Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, yoga guru, founder, Akshar Yoga Centre said, "The body is the home that we occupy and it is vital that the spirit that occupies this vessel is important. Imagine if a catastrophe occurs where there could be a fire in your home the first thing on your mind is not going to be about saving the house but saving the people who live in the house. The priority becomes the people who live in the house and not so much the material wealth or the valuables. That will come after protecting oneself. In this same way the body and the mind is a residence for us and this is where we can find the soul. So if we do not spend this life understanding or discovering the soul then it becomes a wasted life. The soul is the energy and the life force behind our existence."

Just as the wellness of the body and the wellness of the mind to have peace is important, wellness of the soul is important greatly too. Soul is a gift from the Supreme Divine snd it is our prime duty to take care of it because if the soul’s wellness is not ensured, our life will be in a state of chaos," said AiR Atman in Ravi, spiritual leader, founder, AiR Institute of Realisation and AiR center of Enlightenment.
