Born in the UK to an Indian family, I was drawn to the path of spirituality from a young age, but it was life's mis-steps and experiences that gradually made the call from my soul loud enough to leave behind my life in the UK and return to India. Yoga was the path that lifted the veil for me to live life once again in the present moment. I quickly immersed myself in the wisdom of yoga, learning from many of the great masters of the Himalayas, qualifying as a Kundalini Yoga teacher and going on to master Sound Healing, Cacao Rituals and Reiki which I love to bring into my Kundalini practice.

(Our Master, Founder, Meditation)
After practicing yoga from the very early age of 12, he decided to leave his family and friends behind to pursue the yogic path and meet his first Yoga Master - Narayan Muni at Jharsuguda Muni Samaj Yoga Ashram. It was here he took his first steps into the Himalayan Tradition. In 1988 he met his second Yoga Master - Swami Niranjan Ji to learn the wisdom of the Vedas. There he came across the Jnana Yoga (knowledge), which taught him the important lessons in the path to self-realization. After joining Sri Satya Sai Baba's ashram to learn the spiritual beauty and value of Karma Yoga (charity work), his life changed completely. There he learned that he had to undergo heart surgery. That experience made him realize the importance of charity. In the year 2001, he left home for the last time. The decision to become a monk had been made and his wonderings eventually led to the holy city of Rishikesh. Here once again he met the Himalayan Yoga Tradition, but this time to never leave it again. After studying and practicing yoga under Swami Veda's motherly heart, his greatest guru, and becoming a master in the Himalayan Tradition, he opened his first Yoga School, where we welcome students and seekers from all around the world to carry on India's most important heritage, Yoga.
