Prajna in UAE started in 2012 when HH advised Sriman Ramesh Reddy garu to begin Prajna with a view to benefiting children by empowering them with vedic culture and providing them safe guards in terms of true knowledge to face the challenges in life and equip the kids with positive outlook and universal friendly stature.

Sriman Rameshgaru with the help of Sriman Mepperla Srinivas Ramanujam garu initiated the Prajna set up and formed a core team subsequently with the induction of Sriman Anand Kanduri,Ranganath,Bhanu Kumar and PSN Rao to reach out to all Bhagavad bandhus and parents residing in UAE.

Prajna made a modest beginning with a handful of kids and few gurus under the kind guidance of Prajna coordinator Prapanna Sarada mathaji, who visited Dubai to train Prajna gurus and continues to play the role of constant guiding force. Since inception, Prajna UAE has seen a steady growth with enthusiastic Parents and well wishers joining the divine mission.Today Prajna has about 20 learning centers across UAE with a Kids strength of over 150 and about 20 gurus.
