Swamiji's Asana practice 1958 |
In an extraordinarily short time he achieved mastery of 500 Yoga Asanas,
100 pranayamas and all the important kriyas, bandhas and mudras associated with Kundalini Yoga. Through the practice of Raja
Yoga and Gyana Yoga he attained deep and profound realization of many levels of being and consciousness.
His inner experience led to mystically inspired poetry which reflect his
love of divinity. His poetry has until this time been published only in Hindi. His volumes of poetry; a trilogy entitled Sangam
(confluence) and a book called Hridayangam (enshrined in the heart) have been widely admired throughout India by spiritual
leaders and literary masters. They have praised the esoteric quality and high mysticism expressed by his poems.
In 1960 Swamiji established the International Yogant Academy in Swargashram
in Rishikesh in a beautiful and secluded jungle area overlooking the Ganges. Since then he has been dedicating his life to
awakening superconsciousness in spiritual aspirants from all parts of the world and teaching all aspects of Yoga. His techings
emphasize the importance of balancing the body through Hatha Yoga and ECO Therapy, Clarifying the mind through study of sacred
texts and meditation and purifying the heart through devotional practices. By these methods a person can experience the true
enjoyment of the senses the attainment of mental peace and the realization of the ecstatic bliss of the Self.
