Integral Yoga Institute New York

Founder of Integral Yoga

His Holiness Sri Swami Satchidanandaji Maharaj (Sri Gurudev) (1914–2002) founded Integral Yoga® in 1966, the worldwide Integral Yoga® Institutes, and Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville®, a dynamic Yoga community. He is regarded by many as an apostle of peace and served as a living example of the teachings of Yoga and its goal of self-realization. Dedicated to the principle that “Truth is One, Paths are Many,” his teachings bring together people of all backgrounds and beliefs so that they can learn to respect all different paths and realize their common spirit and the universality of their spiritual goals. Sri Gurudev served on the advisory boards of numerous peace and interfaith organizations and authored many books, including To Know Your Self, The Living Gita, and The Golden Present. Among the many awards and honors he received are the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Award, the Humanitarian Award of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, the Juliet Hollister Interfaith Award, and the U Thant Peace Award.
