Typical Eight Day Syllabus

Being here

General introductions are made. We start with a list of questions/areas we'd like to discuss. These are typically brought down to two-three basic questions: Basic Desire (Why to live?); Basic Program(How to live?). We discover that understanding the Coexistence in all aspects of our living is what we truly seek. We also decide that we shall avoid beliefs and dogma.

*Typical Timings: Classroom discussions are from 9AM to 6PM with breaks for Tea & Lunch. Remaining time is for reflection, personal interaction & helping around. No 'meditation postures' etc are followed.

What is this workshop based on?

‘Jeevan Vidya’ is based on, and an introduction to Madhyasth Darshan (Coexistential Philosophy, Sah-astitva-vaad) — a new discovery by A. Nagraj that transcends existing frameworks of human knowledge.

This philosophy provides a ‘grand unified view’ of our existence. It has a universal resolution to our current existential, personal, familial, social & ecological dichotomies.

Testimonials by participants

My first Parichay Shivir, in Sep 2025, laid out A. Nagraj ji’s Co-Existentialism philosophy for me in an easy and accessible way. It enabled me to start examining my life, relationships, goals and purpose in a holistic and grounded way. It inspired me to attend other advanced shivirs, and eventually enroll for the 6 month study program at the Achoti sansthan, for deeper understanding and application.
