Master Yogi
Anand Mehrotra
Founder and Master Yogi,
Sattva Yoga Academy

This integrated approach impacts all
aspects of one’s life and naturally leads
to remarkable transformations in each
student, enabling them to reach their
highest potential. In recent times,
Sattva began offering online courses to
meet the need of the hour. The online
courses have proven to be a very
valuable adjunct for those who are
unable to travel to India yet want to
experience the Himalayan wisdom by
studying the same Sattva courses
online.
Maintaining the Integrity of the
Timeless Teachings
Founder of Sattva Yoga Academy and
Master Yogi Anand Mehrotra was born
in Rishikesh into a very spiritual
family who were students of the
Himalayan Yogic Tradition. When he
was born, his Master Ananda Svarupe,
affectionately known as Maharaji, gave
him his own name. And so, Anand
Mehrotra spent the first 18 years of his
life constantly studying and learning in
the company of his Master.
Many institutes teaching yoga today
focus only on physical asana practices.
Sattva Yoga Academy teaches that
Yoga means unity. This is reflected in
the integrated technology of Sattva
Yoga. The foundation of all studies of
Sattva Yoga is the Sattva Meditation
Technique, a simple yet very effective
kriya-based and mantra-based
meditation technique.
By the age of 21, he was teaching with
the vision of his Master to honour and
maintain the integrity of the timeless
teachings of Himalayan Yoga through
the integrated approach. When he was
asked what this form of yoga could be
called, he named it Sattva Yoga. Nearly
20 years ago, he bought property and
developed it into the flourishing
campus of Sattva Yoga Academy.
We look
forward to
expanding our reach
by offering the
opportunity to
study the integrated
approach to the
ancient teachings of
yoga to those who
might not be able to
travel to India.

The sole objective of this meditation
technique is to enable the practitioner
to experience silence because the
greater the silence vibrating in one, the
greater access that student has to the
unchanging value of truth, to the
potential for transformative growth and
evolution of the state of consciousness.
Exploring the Rich Spiritual Legacy
Sattva Yoga Academy oﬀers 200-hour,
300-hour and 500-hour Yoga Teacher
Training courses. Master Teacher
Training follows the basic courses,
with options to continue in-depth
studies of Ayurveda, Prenatal Yoga,
Jyotish, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the
Bhagavad Gita, the Isha Upanishad,
the Chandogya Upanishad,
Shankaracharya’s Saundarya Lahari
and more teachings of the Himalayan
Yogis.
Sattva Yoga is all-inclusive, meeting
each student where they are at and
guiding each one towards their inﬁnite
potential.
The Himalayan Yogic Tradition
impacts all aspects of one’s life. Master
Yogi Anand Mehrotra is a modern-day
Rishi with a gift for presenting ancient
wisdom in an elegant manner that is
relevant to the current times.
Best Yoga Institutes for Making Healthy India, 2023

