About Yogi Vishnu
A child was born in a Brahmin family in a village not far from a prominent city in the western region of Odisha. Though close proximity with the city, this village is not very much different than any other village, where people look forward to development in terms of electricity, water supply and good quality education. The childhood of this young boy continued through the phases of schooling, playing with other kids and learning new things in this world. However, one thing that was quite uncommon about this child was his grandfather’s guidance for meditation. Exposed to a spiritual atmosphere since birth, this young kid has discovered his interest in meditation since the young days. The Radha-Krishna Temple in the village which was constructed by his Grandfather, this young kid is often seen to serving food and water to wandering sadhus, whoever was passing by to listen to their travel stories and stories of spirituality. No one ever though this young boy will grow up one day and become famous in the spiritual circle as Yogi Vishnu Panigrahi.
As young Vishnu stepped into his adolescent stage, he has to leave his village to pursue his higher education in the nearby city. This is where he started bunking classes to listen to the Satsang (spiritual discourse) of various swamis and sadhus whoever visits the city. He came across renowned saints like Swami Avdheshanand Giri from Haridwar during this phase of life which has greatly influenced his quest in the spirituality and self-enlightenment. During this phase teen Vishnu also found a Kalyan-Mitra (a noble friend), who would come with him in the wee hours of the morning to perform meditation and sadhana with him. Away from the village in a scheduled place, they both would chant ‘Mahamudgaram’ – a hymn by Adi Shankaracharya which is believed to dispel fears and helps to attain Vairagya (renunciation from the material world).
I am bowing my head in from of Shree Guru, by whom the eyes of wisdom has been opened in the darkness of ignorance. – Guru Vandana

My life is dedicated to human unity, love, and compassion through our work at Samadhi Kundalini Yoga Ashram and The World Peace Yoga School. Kundalini Tantra, Pranayama & Meditation are my passions and my goal is to help set you free so that you can be your true authentic self. Born in the UK to an Indian family, I was drawn to the path of spirituality from a young age, but it was life's mis-steps and experiences that gradually made the call from my soul loud enough to leave behind my life in the UK and return to India. Yoga was the path that lifted the veil for me to live life once again in the present moment. I quickly immersed myself in the wisdom of yoga, learning from many of the great masters of the Himalayas, qualifying as a Kundalini Yoga teacher and going on to master Sound Healing, Cacao Rituals and Reiki which I love to bring into my Kundalini practice. My life a service to humanity. As Kundalini Teacher of World Peace Yoga School, my vision is to share the beauty and power of the wisdom that changed my life with you.
