Master the Ancient Art of Dhanurvidya

Discipline begins with coordinated practice. Here, my students learn 'Chala Chala' or moving archery, a foundational technique that builds agility, focus, and the ability to act in unison, essential for any future Acharya.

The transmission of knowledge is a sacred act. In the guru-shishya parampara, I guide each student personally, ensuring the ancient wisdom of Dhanurveda is passed on not just in technique, but in spirit.

The warrior's path is not defined by age, but by commitment. At 75 years old, Lakshmaiah proves that a disciplined mind and a willing spirit are the only requirements to begin this transformative journey.

Our residential program is a true Gurukul experience. We begin our days with rituals like this fire ceremony, centering our minds and purifying our intentions before we pick up the bow.

An Acharya must not only know the rules but also understand the possibilities. Here, I demonstrate an advanced technique, shooting two arrows with my feet to show that with mastery, the body becomes a versatile instrument.

The path of the Veer, the warrior, is open to all who seek it with a pure heart. I train women to become not just archers, but leaders and keepers of this tradition, embodying strength in both body and mind.

You will join a community of dedicated seekers from all walks of life. These are faces from our Dhanurvidya camp at the Ramanarayanam temple, a family bound by a shared purpose of learning and preservation.