His students are enabled to commit to
taking radical responsibility for their
own state of consciousness under his
guidance.
Through the integrative approach of
Sattva Yoga, the students benefit from
overall health and wellness as
evidenced by the transformations of
body, mind, and spirit that they
experience.
All students stay in residence on the
campus of Sattva Yoga Academy at
Sattva Retreat, where their needs are
met with modern accommodations,
including ensuite bathrooms and AC.
In addition, there is an onsite
Ayurvedic Spa staffed by an Ayurvedic
doctor and trained staff to support the
well-being of the students with
massage, Ayurvedic treatments, and a
steam room. The healthy environment
is conducive to contemplation, study,
and practice, surrounded by the verdant
nature of the Himalayan mountains.
Ayurvedic meals are carefully prepared
and served by the kitchen on campus,
using organic produce from the nearby
Sattva Farm.
Harmonising All Levels of Health
The entire technology of Sattva Yoga is
focused on the benefits to be derived
from a consistent practice of the
timeless, proven, and powerful
technologies of the Himalayan Yogic
Tradition. Any student who commits to
a daily practice will reap those benefits
of body, mind, and spirit, harmonising
all levels of physical, mental, and
emotional health.
Each year, Sattva Yoga Academy
introduces more and more advanced
studies of the timeless wisdom of Yoga
through many courses and retreats led
by Master Yogi Anand Mehrotra. In
addition, Sattva Yoga Academy offers
courses and workshops in Ayurveda,
While still a teenager, Master Anand
founded the Kushi Charitable Society
to educate and support hundreds of at-
risk children in Rishikesh. He also
created the Sattva Foundation, which is
actively involved in delivering food,
medicines, and medical supplies to
those in need in many nearby towns
and villages. During the pandemic
times, these efforts were intensified.
Other endeavours that Master Anand
has initiated provide ongoing
employment to local residents so that
they can earn stable incomes for their
families. To further support community
wellness, the Sattva Farm, Sattva
Retreat, and the Rasa Resort Properties
employ a great number of local people
in the kitchens, housekeeping, offices,
gardens and in ongoing construction
and maintenance to promote
community wellness.

practising Ayurvedic Doctors,
including Level 1-Concepts, Level 2-
Advanced Applications and Level 3-
Practicum, leading to certification as a
Sattva Ayurveda Lifestyle Consultant.
Prenatal Teacher Training courses are
also presented, which are open to yoga
teachers and women who are or plan to
be pregnant. The trained yoga teachers
are then qualified to teach safe yoga
practices to women during their
pregnancy.
The trainings of Sattva Yoga Academy
come directly from the Source. Master
Yogi Anand Mehrotra grew up in the
Himalayan Yogic Tradition and
adheres to the vision of his Master to
maintain the integrity of the Source
teachings, which are drawn from the
unbroken chain of master to student,
master to student throughout thousands
of years.
The Sattva Yoga teachings are drawn
from the rich oral tradition of the
Himalayan Yogis and from the written
scriptures of the Vedas, the Vedangas,
the Upavedas, the Tantras and Agamas,
Itihaasa, Puranas, and Dharshanas.
Expanding the Roots with
Technology
Master Anand Mehrotra is an
enthusiastic entrepreneur whose many
projects enhance the lives of others in
win-win situations. He founded Sattva
Connect, an online platform of
teachings which includes the Sattva
Yoga technology and practices and a
wealth of Wisdom Talks, Meditations,
Mantra, Kriyas, Asana, Pranayama,
and Sacred Rituals. In addition, retreats
and courses are also available on the
platform to study and review. Sattva
Connect is available to anyone in the
world who has internet access and a
willingness to evolve.

number of Sattva Yoga Teachers across
the globe. Students who graduate from
here are fully prepared to teach Sattva
Yoga to a great diversity of students in
a multitude of environments. The
vibrant global Sattva Sangha strongly

These trainings will be taught by lead

200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.
Thriving in the Yoga Capital
Sattva Yoga Academy has grown and
prospered in Rishikesh, the yoga
capital of the world. It is now a leading
yoga destination for hundreds of
students. It is where the Source of the
Himalayan Yogic Tradition is
honoured. When a student is willing to
make the effort to learn the powerful
technology of yoga without dilution,
why go anywhere else?
Every individual who enhances their
own state of consciousness is
enhancing the consciousness of the
collective. India is the source of the
spiritual heritage of humanity that is a
treasure to share with the entire world.
As more Indians bring a vital
understanding of yoga, of the
understanding of unity, into their lives,
India as a whole will stand as a
stronger and healthier nation overall.
Our entire technology
is focused on the
bene ts to be derived from
a consistent practice of the
timeless, proven and
powerful technologies of
the Himalayan Yogic
Tradition.

