I was born in Gujarat, India to a religious family and grew up studying yoga, meditation and Vedic scriptures. In 1961 I came to the United States as a graduate chemistry student and worked in the corporate world until deciding to quit my job in 1972 and teach yoga full time. I then founded and ran Glassboro Ashram for 8 years and owned/operated Prasad Health Food store and restaurant for 19 years. I am a yoga master and have written 9 books on yoga, dynamic balanced living and transformation. I reside in Ocean City, NJ with my wife for last 33 years. I offer yoga seminars, retreats, private and group classes to students of all levels. I practice and teach a holistic lifestyle, self love and self reliance for personal transformation. During my search for the truth, I have studied with and hosted many masters, always seeking to share life experiences and inspire others.
