The occasion, celebrated as Mahadivya Sangam, brought together seekers, yogis, and devotees for a rare confluence of yoga, spirituality, and service.
One of the most significant highlights of the event was the formal announcement of two landmark initiatives, envisioned by Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar Ji, aka Grand Master Akshar Ji and Founder of Akshar Yoga Kendraa. To underline their spiritual and social significance, these initiatives were blessed and announced by the revered Jagadguru himself, ensuring that they were placed before society with divine sanctity and guidance.

Global Delegation to Asia

The first major announcement marked a bold stride in Akshar Yoga Kendraa’s international expansion. A special delegation has already been dispatched to regions including China, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and North-East Asian countries with the mission to establish robust foundations of yoga education.

As part of this initiative, a second delegation of senior master teachers will travel in September 2025. Their mission is to train and certify 10,000 professional yoga teachers over the next two years through Ministry of AYUSH-accredited Teacher Training Programs.
This pioneering effort not only strengthens Akshar Yoga Kendraa’s global footprint but also ensures that the true essence of yoga knowledge reaches diverse communities, fostering health, peace, and cultural exchange across Asia.

300-Acre Transformative Project in Odisha

The second announcement unveiled a visionary 300-acre development project in Odisha, a state deeply revered for its spiritual and cultural legacy. This monumental campus will embody a holistic approach to service and education, anchored in dharmic values and compassion.

Key features of the Odisha project include:

• A Gau Shala housing 1,000 cows, dedicated to preservation, care, and the continuation of India’s sacred traditions.

• A fully functional academic school (Classes 1–10) offering completely free education to underprivileged, needy, and deserving children.

This initiative goes beyond infrastructure—it represents Akshar Yoga Kendraa’s commitment to service through knowledge and transformation, empowering future generations through education, values, and opportunities.

Words of Inspiration from Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar Ji

On the occasion, Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar Ji expressed heartfelt gratitude for the Jagadguru’s presence and blessings. He noted:

“These initiatives symbolize our dual mission: to spread the light of the Himalayan tradition of yoga across the world and to uplift communities within India through education, compassion, and service. With the blessings of Sri Sri Vishwaprasanna Teertha Swamiji, these projects will not only create opportunities but also inspire generations to live with discipline, devotion, and selflessness.”

Blessings from Sri Sri Vishwaprasanna Teertha Swamiji

In his address, Sri Sri Vishwaprasanna Teertha Swamiji commended the vision and dedication of Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar Ji, emphasizing the importance of blending spiritual practice with service to humanity. He blessed the initiatives and encouraged seekers to participate wholeheartedly in building a society rooted in dharma, compassion, and wisdom.

A Defining Moment for Akshar Yoga Kendraa

The announcement, made during the Mahadivya Sangam 2025, marked a defining moment in Akshar Yoga Kendraa’s journey. Already celebrated worldwide for its achievements—including 21 Guinness World Records in yoga—this event further underscored the institution’s dual commitment: advancing yoga as a universal discipline and strengthening the social fabric of communities through noble projects.

With a vibrant digital following of over 2.5 million and more than 8,000 media features worldwide, Akshar Yoga Kendraa continues to amplify the reach of yoga, making it accessible, practical, and transformative for all.

Cairn Oil and Gas Vows to Boost Output for India’s Energy Aatmanirbharta

Cairn Oil & Gas reaffirms commitment to enhancing production from the field for India’s energy aatmanirbharta

New Delhi, 1st September 2025 : Cairn Oil & Gas, part of Vedanta Limited, and India’s largest private oil and gas exploration and production company, has completed 16 years of First Oil from its legacy Mangala field in Barmer, Rajasthan. Discovered in 2004 and brought into production in 2009, Mangala remains the largest onshore oil discovery of its time. Since inception, the field has produced over 535 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe), playing a vital role in meeting India’s energy needs and driving socioeconomic progress in Rajasthan.

Cairn’s operations in Barmer have transformed the region’s economy, with the district’s GDP rising by over 650%, creating employment, entrepreneurial avenues, and sustainable livelihoods. With an untapped reserve base of 650 mmboe, the Rajasthan basin continues to hold immense potential to power India’s growing energy demand.

The Mangala field has also been a hub for world-class innovations. Cairn commissioned the world’s longest continuously heated and insulated pipeline (~705 km) from Rajasthan to Gujarat, executed the world’s largest Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project and jet pump network.

