Swami Maheshananda Saraswati was born in Raipur, India, in 1970. Deep psychic experiences in his youth led him to his Guru Paramhamsa Satyananda and the Bihar School of Yoga, Munger - one of the most respected schools and traditions of yoga in the world. He was initiated into the Dasnami Sannyasa Order in 1995 by Paramhamsa Niranjanananda, the anointed successor of Paramhamsa Satyananda. Swami Maheshananda lived with his Guru for the customary twelve years, serving his Guru's mission in various capacities. Now, as a wandering yogi, he travels both nationally and internationally to conduct seminars and workshops on yoga. Swami Maheshananda completed his Bachelors of Engineering (Mechanical) in 1992, and in 1994 joined his Guru's mission. He completed the Yoga Teacher Training Course from the Bihar School of Yoga in 1994 and since then, has been actively involved in teaching yoga. In 1998 he successfully completed an M.A. in Yoga Philosophy (and was a Gold Medalist in his class) from Bihar Yoga Bharati, the first University of Yoga in the world. He has taught the philosophical and practical aspects of Yoga and Tantra at the post graduate and undergraduate levels at Bihar Yoga Bharati as a Lecturer of the Yoga Philosophy Department from 1998 to 2005. |
