Yjnayavalkya Lakshminarayan Vidyapeeth ( Sanskrit: याज्ञवल्क्य लक्ष्मीनारायण विद्यापीठ) is a Sanskrit–language Nepalese university campus. [1] [2] It is one of the constituent campuses of Nepal Sanskrit University. [3] It was established in 1774 CE (1801 BS) by Hema Karna Sen, the King of Makwanpur and a sage named Tasmaiya Baba in Matihani village of Nepal. [4] It is one of the oldest educational institutions of Nepal and has helped establish Matihani, Mahottari as a centre of Sanskrit and Vedic education.
The campus is named after the Hindu sage Yajnavalkya and the divine couple Lakshmi Narayana. The campus was established on the premise of a temple dedicated to Lakshmi Narayana. [5] Vidyapeeth loosely translates to an education centre.
In 1744 (1801 BS), King Hema Karna Sen of Makwanpur, built a temple dedicated to Lakshmi Narayana at Matihani and a sage named Tasmaiya Baba started teaching Sanskrit below a Peepul tree located at the temple's premises. From 1950 BS (1893-1894), the institution started teaching Sanskrit grammar, Vedanta, and Ramayana. [6] From 1968 BS (1911-1912), the Mahanth (main priest) of Lakshminarayan, Math Varanasidas and Chhatranath, started teaching Vedas, Nyaya Shastra and Jyotish Shastra. [7]
