He has integrated all aspects of yoga in his personal, family, social and business life. He has successfully balanced all aspects of his life and has created surplus and attained contentment. He is at a stage of life called sanyas (renunciation) where he dedicates his life to meditation and selfless service. He would now like to share his experiences and wisdom with the world. In his own words:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I have taught yoga for over forty years. Teaching has been inspirational (Satsang) for me. I have searched for truth and have maintained awareness and questioned authorities. I have been revolutionary explorer and have relied on my personal practices, contemplation and experiences. I have expressed them through my books.&lt;br /&gt;Since 1972, I have chosen personal practice and family life as primary goal and teaching and book publications as a means. I have stayed in Ocean City, NJ, for that time and have only taught locally. I have not focused on missionary work, earning wealth, fame or power by creating organization and disciples. I have taught in the purest form without manipulating to please the audience or personal gain.&lt;br /&gt;These days I am disturbed by the manipulation and distortion in name of yoga and spirituality. People are misguided and confused by leaders who are motivated by personal gain and not by selfless service. Most students and teachers are mostly programmed by brand names, style of yoga and levels of yoga and do not have clarity of what they practice, teach and why they teach. They loose the capacity to explore total yoga as a life-style. They sacrifice inner peace for the perfection of body and compete for external alignment. They are motivated by looking good, feeling good and impressing others.&lt;br /&gt;I would like awaken people that are ready and teach them the simplistic lifestyle of yoga that they can apply in everyday life. I would like to introduce revolutionary approach for dynamic balanced living, transform people and help them to turn their life into a waking form of meditation.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yogi Shanti Desai is available to teach extensively to groups that are ready to receive his teachings. Spiritual teachings are priceless. However, they should be affordable for all. No one should be turned down due to financial problems. Students should be able to give unconditionally instead of bargaining. One can contribute money and services unconditionally to spread the teachings and experience the true joy of selfless service. In his own words:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I have no worldly ambitions and have found contentment. I need only the basic traveling expenses for me, my wife and associate. All the profits can be efficiently distributed to sponsoring institutions, publication and distribution of books. There should be transparency and efficient use of money and energy to transform the life of many. I hope this model catches like wild fire and transforms the entire world.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information please visit &lt;a href="http://www.yogishantidesai.com/"&gt;http://www.yogishantidesai.com/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1383979948115450212-300017367261073226?l=yogishantidesai.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yogishantidesai.blogspot.com/feeds/300017367261073226/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1383979948115450212&amp;postID=300017367261073226' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1383979948115450212/posts/default/300017367261073226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1383979948115450212/posts/default/300017367261073226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yogishantidesai.blogspot.com/2009/08/mission-of-yogi-shanti-desai.html' title='THE MISSION OF YOGI SHANTI DESAI'/><author><name>Yogi Shanti Desai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11927310917211216946</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iO6DxniSEmU/TvJbfNhJPMI/AAAAAAAAABA/5XclF40RFsU/s220/DSC04239.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
