Aum Academy

You’ll find Aum Academy over in the Jalaram Complex in Karelibaug. We actually have two units, 105 and 106, which we use for our different sessions. Being right near the Jalaram Mandir is a big help because everyone knows the temple and it makes giving directions very easy. You can often hear the morning and evening prayers if the windows are open. It gives the place a nice, calm feeling. The rooms are fairly standard with simple desks and chairs. We haven't spent much on making it look like a corporate office because that’s not really who we are. It’s a local academy where we know most of the families who send their children here. We have a small corner where we keep all the registers and some basic supplies. The floors are tiled and we try to keep things neat, but it’s a busy place so there’s usually some clutter of books and bags. It’s a very practical setup. We don't have any big signs on the wall or anything like that. We just show up every day, open the shutters, and start the lessons. Most people in the neighborhood just walk over since it’s so central. It’s been a steady part of the community for a few years now, and we like the way things are going without needing to be too flashy or complicated for the people who come here.
