Embassy of India that they are presently unable to provide me with a Student Visa neither am I able to return to India for some time, perhaps years.
I will be closing this campaign shortly, so no need to add anymore funds into this account. You can keep following my story on FB on https://www.facebook.com/MatahArt-1602792279852524 or my website https://www.matahart.com/
Many thanks for your support in advance.
With light and love,
Mata <3

"Life is a individual journey of constant learning, discoveries and continuous development of our individual being."
So is each of our journey and this is a part of mine.
Since 2016 I have been studying and deepening myself further in various ancient yogic practices of which Vedic chanting and performing ancient rituals a part of is.
As from August 2019 I will be joining the Panini Kanya Maha Vidyala in Varanasi, India. It is a Gurukula (Ashram type school) where Brahman girls are being trained an educated in Acharya traditions learning Sanskrit, the four Vedas, Dharmashastra and Vedic Priest rituals.
In 2004 this school had a short interview documentary on TV regarding the position of a woman for chanting Vedic mantra's and performing priestess rituals. A practice that is still today here in Varanasi (15 years) by the Brahman priest community still isn’t accepted and recognised to perform by woman. You can watch the video here :

India has many Mata Mandir's (Mother temples where the female energy is being worshiped and embraced) but very few have female priests. There are also 4 main Yogini temples that in ancient times where only used by woman to worship Mother Earth under the bright light of the full moon. Today, male priests are looking after these sites ... so how come in today’s society where equal opportunities has become a part of the law still forbids woman to become Vedic priestess and worship the divine force in the temples.
In order to succeed in following my dreams as a priestess, Brahmacharini yogini, philosopher and artist I need your support for my studies and training to keep these ancient traditions and practices alive.
UPDATE 22 July 2019 ~ THE FLAWS IN LAWS ARE BLOCKING MY STUDIES:
Unfortunately the Vidyala, Panini Kanya Mahavidyalaya I had chosen that would have trained me as in Acharya and Vedic rituals and traditions was not recognized by the embassy to proceed my further studies in this Girls Gurukul. At the same time of receiving this news, Sri Sri University returned to me asking about my admission in Sanskrit.
At times we need to be satisfied with what we are given in the moment so I am now taking admission with Sri Sri University to study Sanskrit Literature there and somehow hope to manage to get back on my Vedanta Dharma Shastra path thereafter.
As this University is accredited, this also means that this comes with a higher price ticket ... and have doubled my expenditure to complete my studies. I don't know how I will manage but somehow I now the universe has a plan. The total cost for my two years of education adds now up to 4730 Euro which is outlined here below.
Schoolfees for MA- Sanskrit 2019-21:
1st sem (USD) > TOTAL 770
