Rich biodiversity, pollution free environment, healthy organic food and Yoga competency makes Akshara Yoga School, a one-of-a kind center for Yoga learning in India.The sanskrit word ‘Akshara’ denotes the ‘Imperishable’ Ātman, the unchanging dimension of absolute Silence in man.

Yogasthafi Kuru Karmāṇi –‘Established in Yoga Perform Action’ is the school’s motto taken from Bhagavadagītā (2.48). It is chosen for the fact that it captures the personality of India as land of spiritual technologies. Perform action or swadharma (one’s natural disposition), ‘categorical imperative’ and yet maintain the awareness of non-action i.e. Yog. This is the technique of mastering the dynamics of life. This is the eternal message of India – reconciliation of the apparent opposites of dynamism and silence into unity, into a harmonious whole and the same is true for the art and science of yoga.
This eternal message was given by Lord Sri Krishna to Arjuna in the battle field of life tore apart by duty versus ethics. Arjuna reconciled this duality by raising his awareness to the unchanging dimension of Yog or unified field, the epitome of Indian spiritual capabilities.
