About Ajivasan 

Ajivasan, earlier known as Vasant Sangeet Vidyalay, had repute for providing scientific training in Hindustani Classical Music and the students had the opportunity to perform with the master himself on several occasions. After the sad demise of Guruji Acharya Jialal Vasant, his daughter Prem Vasant, along with his disciple Suresh Wadkar, decided to fulfill 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). Beside the main academy in Juhu, the institute today has 08 branches in Mumbai and one in Dubai. The Mumbai branches include Thane, Kandivali, Prabhadevi, Kemps Corner, Powai, Ghatkopar, Chembur and Bandra. Over 400 students are provided training in Hindustani & Western Classical Vocals, Instrumental as well as in popular classical dance forms like Kathak and Bharatnatyam under the guidance of experienced teachers.
