Yoga in Daily Life Auckland Ashram

ABOUT US Long ago, the essence of Yoga was revealed in the world's oldest spiritual scriptures, the Vedas. For many centuries, before these texts were written, the Holy traditions were transmitted orally from Master to disciple. To transmit the highest truth the Master must be Brahma Nistham Srotriyam, knower of all three times, this Master is known as the Satguru. To transcend the mind and reach the ultimate goal, seekers need the guidance of a Satguru, an enlightened Master who has followed the path to its natural end and can lead them to the Divine within themselves. The Satguru lineage of Yoga in Daily Life stretches back through time for centuries from Param Mahasiddha Awatar Sri Alakhpuriji, right up to the present day to H.H. Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda who now wears the Chadar of this Divine lineage. Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Sri Swami Maheshwarananda सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः । सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद दुःखभाग् भवेत् ॥ SARVE BHAVANTU SUKHINAḤ SARVE SANTU NIRĀMAYĀḤ SARVE BHADRĀṆI PAŚYANTU MĀ KAŚCID DUḤKHABHĀG BHAVET May all be happy May all be free from sorrow May all be prosperous May no-one be unhappy Affectionately known as Swamiji, is the disciple and successor of Paramhans Swami Madhavanandaji. In 1998 the spiritual community of the Maha Nirvani Akhara in India and the Shankaracharya (head of Hinduism), consecrated him as Mahamandaleshwar. Whilst still in his teens, Swamiji recognised that the true joy in life can be found in the service of God’s creation. He thus dedicated his life (as a Hindu monk) to easing the suffering of humanity and today he continues to be a tireless humanitarian worker, working around the globe for spiritual tolerance, social harmony, environmental protection and lasting world peace. Swamiji is also involved in many humanitarian-aid projects such as the Desert Rainwater Harvesting Initiative, the Rural Primary School and the Austria-Indian Hospital in the arid regions of Rajasthan, India.
