"VISAKHAPATNAM: Every morning, the town of Yelamanchili in Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh wakes up to the sublime strains of ‘Suprabhatam’ from the town’s unique Veda Vidyalayam.
No one bothers to look up the clock — they know it has to be 5:00 a.m., and the soothing wake-up call is followed by the chanting of Vedic hymns by the young choristers of the Vidyalaya.
Throughout the day, the sonorous mantras emanating from the Vedic school envelope the neighbourhood with a mystic aura. This school of Vedic learning is part of the efforts aimed at preserving the hoary tradition. Quietly lending a helping hand are some senior citizens whose endeavour goes by the name of Gayatri Seva Trust."
