“My life’s mission is to help people in need. Not only physically and psychologically, but also holistically and spiritually. What I have discovered is due to the inspiration of my parents and spiritual teachers,” says Sanjay.
At age 20, seeking enlightenment, he left behind his comfortable life in London UK, to help the poor and live at a monastery (ashram) in the wilderness of India.
Sanjay teaches from the authentic experiences of what he has lived, breathed, and practiced for 20 years as a monk.
He actually lived the ancient practice of austerity and self-denial prescribed for advanced yoga and meditation.
He practiced yoga and meditated for 6 hours a day every day for 20 years!
Often, he meditated for days on end. This was to explore true self-discovery, true self-esteem, and true self-control. It led to a genuine mastery over the mind.
He fasted for four days at a stretch, even without water. Additionally, he fasted 8 days a month. He slept on the cold floor, awoke every day at 5am, showered in freezing water, and ate simple vegetarian food.
He didn’t even watch tv, listen to the radio, or have a phone. He didn’t drink tea or coffee or sodas. He didn’t eat onion or garlic. He mixed his food with water in a begging bowl before eating.
He rejected all pleasures and comforts of the body and delved into yoga, meditation, self-control, self-development, spirituality, and helping the poor.
Without receiving any salary or compensation or other source of income whatsoever for 20 years, Sanjay in effect committed career suicide when he dedicated the prime youth of his life to helping the poor and those afflicted by floods, famine, and earthquake in India and around the world.
As a monk for 20 years, Sanjay practiced the original Ashtanga Yoga of the ancient yogis in all its arduous eight disciplines. He also practiced Hatha Yoga, studied Sanskrit, yoga philosophies, theologies, the world faiths, and modern science. His research Thesis was published in several international, mainstream scientific journals.
