OUR SPIRITUAL GUIDES.

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

Adi Shankaracharya was born in the 8th century AD. 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 to unify the various sannyasin groups scattered throughout the country, bringing them together under the banner of Sanatana Dharma. Dashnami Sannyasins continue to transmit his eternal message of synthesizing all beliefs into Advaita—the monistic view of reality in which all things are ultimately understood to be One.  

Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati was born in Pattamadai (Tamil Nadu) in 1887. After practicing medicine in Malaya, he renounced his profession to seek his Guru at the foot of the Himalayas. Settling in the sacred valley of Rishikesh, he was initiated into the Dashnami Sannyasa Tradition in 1924 by Swami Vishwananda Saraswati. In the following years, he wrote hundreds of books and articles on yoga and spirituality to instill yogic values in the collective mindset. His emphasis was on breaking down the barriers that separate those in need from the teachings that can help them—whether for health, peace of mind, or spiritual aspirations. This ideology continues to guide the Satyananda branch following his lineage today. To this end, Sri Swami Sivananda traveled throughout India, inspiring people to practice yoga and lead a divine life. He founded the Divine Life Society in Rishikesh in 1936, the Sivananda Ayurvedic Pharmacy in 1945, the Yoga Vedanta Forest Academy in 1948, and the Sivananda Eye Hospital in 1957. He entered Mahasamadhi on July 14, 1963. As one of the major voices of this era, Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati guided millions of spiritual seekers, disciples, and aspirants worldwide.

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.

Association Magazine:YOGA PANORAMA – The Magazine

Yoga Panorama was created to share and provide in-depth information about the association's activities and, above all, to reveal the very soul of the association: promoting "Yoga" as handed down and taught by our Masters.

Even though today a yoga center can be found on almost every corner of the globe (in the United States, nearly 10% of the population—around 20 to 25 million people—is said to practice yoga, while in Italy it accounts for 2% of the population, which, despite seeming minimal, still represents 1 to 1.4 million people), there is still much confusion about what Yoga truly is, its effects on human beings, its fields of application, and the scientific research and experimentations conducted on this discipline.

Through this magazine, the association aims to make its modest contribution to spreading and promoting the vision of Yoga known worldwide as Satyananda Yoga – Bihar Yoga.

To achieve this goal, the Yoga Panorama magazine will utilize the following methods and working materials:

• Publication of articles from the Yoga Magazine website, translated into Italian (with written permission from the Bihar School of Yoga);
• Publication of articles or extracts from the works of Swami Sivananda Saraswati (for all publications where publishing permission has been granted);

• Publication and translation of extracts from articles sourced from online scientific journals, such as the American PubMed or similar platforms, focusing on scientific research on Yoga;

• Publication of any articles or extracts from Italian or foreign media concerning yoga;
• Publication of articles written by members reflecting their impressions and/or experiences regarding Yoga.

Yoga Panorama magazine is published in print and distributed to all members of Hara Center – Yoga School, while an online version will be available to all interested readers on the blog:
