The Founder's Journey
A Story Rooted in the Himalayas
Origins
Born in the Shadow of the Himalayas
Born on 25 December 1986 in a small Himalayan village near the sacred pilgrimage site of Badrinath, my journey began amidst simplicity, devotion, and the challenges of mountain life. Growing up in a remote region where resources were limited and modern comforts were scarce, life itself became my first teacher. The harsh winters, long walks through rugged terrains, and witnessing the struggles of ordinary people taught me resilience, gratitude, and faith from an early age.
Spiritual Roots
A Sacred Initiation That Changed Everything
Raised in a traditional spiritual family deeply rooted in Vedic culture and Himalayan wisdom, I found strength and guidance in the ancient teachings passed down through generations. At the age of 12, I received my sacred initiation — Janeu Sanskar — from my revered Guru according to our ancient tradition. This profound moment marked the beginning of a lifelong spiritual journey dedicated to sadhana, meditation, mantra recitation, and devotional worship.
Education & Mastery
From Himalayan Wisdom to Academic Excellence
My passion for understanding the true essence of yoga led me to pursue formal education, earning a Master's Degree in Yoga from Uttarakhand Sanskrit University. I successfully completed both 200-Hour and 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training programs, strengthening my foundation in traditional yogic sciences. Driven by an unwavering desire to explore yoga's transformative potential, I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Yogic Science at Sparsh Himalaya University, focusing on Pranayama and its profound effects on human health and consciousness.
The Mission
Why I Founded Sriezaa Yogshala
Over the years, I have devoted myself to Vedic Astrology, Vedic Rituals, Mantra Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, meditation, and traditional Himalayan spiritual disciplines. Every experience reinforced a single realisation: yoga is far more than physical postures — it is a complete science of self-transformation. With this vision, I founded Sriezaa Yogshala as a sacred mission dedicated to preserving and sharing the authentic teachings of yoga in their purest form, guiding individuals toward physical well-being, mental clarity, emotional balance, spiritual growth, and inner peace.
