About Ajivasan

Ajivasan; earlier known as Vasant Sangeet Vidyalaya was founded in 1932 in Srinagar by Acharya Jialal Vasant (Guruji) under the patronage of Smt. Rameshwari Nehru. With about twenty-five students under his tutelage, Guruji started out on the musical journey of Sangeet Sadhana. The iinstitute has a reputation of providing scientific training in Hindustani Classical Music, and the students had the opportunity to perform with the master himself on several occasions. After his demise, his daughter Prem Vasant, along with disciple Suresh Wadkar, decided to fulfil Guruji’s dream of establishing a Gurukul, a place where the music aspirants get the benefit of residing and learning music. Thus, was born Suresh Wadkar’s Ajivasan Music Academy (the term Ajivasan was coined from ACHARYA JIALAL VASANT SANGEET NIKETAN in fond memory of Guruji). Ajivasan Music & Dance Academy is the result of a Guru with a vision and passion for turning the heart of the world towards the universality and magnanimity of Indian Classical Music.