YOGA
in India
ndia is the sacred land upon
Iwhose soil illustrious sages have
walked throughout the ages.
Along with several lifestyle
developments, the vibrant lands of
India gave birth to tranquil yoga. Yoga
is a traditional practice that unites the
body, mind, and spirit and has a history
as profound and intricate as the poses
and stretches it comprises.
Rooted in India's rich heritage, yoga's
journey through time is a testament to
its enduring signiﬁcance, reaching far
beyond physical exercise to touch the
essence of human existence.
The Early Origins
The beginnings of yoga can be
followed back to the Indus-Saraswati
Valley civilization, ﬂourishing around
2700 BC. This ancient civilization,

situated in the northwestern regions of
the Indian subcontinent, left behind a
treasure trove of seals and artifacts that
provide glimpses into early yogic
practices.
These ancient artifacts depict figures in
various poses, possibly indicative of
early yogic postures and meditative
practices. The seals suggest that yoga
was an integral part of the culture,
emphasizing its deep-rooted presence
in the Indian way of life.
The Vedas and Vedic Period
The proper codification and
philosophical underpinnings of yoga
emerged during the Vedic period,
around 1500-500 BC. The Vedas, a
collection of ancient sacred scriptures,
laid the foundation for the
philosophical aspects of yoga. Within
the Vedas, the word "yoga" was first
mentioned in the Rigveda, signifying a
yoking or union of the individual self
with the divine.
The Upanishads, a set of philosophical
texts, further expounded upon these
ideas. They introduced the concept of
"Brahman," the ultimate reality or
universal consciousness, and "Atman,"
the individual soul. The union of
Atman and Brahman became a central
theme in the philosophical journey of
yoga.
The Path of Patanjali
The systematic approach to yoga as we
know it today can be attributed to the
sage Patanjali, who compiled the Yoga
Sutras around 400 CE. These sutras, or
aphorisms, are a comprehensive guide
to the philosophy and practice of yoga.
Patanjali's work forms the foundation
for what is now known as "classical
yoga" or "Raja Yoga."
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras delineate the
eight limbs of yoga, outlining a path to
Modern Yoga
In the 20th century, yoga underwent a
transformation as it adapted to the
modern world. Yoga gurus like B.K.S.
Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and Swami
Sivananda played pivotal roles in
popularizing yoga as a physical
practice, known as "Hatha Yoga." This
approach emphasized the asanas
(postures) and pranayama (breath
control) aspects of yoga and attracted a
broader audience.
The integration of yoga into
mainstream wellness and fitness
culture in the West marked a significant
turning point. Yoga studios and classes
proliferated, offering various styles,
including Vinyasa, Power Yoga, and
Bikram Yoga, catering to diverse
preferences and fitness goals.
Today, yoga is a global phenomenon,
with millions of practitioners
worldwide. It encompasses a wide
spectrum of practices, ranging from the
deeply spiritual to the purely physical.
While many people are drawn to yoga
for its physical benefits—improved
flexibility, strength, and stress
reduction—others delve into its
profound spiritual and philosophical
dimensions.
Conclusion
Yoga's journey from ancient India to
the modern world is proof of its
enduring significance. From the
ancient era to modern life, yoga has
gracefully imbibed. Yoga's spread
worldwide, facilitated by pioneering
Indian yogis, and its adaptation to
modern fitness culture have made it a
global phenomenon, offering physical
and spiritual benefits to countless
practitioners across the globe.
spiritual realization. These limbs
include ethical principles (Yamas and
Niyamas), physical postures (asanas),
breath control (pranayama),
withdrawal of the senses (pratyahara),
concentration (dharana), meditation
(dhyana), and ultimate union
(samadhi). Patanjali's systematic
approach laid the groundwork for a
holistic yoga practice encompassing
physical, mental, and spiritual
dimensions.
Yoga in the Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita, a 700-verse Hindu
scripture part of the Indian epic
Mahabharata, further explores the
concept of yoga. It is a conversation
between Prince Arjuna and Lord
Krishna, who serves as his charioteer
and spiritual guide. In this dialogue,
yoga is presented as a path to self-
realization and a means to fulfill one's
duty in life.
The Bhagavad Gita introduces the idea
of different paths to yoga, including
Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana
Yoga. It emphasizes that yoga is not
limited to physical postures but
extends to a way of life that aligns
one's actions with a higher purpose.
The Spread of Yoga
As centuries passed, yoga continued to
evolve and adapt to different cultural
contexts. It spread beyond the borders
of India, reaching various parts of Asia
and, eventually, the Western world.
In the late 19th and early 20th
centuries, Indian yogis like Swami
Vivekananda and Paramhansa
Yogananda introduced yoga to the
West. These pioneering individuals
emphasized the spiritual and
philosophical aspects of yoga, sparking
interest and curiosity among Western
seekers.

understand his financial situation,
understand his family background, and
then he must teach him in the right
way. Without a teacher, there is no
doubt that the future of the students
will remain a blank sheet. So, a
teacher is an extraordinary power in a
student's journey of life, and that
power is the root cause to guide him
and walk on the path of success. Even
when a student attains any great
position in his life, that honour should
go to his teacher, and the same should
be congratulated first. Overall, Guru's
position is very precious in our life, so
kudos to all the Gurus in this world.
The role of a teacher is immense at
every stage of man's life, from birth to
settlement. It is our Guru who holds
our hand and guides us in every step
we take. I think there can be a village
without a school but can't be any
village without a guru. There is no
exaggeration in saying that no one else
has the place of a teacher in our human
society. Even a person in any high
position thinks that he is only after his
guru.
Good teachers are never forgotten by
any student. The position of a teacher
is unmatched. Even our former

replenishes light in the lives of
students.
So,
Dear Teachers,
Our constant appreciation and regard
for your persistent services.
BIG SALUTE to all of you.
teachers are given a place after our
parents. Parents and teachers are the
biggest benefactors in any student's
life, and they go out of their way to
help them succeed in life! No doubt,
we place our mother as the first teacher
who introduces the baby to the world
and the father as the next who teaches
the baby to walk, and then we invite
Guru, who plays a predominant role in
building the career of the baby. Besides
this, Guru plays a significant role in
moulding and shaping the life of a
student into a good human being and
later into a responsible citizen, a
caretaker of his family, and a protector
of his nation. Guru is the one who
removes the layers of ignorance and
illuminates the light of knowledge.
Kabir Das said, "If God and Guru are
side by side, I will bow down to Guru
first." He explained that it was the
Guru who first told him that he was
God. So, Gurus also have an influence
on our minds. That's how we stand by
the words of our ancestors who said
Matru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava,
and Acharya Devo Bhava.
We all know that there is no profession
without a teacher. We know that
without a teacher, there is no progress
for students. Students know that their
education leads their future on the path
of progress and is laid for community
service and country service. That
means the teacher is the basis for the
bright future of the students, the basis
of all professions, the basis for the
development of society, and the basis
of national development.
Of all the professions, the most natural,
untainted, and beloved profession is
the teaching profession. It is because,
here, both the teacher and the student
should strive hard in the context that
the student should be educated. Every
teacher must understand the mentality
of every student he is teaching,
There are many important ways in
which teachers can have a remarkable
impingement on a student's life. They
are not only role models but also
extend support to students with proper
guidance for a reverberant future.
Teachers motivate students to perform
better in every domain and help them
achieve life goals. They assess the
strengths and weaknesses of their
students and guide them to follow best
practices. It is their guidance that
makes students learn the difference
between right and wrong. A wise
teacher is equally compassionate
toward aimless and careless students
and instantly extends his helping hand
to bring them to the right path in
academics. They not only bring out the
best in students but also teach them
valuable life skills like organization,
presentation, and communication.
Besides these, they mould them into
righteous human beings by instilling
the qualities of sympathy, compassion,
and empathy.
Teachers are the ultimate role models
in the lives of students. Guru means
patience, sympathy, pity, kindness,
understanding, helpfulness, patience,
persistence, compassion, equality,
humanity, empathy, inclusiveness etc.
They have a priceless bond with the
students and always encourage and
motivate them to do better. They are
dedicated learners who not only teach
but listen to students' problems and try
to guide them to the best of their
ability.
Right from the ancient ages to the
modern age, the guru is considered a
literary worker who builds the ladder
of life development in his students. He
is believed to be the true protector of
our society. He is the one who opens
the first page of the chapter of our
education. That's why in our society,

