2. **Textual Study**: Systematic lectures and readings from Patanjali (Yoga Sutras), Adi Shankara (Advaita Vedanta), Swami Vivekananda (Synthesis of Yoga), the Bhagavad Gita, and Buddhist origins at Sarnath.
3. **Living Culture**: Daily sunrise and sunset Ganga Aarti ceremonies, authentic Puja and Mandir Darshana, guided by resident scholars.
