Guru Swami Yogananda Ji
Founder | Yoga Guru
Maharaj Ji was born on 14th September 1908 in Madhya Pradesh. Swami Ji started the path of yoga at a very early life at the age of 17. He attributed his good health to the efficacy of the practice of Sukshumavyayam Yoga, an ancient regime that combined subtle yogic warm-up with gentle stretching, breathing, relaxation, and simple exercises. Believe it or not even at this age, 106 years old, Swamiji’s faculties were still functioning at an optimum level. He was very good eyesight without the need of glasses and even healthier teeth. He was a living example for all of us today of the benefits of doing regular Yoga practice in life. Swami Ji did Hatha Yoga in Rishikesh as well as taught Sukshumavyayam Yoga to the student at Om Shanti Om Yoga Ashram every Sunday. Swami Yogananda Ji Maharaj had never taken medication in his 106 years of life on earth. Physically he was very much fit and healthy, mentally alert as well, till the day he reached Maha Samadhi on 3rd January 2015.
