“As a ripple on the surface of the lake
does not reflect the true form of the moon,
the stirrings of our mind veil the Truth. 
If we still the waves of the mind through Yoga,
the True Self emerges alone.” 

— Sadguru Sri Mahayogi Paramahamsa

the establishment of the Mahayogi Yoga Ashrama in 1976, Sri Mahayogi Paramahamsa has taught the Universal Truth and has assiduously engaged in the work of leading seekers of Truth.
Many seekers have come to Sri Mahayogi to study the various disciplines of Yoga.  In June 1996, in response to the aspiration of Anandamali, an ardent disciple, Sri Mahayogi visited New York for the first time.  His divinity touched the pure souls and awakened them to the teachings of the Truth.  In December 25th 1996, they established the MAHAYOGI YOGA MISSION in New York in order to officially receive Sri Mahayogi’s teachings.  It led the establishment of the MAHAYOGI YOGA MISSION in Japan.  And so began the dissemination of the teachings of Sri Mahayogi.

Yoga is a path to realize the Truth, which has been conveyed for thousands of years since ancient times in India.  Sri Mahayogi teaches, however, that Yoga as a path to Truth is neither limited to India nor to yogis.  It is attainable for anyone in modern society, whether you are a householder or not, regardless of the your job or personal circumstances.  What is more, the purpose of yoga is needful in this modern society since discovering the ultimate meaning of our existence will bring harmony and tranquility to our busy lives.  All saints and sages have taught that our True Nature is complete, eternal existence, endless bliss, the same, and the One.  The purpose of the activities of the MAHAYOGI YOGA MISSION is to reveal this universal Truth and see it manifest within everybody.

May many touch the divine light of Sri Mahayogi, awaken to Truth, and realize harmony in life and Absolute Bliss.
