My father and Guruji are from the same region of India and were very close friends and colleagues, myself and Suresh bhai competed in music competitions since we were teenagers. Suresh bhai has presented to Guruji an unparalleled guru dakshina He not only carried on his Guru's teachings but has also immortalised his presence in the form of Ajivasan; one of India’s finest institute of art learning. I feel blessed to be a part of this celebration.”

Dr. Suresh Wadkar said, “It is our goal to connect with individuals and confer traditional music learning in all its immaculateness to all music lovers and fans, crosswise over age gatherings. This is Guruji Acharya Jialalji’ century festivity and we have legends performing this year. We at Ajivasan try to make each melodic program an exceptional one for our understudies and the gatherings of people. In opposition to prevalent thinking that traditional music is losing its observers base, the accomplishment of our projects a seemingly endless amount of time demonstrates that there is a perceiving group of onlookers for established music as well as that established music holds its interesting position in the Indian expressions”.

Ajivasan; earlier known as Vasant Sangeet Vidyalaya was founded in 1932 in Srinagar by Acharya Jialal Vasant (Guruji) under the patronage of Smt. Rameshwari Nehru. With about twenty-five students under his tutelage, Guruji started out on the musical journey of Sangeet Sadhana.
The institute has a reputation of providing scientific training in Hindustani Classical Music, and the students had the opportunity to perform with the master himself on several occasions.
After his demise, his daughter Prem Vasant, along with disciple Suresh Wadkar, decided to fulfil 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).
The Niketan is the result of a Guru with a vision and passion for turning the heart of the world towards the universality and magnanimity of Indian Classical Music. Year 2017 marks the centenary of its founder, Acharya Jialal Vasant and is celebrating the same by presenting various events throughout the year as a tribute to Guruji Acharya Jialal Vasant.
