Sai Nandan joined the Sri Sathya Sai Sharadaniketanam Campus in Mandya for his Grade 9. Shortly after that, his father passed away, passing on the responsibilities to his wife, who had to do the dual role. Hailing from the Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh, Sai Nandan chose to study at this University, which opened up opportunities for him to pursue his interest in Vedic Studies.
