I am from Australia, and have come to India hoping to stay for 4-5 years, to enable me to study and learn as much as possible in that time about Yoga in all its branches.
I have heard you have an excellent programme in asanas, kriyas, mudras, pranayama etc. and also Yoga Therapy and meditation. I am hoping that with your blessing I may be able to come and live at your ashram for 5 months and partake of your teaching, beginning in early April of this year.
I arrived in India in late December, 1983 and am currently living and practicing at Swami Shivanand Saraswati’s Ashram in Calcutta. I enjoy ashram life very much having experienced it 2-3 years ago in America, with Swami Satchidananda of Rishikesh, who has many Yoga Institues and ashrams there, in America.
I Plan on remaining here until the end of March, and if all is well, come directly upto your ashram is Kankhal.

Yoga and Spiritualism were taken as synonyms in ancient India.All the renowned saints and sages of the past are believed to havepracticed Yoga, both for the purification of their souls and keeping their bodies fit.In the recent times, Yoga has, once again, acquired high importancein the midst of high technology and scientific has slowly and slowlysubmitted to the preventive and curative qualities of the science of Yoga. There has been a mushroom growth of Yoga Institutions all over.
It is different that some people, who themselves know nothing about the basic principles of Yogic Science, are posing as Yoga Gurus.However, such distortions not with standing, the Science of Yoga, has caught the imagination of one and all in our tension ridden society around the globe and there are many excellent Institutions headed by selfless Yoga preachers, which are rendering yeoman’s service to the mankind.
I am very glad that Yoga Acharya Swami Devi Dayalji Maharaj has been a moving spirit for a number of years now behind the ‘Haryana Yog Sabha, Panchkula, Chandigarh Yog Sabha and Spiritual Yoga Centre, Delhi, etc.’ These Institutions have done tremendous service in promoting the Science of yoga amongst the people of this region and infinite number of people are benefiting from his teachings.Swamiji is bringing out a quarterly ‘Yoga Abhyas’ magazine. I pray that the Almighty may bestow all His blessings on the Yogacharya for the success of his Mission-an extremely noble thought and action in the service of humanity.
