Paramhamsa Swami Yogeshwaranand Saraswati
(A Revered Yogi and Spiritual Luminary)

Swami Yogeshwaranand Saraswati, known as Vyas Dev ji in his childhood, stands as an eminent figure among the greatest Yogis of the 20th century. From a tender age of fourteen, he embarked on a remarkable journey, relinquishing the comforts of a secure home to embrace a life of profound austerity.

His unwavering dedication led him to the majestic Himalayas and Tibet, where he immersed himself in the sacred teachings of the Hindu Scriptures, diligently practicing the ancient wisdom for the singular purpose of attaining self-realization.

Join us in embracing the timeless wisdom imparted by Swami Yogeshwaranand Saraswati and discover the profound potential of yoga and spirituality to illuminate your journey of life and experience the divinity within you.

Excellent!

I especially enjoyed their beautiful daily program, specifically the asana classes (2 times per day), meditation (2 times a day for one hour) and lectures (2 per day). You get a room to yourself which I really appreciated. The ashram complex is located very central in Rishikesh.

Excellent!

Incredible views. The asanas classes are nice. We had Akash and Sailesh. Both are good. I loved Sailesh evening class. The food is Sattvic and slightly Rajasic (slightly spicy), it’s good. The management is nice. The bungalows are good. The dogs are lovely. Good experience, I would do it again.
