Satyananda Yoga – A Global Yogic Movement

Sri Swami Satyananda was a great visionary. In early sixties, when the whole world was trying to find out its external direction, Sri Swami Satyananda traveled the entire length and breadth of the whole world and sowed seeds of a spiritual renaissance!

Drawn by this impeccable clarity and scientific presentation of the ancient wisdom of the yoga, millions of people took to yoga, as a personal practice, for their spiritual upliftment, to research and explore the role and impact of yoga in several dimensions and applications.



You can find an amazing teacher of yoga a Sannyasin or a Swami in any part of the world. Sri Swami Satyananda's visits ranged from the eastern countries, to Europe, from the Americas to Iceland, Asian countries to Arabia.

Well established teaching facilities, centers, research institutions have been founded inspired by Sri Swamiji all over the world. Satyananda Yoga Centres in Chennai founded by Sn.Shiva Rishi follow the teaching of Sri Swami Satyananda and our peers, yoga teachers, researchers, Swamis, ashrams, can be found any where in the world. During the World Yoga Convention in October 2013, participants and delegates from 46 countries, expressed their sentiments and gratitude to this yoga tradition. This was proof for the outstanding work done by our tradition!

If He can be Transformed! Why not YOU?

Shiva Rishi is a spiritual name given to him by his Guru Swami Niranjan! He has even received a Karma Sannyasa Diksha from his Guru and is guiding thousands of people!

About 30 years ago, back in 1986, M.Jayagopal (As he was known then) should have passed out of +2 from DAV School, Goplapuram, but two years prior in 1984, he moved out of DAV to The Hindu Higher Secondary School, Triplicane, since he could not cope with CBSE curriculum.

His parents had to arrange for tuition for Mathematics, since he found it very difficult. Shri.D.Murugesan a great math teacher, was engaged by his parents to help him understand and do better in Maths. It was one of the toughest teaching experience for Shri.D.Murugesan, as Jayagopal was lazy to study, distracted, reluctant student. He was playful, interested in having fun and very mischievous! Not a day passed without Jayagopal being punished by one teacher or the other.



Such a child was touched and transformed into a seasoned and intense practitioner of yoga when he was 20 years old. In 1988, he joined his first yoga classes in Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, in Chennai. Jayagopal's life took a new turn. The inner journey started when he continuously practiced Asanas and Pranayamas for over four years guided by Swami Vishnudevananda's centre in Chennai.

He found the inner experiments intense, invigorating and illumining. The same child who could come no where near concentrating even for minutes, could practice yoga for hours together, which he continued to do for over four years.

The intense practices had increased his pranic frequencies, clarified the mind of useless thoughts and realigned entrenched self limiting habits. Jayagopal found it very interesting to read and learn about yoga and became a voracious  reader of yoga, yoga philosophy!

From a  lazy, reluctant, distracted student, yoga had transformed Jayagopal into a keen, enthusiastic, focused student! Yoga came into the young boys life like a magic wand!


Just Give Yoga a chance!
