Swami Chidanand
Swami Chidanand (Maria) is a senior disciple of an authentic guru and yoga master from India. For more than two decades her life has been dedicated to the practice and teachings of the science of yoga. In 2010 she was initiated into the holy order of Sannyasa, and she has been entrusted with the mission to disseminate the ancient teachings in order to help raise the awareness of health living standards and spirituality. Her life has been one of deep contemplation and inquiry into the mind and finer aspects of existence. From personal experiences her foundation allows her to have a broader understanding of the human condition and the reality of the material and spiritual suffering that exists in the world today.
Yoga is a science of living. It is not just an exercise regime but a spiritual, mental, physical science that approaches the individual as a whole. Unfortunately the term has been adulterated and watered down over the decades and converted into a multi-billion dollar industry. Yoga is a science of inner discovery, and if pursued and practiced authentically it will show that there is no quick fix or fast route when it comes to the spiritual path. It is a process that requires continuous effort with supportive guidance. Without proper guidance and instruction one may find themselves confused and lost while attempting to overcome great challenges. Yoga is universal for anyone regardless of race or religion, and it can certainly make one more devoted to their religion of choice. Sadly, religions tend to control and divide, while the science of Yoga, which predates religions, is for union with God. It is our God given right to know who we are and to understand how to balance the material and spiritual world in order to deepen our connection to God and Universal Laws. May we all eventually come to this realization, and discover the peace that passes all understanding.
