OUR SPIRITUAL GUIDES.

The Satyananda Yoga (or Bihar Yoga) method draws inspiration from Adi Shankaracharya, the codifier of the Dashnami Sannyasa Tradition, and from the masters who established the current lineage of Satyananda Yoga: Sri Swami Shivananda Saraswati, Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati, and Swami Satyasangananda Saraswati.

Adi Shankaracharya was born in the 8th century CE. He is recognized as an undisputed spiritual leader in India and a propagator of the Advaita Vedanta philosophy, which leads directly to the experience of the highest yogic life. During his lifetime, he founded the Dashnami Sannyasa Tradition with the aim of unifying the various and diverse groups of sannyasins scattered throughout the country, bringing them together under the banner of Sanatana Dharma. The Dashnami Sannyasins continue to this day to transmit his timeless message of the synthesis of all beliefs within Advaita—the monistic vision of reality in which all things are ultimately understood to be One.

Sri Swami Shivananda Saraswati was born in Pattamadai (Tamil Nadu) in 1887. After practicing medicine in Malaya, he gave up his medical career to seek his Guru at the foot of the Himalayas. He settled in the sacred valley of Rishikesh and was initiated into the Dashnami Sannyasa Tradition in 1924 by Swami Vishwnanda Saraswati. In the years that followed, he wrote hundreds of books and articles on yoga and spirituality to preserve and instill yogic values in the collective consciousness. His focus was on breaking down the barriers that separate those in need from the teachings that can help them, whether in the form of yoga for health, peace of mind, or spiritual aspirations. This philosophy continues to guide the work of the Satyananda branch, which follows in his lineage, to this day. To this end, Sri Swami Shivananda traveled throughout India, inspiring people to practice yoga and lead a divine life. He founded the Divine Life Society in Rishikesh in 1936, the Shivananda Ayurvedic Pharmacy in 1945, the Yoga Vedanta Forest Academy in 1948, and the Shivananda Eye Hospital in 1957. He entered Maha Samadhi on July 14, 1963. As one of the leading voices of his time, Sri Swami Shivananda Saraswati guided millions of spiritual seekers, disciples, and aspirants around the world.

Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati was born in Almora (Uttar Pradesh) in 1923. In 1943, he met Swami Shivananda in Rishikesh and adopted the Dashnami Sannyasa lifestyle. In 1955, he left his guru's ashram to live as a wandering mendicant; he later founded the "International Yoga Fellowship" in 1956 and the "Bihar School of Yoga" in 1963. Over the next twenty years, Swami Satyananda traveled throughout the world and authored more than 80 books. In 1984, he founded "Shivananda Math," a charitable institution dedicated to promoting rural development, and the "Yoga Research Foundation." In 1988, he renounced his mission by taking kshetra sannyasa. At midnight between December 5 and 6, 2009, he entered Maha Samadhi.

Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati was born in Madhya Pradesh in 1960. At the age of four, he joined the Bihar School of Yoga and was initiated into Dashnami Sannyasa at the age of ten. Beginning in 1971, he traveled abroad and visited many countries over the next 11 years. In 1983, he was called back to India and appointed President of the Bihar School of Yoga. Since then, he has led the development of Ganga Darshan, Shivananda Math, the Yoga Publications Trust, and the Yoga Research Foundation. In 1990, he was initiated as a Paramahamsa, and in 1993, he was consecrated as a preceptor, succeeding Swami Satyananda. The Bihar Yoga Bharati was founded under his direction in 1994. He is the author of more than twenty books and leads national and international yoga programs.

Swami Satyasangananda (Satsangi) Saraswati was born in 1953 in Chandorenagore, West Bengal. At the age of 22, she experienced a series of inner awakenings that led her to her guru, Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Since 1981, she has traveled continuously with her guru throughout India and abroad, and through deep intuitive study, she has developed an understanding of both yogic and tantric traditions as well as modern sciences and philosophies. She is an excellent conduit for transmitting her guru's teachings. The founding of Shivananda Math in Rikhia is her creation and mission: she guides all activities, working tirelessly to uplift the most vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. She embodies compassion with a clear purpose that lies at the heart of her guru's vision.

Monte Ascensione: Nestled at an elevation of 800 meters on Monte Ascensione (1,110 meters above sea level) lies the association's registered office. With its bizarre and unique silhouette, Monte Ascensione has given rise to legends and tales shrouded in mystery; it immediately piques curiosity and sparks the imagination. Among its distinctive features is the absolutely unique quality of presenting an identical, mirror-image view when observed from a certain angle from its opposite slopes—east-northeast and west-southwest: Sometimes it resembles the face of a sleeping giant or a young woman when viewed from the Teramo area, or the profile of Cecco D'Ascoli—first a friend, then an adversary of Dante—while some even say it resembles Dante himself. It is also highly valuable from an environmental standpoint, given its abundance of forests and diverse wildlife. A mountain cherished by the people of Ascoli, the Ascensione is a constant presence, visible from various points in the city, starting with the Porta Maggiore bridge.
