“The Math has a long history of more than one thousand years and being a multi-dimensional institution has contributed immensely to the cause of societal advancement”
Hostels
HH Jagadguru Sri Rajendra Mahaswamiji initially provided accommodation and food for a few poor students at his rented house in Mysuru, with the intention of supporting them and preventing them from discontinuing education. With the blessings and encouragement of His Holiness Mantra Maharshi, a building on Vanivilasa Road was bought later and a free hostel was started. That marked the grand beginning of the students’ hostels.
Later, KSS Hostel was started in the building donated by Sahukar Siddalingaiah. Thus, he started the dasoha of food and knowledge around the year 1930. That small initiative by him has today grown into a vast educational movement.
Several stalwarts have studied in the hostels that began in the 1940s. The list includes several Ministers of the Union and State government/ IAS/IPS officers/Vice Chancellors. Hostels were also started in Chamarajanagara (1945) and Mysuru (1948). The student hostels have grown in number and have provided boarding and lodging facility to thousands of students and supported their education.