he idea of a Uniform Civil
TCode (UCC) in India can be
traced back to the colonial era
when the British introduced a uniform
legal system. After India gained
independence, the Constitution-makers
decided to leave personal laws
untouched, recognizing the diversity of
cultures and religions in the country.
The UCC falls under Article 44 of the
Indian Constitution, which states that
‘The State shall endeavour to secure
for the citizens a uniform civil code
throughout the territory of India.’
However, the debate on the need for a
Uniform Civil Code began in the
1950s, and the government set up a
committee to study the issue. Since
then, there have been sporadic attempts
to implement a Uniform Civil Code,
but it has remained a controversial
subject due to opposition from various
religious groups.
The UCC is a topic that has been a hot
topic of debate in India for years. The
real aim of UCC is to bring about
uniformity in personal laws and do
away with discriminatory practices. It
is often considered a necessary step
toward promoting equality and national
unity. However, opponents argue that it
would infringe upon religious rights
and cultural diversity. As the UCC
becomes an electoral promise in poll-
bound states, it is important to
understand the implications of having a
Uniform Civil Code.
In February of this year, Kerala
Governor Arif Mohammed Khan
addressed the media to discuss the
implementation of the Uniform Civil
Code (UCC). He emphasized the need
to dispel misconceptions surrounding
the UCC and stated that it should be
implemented as it aligns with our
constitutional objectives. Rather than
turning it into a point of contention, he
stressed the importance of clarifying
any misunderstandings people may
have regarding the UCC.
In April, Uttarakhand Chief Minister
Pushkar Dhami announced that a draft
proposal for the UCC was prepared.
He further mentioned that the state
government would present a final
report within the next two months.
The implementation of the UCC was
one of Dhami's promises during the
2022 assembly election campaign. In
May of the previous year, the
government had formed a five-member
committee headed by retired Supreme
Court Judge Ranjana Prakash Desai to
prepare the draft proposal for the
UCC's implementation in the state.
Dhami proudly stated that Uttarakhand
was the first state to announce the
UCC, with other states now following
suit.
One of the most significant advantages
of the UCC is that it would promote
gender equality by ensuring that all
citizens are treated equally under the
law. The current system of personal
laws often discriminates against
women, especially in matters of
marriage, divorce, and inheritance. The
UCC would bring about a much-
needed change in this regard by
ensuring that all citizens are treated
equally, irrespective of their gender.
Another benefit of the UCC is that it
would promote national unity by
eliminating the differences in personal
laws based on religion. This would
ensure that all citizens are governed by
the same set of laws and would lead to
greater social cohesion and unity.
Jawahar Lal Nehru once said, "The
UCC is a moral obligation for a
secular and democratic nation like
India." This statement is still relevant
today as India continues to be a diverse
country in terms of religion, culture,
and traditions.
While the UCC has the potential to
address issues of discrimination and
promote national unity, naysayers
argue that it would intrude upon
citizens' religious rights and cultural
diversity. India is a diverse country
with different religions, cultures, and
traditions. The UCC would require a
wide consensus and should be
approached with sensitivity.
It is important to strike a balance
between promoting gender equality
and preserving culture, religious
traditions, and constitutional values.
The government should ensure that
diversity in cultural and religious
practices is not compromised in the
name of bringing uniformity.
A well-formulated uniform civil code
should reflect the fundamental ideals of
secularism, justice, equality, and
fraternity. It should promote inclusivity
and protect the rights of all citizens.

