Welcome

Akshara Yoga is named after chapter 8 in BhagavadGita entitled “Akshara Brahma Yoga”. Akshara means eternal or indestructible in Sanskrit; it also means a letter of Sanskrit (alphabet). ‘Akshara Yoga’ expresses the conviction that Yoga – the most benevolent of all sciences – and Sanskrit, which is Yoga in linguistic form and the language Yogic wisdom was originally expressed in, will live as long as the humankind exists and continue to inspire and guide human beings of all races, cultures and colors towards Perfection.

Namaste.
