Arsha Yoga Gurukulam
We are an international family trying to create an ideal fusion between Eastern wisdom and Western innovation. Apart from yoga, vedanta, ayurveda and yoga therapy, we focus on simple living in a natural environment directly on the coast of central Kerala in south India. We support the local community by offering free yoga classes and One year Teacher Training. Many of our graduates have found posts as yoga teachers in schools and government institutions.
We don’t use any chemical detergents, avoid plastic and use home-grown fruits and vegetables. Our garden has become a safe home for many animals such as giant butterflies, birds, chipmunks or mongoose.
Arsha means ancient spiritual knowledge. In ancient times in India, spirituality and science were not in contradiction to each other. Rishis were scientists as well as the revealer of spiritual knowledge to the society. They were able to explain the matter, life as well as cosmic energy.
Gu means darkness and Ru means light. Guru is the one who removes the darkness of ignorance and lights up wisdom. A guru is the one who is knowledgeable, wise and authentic and he guides others through his wisdom. Kulam means home. Gurukulam is the home of the guru. Wisdom is not something we can teach. One has to live with a guru and experience his life. It is passed on to the deserved disciple when the right time comes. Arsha Yoga Gurukulam means the home where one gains ancient knowledge by living together with the teacher.
