Arsha Seva Kendram is a non-profit organization founded to impart the teaching and attitude of Seva as given to us by our Rishis. The primary purpose of Arsha Seva Kendram is to teach Vedanta and Sanskrit, both being at the core of what is commonly called “Indian Culture”. Our Vedanta teachers have undergone rigorous studies under H. H. Swami Dayananda Saraswati. We teach the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and numerous other Vedanta texts backed by solid knowledge of Sanskrit.
