Akshaya is Sanskrit for “undecaying” or “imperishable,” and the name was chosen “to signify [that] human compassion should never decay or perish. …” Third Eye dancers decided to organize a fundraiser for Akshaya Trust having witnessed Mr. Krishnan’s commitment to ‘helping the helpless’. The event was conducted on May 29th 2010 at the New Dawn Theatre , Duluth partnering with Bharathakala Naatya Academy.