To achieve energy security and build national energy sovereignty amid evolving geopolitical scenarios, the company continues to invest in exploration and enhance recovery, to unlock the additional reserves and sustain long-term production from the fields. Cairn implemented India’s largest commercial ASP injection in Mangala last year, boosting recovery by additional 20%, and is set to begin Phase two of ASP injection across its Rajasthan fields.

After the successful Tight Oil project in Aishwariya, the same is planned to be executed in Barmer Hills basin.

Cairn has awarded contracts to global leaders such as Halliburton, Nabors, Baker Hughes, and Weatherford to bring advanced technologies and best practices to India’s largest onshore field. In addition, nearly two dozen global technical experts have been onboarded, many of them stationed in Barmer, to execute high-capex exploration and production campaigns.

Beyond its core operations in the region, Cairn’s social impact programmes in areas of healthcare, sanitation, education, and women empowerment have positively impacted 197 million lives in the last six years. The company’s flagship women-led initiatives, such as Jiji Bai, Maru Udaan, and the Handloom Center, have empowered over 6,500 women through skill development, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy programs.

As a key private player in India’s energy landscape, Cairn Oil & Gas is committed to contributing 50% of the country’s domestic oil and gas production, while progressing towards its vision of a sustainable, energy-secure future.

Kshitij Naveed Kaul snatches victory with late flourish at Kolar Open 2025 Powered by ZION Hills

Kolar, Karnataka, August 30, 2025: Delhi’s Kshitij Naveed Kaul snatched victory with an incredible late flourish at the INR 1 crore Kolar Open 2025 Powered by ZION Hills played at the ZION Hills Golf County located near Kolar in Karnataka.

Kshitij Naveed Kaul (74-69-71-65), who was overnight fifth and six shots off the lead, staged an unbelievable comeback on day four with a tournament low of seven-under 65 highlighted by three birdies and an eagle on the last four holes that took his total to nine-under 279 and gave him a two-shot victory on the most windy day of the week when the wind speed crossed 30 km per hour.

It was 24-year-old Kaul’s fifth professional win. Kshitij’s winning cheque of INR 15 lakh pushed him up five spots to eighth position on the PGTI Order of Merit with his season’s earnings moving to INR 48,00,847.

Shaurya Bhattacharya (70-72-66-73), another Delhi-based professional and the overnight leader by three shots, posted a final round of 73 to finish runner-up at seven-under 281. Shaurya thus climbed four spots to sixth position in the PGTI Order of Merit.

Gurugram’s Dhruv Sheoran (67) signed off in third place at four-under 284.

Pune’s Udayan Mane, who set the course record of 67 in round two, carded a 74 in the fourth round to close the week in tied fourth at three-under 285. Honey Baisoya (72) of the DLF Golf & Country Club, Gurugram, also took a share of fourth place.

Nepal’s Subash Tamang, who was playing at his home course this week, finished sixth at two-under 286.

Kshitij Naveed Kaul announced himself as a contender early in the day when he produced some fabulous drives and wedge-play to pick up four birdies on the first six holes. Kaul then endured a tough stretch dropping three straight bogeys from seven to the ninth as a result of finding the water hazard once and missing a couple of short putts. However, he did recover well after finding the water on the seventh to make an 18-footer for bogey.

After draining a birdie on the 10th, Kshitij, who won his last title in November last year, came up with a dream finish when he sank a couple of long birdie putts on the 15th and 16th and followed that up with a chip-in for birdie on the 17th and a mammoth 30-feet eagle conversion on the 18th.

Kshitij, armed with a hot putter, thus turned the tables on Shaurya Bhattacharya, the leader for most part of the day, right at the end. With the rule of preferred lie in application in round four, Kaul’s 65 did not count as a course record.

Kshitij said, “I stayed patient all day and focused on hitting quality shots. All aspects of my game were sharp this week especially the driving and putting. All the work done in the off-season seems to have paid off. It’s nice to win in tough conditions such as these. It makes the win all that more satisfying

In the final stretch, I was just trying to hit one good shot after another. The winds made it very challenging to control the distance and dispersion of the ball. But I knew if I kept producing good shots, I would finally come through.”

Shaurya Bhattacharya made three birdies and bogeys each on the front-nine to hold on to his lead. However, he stumbled with three bogeys between the 11th and 15th after which he couldn’t recover despite two birdies on the last three holes.
