About This Cause

International Schools of East-West Unity Gurukula Inc. (ISEWU) is a not-for-profit organization located in Monroe, New York, founded in 1993.

The School of Dance provides the students with an opportunity to achieve a deeper understanding and harmony between East and West for cultural and spiritual enrichment, integrating traditional and modern values through education in the universal language of dance.

The School of Sanskrit language is taught using the unique, interactive method developed by the founder, emphasizing melodious chanting. Included is grammar and study of the ancient texts that are the basis of the universal Yoga philosophy, to facilitate a more direct access to the ancient knowledge.
