SAKSHI Trust

Sri Aurobindo Kapali Shastry Institute of Vedic Culture is a spiritual Organisation. Established in 1997, the aim is to spread the message of the Veda and Sri Aurobindo, which imbibes awareness to lead beautiful, harmonious, creative and a happy life, individually and collectively.

Our Inspiration

The Institute “SAKSHI” was started in 1997 with the aim of disseminating the wisdom in the ancient Veda Samhita and related books such as Upanishads.

SAKSHI draws its inspiration from the great spiritual savants and scholars, Sri Aurobindo, The Mother (1878 – 1973), Sri Kapali Shastry and Sri Madhav Pandit (1918 – 1993). Their well-known books emphasize the need for harmonizing both the “spiritual” and “worldly” aspects of our life.

We have to take seriously the notions, “All is Brahman” and “All life is Yoga”. We should become conscious of every act or thought in us so that we can indeed lead a beautiful and harmonious life.

In Rig Veda 1.1.1 Agni is called Ratnadha, the bearer of Ratna

Here, Ratna is not gems or jewelry but bliss

Ratna comes from the seed sound Ram 

Other words that spring from Ram are Radhas, Rayi, Aradhana, which signify the bliss of spiritual experience and realization 

Incidentally, Ram is also the Beeja mantra which signifies Agni and is the potent seed sound of the Manipura Chakra. It is used to awaken personal power, willpower and internal transformation. The Ram Beeja can be seen as the coming together of three energy units, Ra-, a- and m (Bindu) which signify the element of fire and purity, the waking state and upward movement of energy respectively
