About the Artist

Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri.

1906-1993

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."

Yogacharini Meenakshi Devi Bhavavani Director of International Centre for Yoga Education and Research.

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

This site is dedicated to Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj, who was one of the five leading world authorities on the ancient science of Ashtanga Yoga in the twentieth century and who is often called

"The Father of Modern Scientific Yoga".,
and the founder of

INTERNATIONAL CENTRE for YOGA EDUCATION and RESEARCH

Swamiji was also known as the Lion of Pondicherry, for he not only roared out Wisdom, he roared with laughter too !

                                  A great GURU , scientist, doctor, father and friend .

In a world (Kali Yuga) which is getting increasingly immersed in Maya, materialism, superficiality and the gross  aspects of life , 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.
