Revealing the magic of AKSHUNN, a need-of-the-hour workshop on blissfulness and joy

We humbly present

AKSHUNN: Soak in the epic experience of bliss & awareness about vigorous living,

a workshop aimed at sharpening the life skills and mental health of students and young professionals.

Here, we take the opportunity to walk you through the intent of the workshop.

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय । तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।

मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय । ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

This mantra perhaps encapsulates in its entirety the purpose of this workshop.

असतो मा सद्गमय । The youth of the day are living in the virtual world, more concerned about managing their reel life and crafted reality, rather than focusing on their actual real life as it unfolds.

तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय । We are operating in a world of compulsion, to the extent that we are not even aware of them, accepting stress as a part of life, rather than a thief of our energies. We wish to transcend to calmness and stillness as the possessor of an enlightened mind.

मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय । The overpowering fear of loss, that can lead an individual to live a life worse than death, is no way to live. A life where each moment is lived in preparation for the next, should cease to a blissful living, where each moment is lived in its own grace.

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥ Let us cultivate peace, tranquillity and happiness in our lives as a standard operating condition, not as a goal that may or may not be achieved at the end of a certain event.

We wish to bring discussions about happiness, contentment, mental health and wellness into mainstream conversations, making awareness about life a subject as thoroughly discussed and vigorously studied as any other subject a youth undertakes in his or her academic pursuit. We believe prevention is better than cure, but prevention needs awareness of issues prevalent in the world right now. Only then can preparedness follow.

We aim to reduce the barrier or stigma in the future so that these young people can freely reach out, should they ever need help. Let's prepare them as individuals who would be able to recognise the need for intervention in self and in others’ lives and start a chain reaction for a happier, mentally healthier society, leading a meaningful life.

You can lead the way in this effort and bring about a revolution in the methodology with which we approach the academic and professional training imparted to the youth, our shared future. We are not conducting an ephemeral motivation seminar, we strive to go deeper and bring about a change in the way the youth perceives the world and its elements on a perpetual basis.

We all feel the need, it is time we understand its value and urgency.
