YOGI SHANTI DESAI’S GOAL
Yogi Desai hosts Peace Pilgrim at the Glassboro Ashram in 1978. Peace Pilgrim was a world-renowned spiritual teacher, mystic, pacifist, vegetarian and peace activist. Her book, Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words, was translated into 12 languages and in 2017 she was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame.
In the current age of Kali Yuga, we are overloaded with information. Those on the path to spiritual growth and well-being are exposed to all kinds of information on the internet, as well as books, videos, workshops, and the words of commercially oriented spiritual leaders and their organizations.
Most sources stimulate the mind temporarily, hypnotize us, and promote illusions and escapes. Masses of people become blind followers, convert to one ideology or another, and undertake mechanical disciplines, dogmas, and rituals. This results in frustration.
If you are humble, have an open heart and mind, and are willing to take responsibility for your life, you should approach a living master who is selfless and teaches from personal experience. This can transform your life. Only a lighted candle can light other candles. A spiritual master can awaken you with his presence, compassion, and a few words of wisdom.
Yogi Shanti Desai is modern day revolutionary yoga master. He has practiced yoga his entire life and has taught many thousands of students over the past 50 years. He has successfully integrated material, social, and spiritual life, and has written 16 books on various aspects of yoga and spiritual philosophy. His teachings are at once ancient, contemporary, highly practical, and holistic. Shanti guides students to confront rather than escape the challenges of everyday life, while simultaneously growing within.
Yogi Desai’s message is universal and suitable for students of all ages, professions, and religious backgrounds. His core teachings encourage students to grow in self love and wisdom, and generate a surplus of health, money, and time as needed for the spiritual journey.
“I wish to be instrumental in waking up groups and individuals with personal guidance to transform their lives. Spiritual wisdom is the best and longest lasting gift that one can offer. Sharing the wisdom gives me the greatest joy. I like to interact with groups of students, reach them at their level with compassion, and guide them with my lifetime of experiences.” -Yogi Shanti Desai
