Vedarambha is prescribed to be performed during the ritual of receiving the sacred thread, known as the Upanayana, or up to a year following this occasion. A guru, a preceptor, teaches the Gayatri Mantra to the initiate, and the latter chants it to be blessed with wisdom. The guru offers a Vedic education to the initiate, which may accompany his general education.[4][5] He is also taught the sandhya, the daily rituals, and a number of religious observances.[6]
