Gurus
 
 
Swami Sivananda is a great indian master trained and worked as a doctor before renouncing the world
for the spiritual path. A man of prodigious energy and strength, he published over 300 books, pamphlets and journals, bringing the authority of his medical background to bear on the teachings of yoga, while explaining the most complex philosophical subjects in simple, straight forward terms.
Besides establishing an Ashram and a Yoga Academy, Swami Sivananda founded the Divine LIfe Society in 1935, dedicated to the ideals of truth, purity, non-violence and self-realization.
At his Ashram in Rishikesh, he trained many exceptional disciples in yoga and Vedanta among them,
Swami Vishnu-devananda, whom he sent to spread the practice of yoga in the West
 
 
Swami Visnu-devananda arrived in San Francisco in 1957 and travelled for several years throughout the United States, lecturing and demonstrating asanas, before establishing an international network of Sivananda Yoga Centres and Ashrams. As well as being one of the foremost exponents of Raja and Hatha Yoga in the world, Swami Vishnu-devananda was also actively dedicated to the cause of peace and universal brotherhood - on one of his peace missions in 1971, he piloted a small plane to the troublespot
of the world - Belfast, the Suez Canal, and Lahore, West Pakistan - "bombarding" them with leaflets calling for an end to violence. A teacher of great personal dynamism, Swami Vishnu-devananda inspired thousands of students at his Ashrams and changed the lives of many more through his writings.

and to develop messengers of peace. The Course is a profound, personal experience, based on the ancient gurukula teaching system, integrating the student's daily life into the yoga training. By the end of the intensive four-week course the student will possess a firm foundation for teaching others, in addition to strengthening his or her own yoga practice with self-discipline and awareness of the nature of body, mind and spirit.
