Deep within the flowering valleys of the Himalayan Mountain range, a remote village perched atop the mountain peaks of Himachal Pradesh is the birthplace of Akshar ji. Enveloped by the mystic powers of this spiritual land, He spent his childhood in the pursuit of knowledge hidden beneath the thick snows of these enchanted mountains. Under the tutelage of his Divine masters from a very young age, he was trained in the ways and traditions of the Himalayas. He was blessed with the divine purpose by his Sacred Guru Mandala to be a channel through which the knowledge of Yoga and spirituality would travel from the Himalayas to the world.

Himalayan Siddha Akshar ji’s Pradhan Guru, Shri NarasimhaDev Bidyapati Mahapatra who resides in Jagannath-Puri Dham is a living embodiment of divinity. He belongs to the family that has served lord Jagannath at Puri Dham from time immemorial. Bidyapathi ji blessed Akshar ji in the traditions of Siddhas and charged him with the responsibility of spreading the knowledge of the Himalayas under the Divine blessings of Lord Jagannath. Shouldering the command of his Gurus, he established his base in the southern part of India, where various institutions of Yoga bear his name as they inculcate Yogic teachings into the everyday lives of practitioners. The Akshar Yoga Research and Development Centre situated in the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence in the city of Bengaluru is dedicated to the study of Yoga and its effects on the human body. It is the centre where Master level courses are conducted and people from all parts of the globe congregate to further their study of Yogic practices. Scientists, Doctors and Master teachers collaborate to create syllabi for schools, colleges, universities and various institutions in Yoga and Spirituality.

Having established his Institutions in Southern India, Akshar ji travels across the globe to spread the message from the mountains in its pure and authentic form with the intention of helping people achieve health and perfection, to enable them to live a life of peace, bliss and contentment. Being a well versed orator, Akshar ji is an International Speaker who has guided practitioners from all parts of the world on the Yogic sciences, spirituality, Human values and all the wonderful teachings of the Maha Himalayas.
