What visitors have said...   "I have practised Yoga for many years under various distinguished American teachers but never before have I encountered such profound knowledge and lucid insight. The people of Britain are lucky to have direct contact with this level of Spirituality. Congratulations!" (Laura Callaghan, New York, USA) * "While surfing the net I ended up sampling the many Yoga sites on offer when by chance - if there is such a thing - I found a precious gem among the pebbles, for which I am very grateful." (Ravi Bhattacharya, Mumbay, India) * "Shri Somananda's 'The Past - The First Awakening' and your analysis of historical links between Yoga and Western Psychology are both mind-blowing and eye-opening... My friends at university are equally enthusiastic about your Yoga project. It offers a much-needed contrast to conventional 'spirituality', putting the latter in the right perspective." (Verity Matamoros, London, UK) * "Your exposition of Yoga Teachings and Practice has proved to be a true guiding light both to myself as a Yoga teacher and to my class. We are all very grateful." (Sangita Manikar, London, UK) * "As a strict Muslim I was brought up to look on other religions with suspicion. However, your mention (in your discussion on psychology) of Al-Halaj's journey to India, opened my eyes to the fact that our greatest poets looked not to Arabia for spiritual inspiration, but to India, the homeland of some of the World's most elevated souls. And so, I say with our other poet, Rumi: What shall I do, O Muslims? I am neither a Christian nor a Jew, neither a Magian, nor a Muslim. I have given up duality and embraced the Path of Unity." (A Secret Yoga Friend, Tehran, Iran) * "This is a great website. I really enjoyed your article on image worship. It shows how ignorant people can be about their own faith let alone other people's. I wish there were more Yoga websites like yours!" (Reg Collins, Manchester, UK) * "I fully agree with your initiative against the defamation of Indian culture. Hindus, Yogis and other followers of Sanatana Dharma must work together for a World that is free of prejudice and discrimination."
