In profound meditations the mind melts into a shining inner space of pure Awareness, and dissolves in the all-pervading Existence of chit-akasha. Akasha also refers to Ether, the most refined of the five classical elements, which is similar to Aristotle’s Quintessence.

The Sanskrit term Yoga means to yoke or to unite, and refers to the union of individual and universe. The first reference to Yoga as a practice for spiritual Awakening is be found in the Taittiriya Upanishad (around 500 BC).

An Academy is an educational community of practitioners, scholars, and students committed to the development and transmission of knowledge. The Greek term “Akademia” refers to a sacred place in which the ancient philosopher Plato (428–347 BC) transmitted his profound teachings.
