YOGA is an ancient Sanscrit word which, in only two syllables, encompasses the entire body of spiritual experience and experiments of tens of thousands of Realised Masters.

"These Masters have discovered the Ultimate Reality, Sat (Truth) and in their infinite Karuna (compassion), have carefully marked a path for others to follow."

The Upanishads exclaim: "Lo! Ye who suffer now, A way has been found! A way out of all this darkness" That way is YOGA!

 Purpose of This Website

In a world (Kali Yuga) which is getting increasingly immersed in Maya, materialism, superficiality and the gross, even the ancient science of Yoga is being diluted to accommodate the superficial.

Yogamaster is a humble attempt to lead sincere seekers of truth and reality back to the roots of Yoga, where the great Yoga Masters provide guidance and light on their path.
