About Us – Satyamsumiran

Yoga is a powerful science of the Inner Self. It is the science of managing the mind and harnessing its vast potentials. It also provides us with tools to improve our capacity, to heal ourselves, to nurture, nourish and help blossom our inner creativity.

Having pioneered the Yoga movement in the 1960’s, Paramahamsa Swami Satyananda gave a clarion call heralding the dawn of a new spiritual consciousness. This took the shape of a new movement the ‘Yoga of the Heart’ whose mantra is ‘SERVE, LOVE, GIVE’.

Based on his experience with this new model, Swami Yogapratap Saraswati, established the Satyam Sumiran Yoga Research Foundation (SSYRF) to disseminate the teachings of the Masters.

Mission

The aim of this foundation is to provide everyone with a chance to attain health, harmony and happiness. The SSYRF team operates on the ‘SERVE, LOVE GIVE’ principle that allows everyone to attain yogic and spiritual progress by selflessly reaching out to others, to the have-nots, the load bearers of the society. The team is dedicated towards empowering individuals to lead a more purposeful, healthy and contented life by integrating yogic and spiritual principles.