Traditional vs. Modern Approaches

Bhagavad Gita, revolves around
spiritual growth, self-realization, and
the union of the individual soul with
the divine. It encompasses various
facets, including physical postures
(asanas), breathing exercises
(pranayama), meditation, and ethical
principles (Yama's and Niyama's).
Conversely, modern yoga often leans
towards physical fitness and well-
being, drawing inspiration from
ancient practice but with a focus on its
physical aspects. It adapts to
contemporary lifestyles, offering
accessibility and convenience to a
broader audience seeking yoga
primarily as a means of fitness, stress
reduction, or relaxation.
This juxtaposition of traditional and
modern yoga approaches sparks a
dialogue about the true essence of
yoga.

oga, the ancient practice that
Yharmonizes the body, mind,
and spirit, originates in the
Indus-Saraswati valley civilization
around 2700 BC. As the birthplace of
yoga, India has proudly preserved its
traditional teachings for centuries. In
its early days, yoga was a profound
path toward attaining Moksha, or
spiritual liberation.
However, in the contemporary era,
modern interpretations of yoga have
gained substantial prominence. This
shift from the ancient to the modern
creates a fascinating dichotomy in
yoga education, prompting essential
questions about the fundamental nature
of this timeless practice.
The traditional approach to yoga,
deeply rooted in ancient scriptures like
the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the

Ultimately, yoga remains a versatile
and transformative practice, with its
essence transcending the boundaries of
time and interpretation, providing
individuals with a pathway to holistic
well-being and spiritual discovery.
Age-Old Yoga Practices
Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras of
Patanjali Traditional yoga education in
India is based on the enduring wisdom
found in ancient writings. It focuses on
the spiritual and philosophical aspects
of yoga, focusing on self-realization,
enlightenment, and the union of the
individual soul with the divine.
In traditional yoga education, students
typically spend years under the
guidance of experienced gurus or
yogis, immersing themselves in a
holistic approach that encompasses
physical postures (asanas), breathing
exercises (pranayama), meditation, and
ethical principles (Yama and Niyama).
This inclusive system strives to
develop not solely physical health but
also mental clarity and spiritual
consciousness.
The traditional approach often involves
a rigorous daily routine, strict dietary
guidelines, and a commitment to a
disciplined lifestyle. It values the
lineage and wisdom passed down
through generations and emphasizes
the teacher-student relationship as a
sacred bond.
New-Age Yoga Training
Modern yoga education, on the other
hand, has evolved to suit contemporary
lifestyles and demands. It has been
influenced by Western fitness trends
and often focuses primarily on physical
postures and exercise. This approach is
more accessible and convenient for
individuals seeking yoga as a means of
fitness, stress relief, or relaxation.
Both traditional and modern yoga
educators can promote a deeper
understanding of yoga's rich history
and philosophy. This can help
practitioners connect with the spiritual
essence of yoga while enjoying its
physical benefits.
Yoga educators can adopt a
personalized approach, tailoring their
teachings to meet the unique needs and
goals of their students. This ensures
that yoga remains an adaptable and
inclusive practice.
Conclusion
Yoga education in India is at a
crossroads, with traditional and
modern approaches offering distinct
paths to the practice. Rather than
viewing this as a division, it is an
opportunity to enrich the practice of
yoga. By acknowledging the value in
both traditional and modern teachings,
practitioners can create a balanced and
holistic yoga experience that fosters
physical health, mental well-being, and
spiritual growth.
Ultimately, the essence of yoga lies in
its ability to transform lives positively.
Whether one embraces the traditional
or modern approach, what truly matters
is the intention behind the practice – a
journey towards self-discovery, inner
peace, and a harmonious connection
with the world around us. Yoga, in all
its forms, remains a powerful tool for
personal growth and holistic well-
being, treating mind and soul of
Indians and beyond.
In modern yoga education, classes are
typically structured around physical
poses and alignment, with less
emphasis on the spiritual and
philosophical aspects. Teachers often
follow standardized curricula and
certification programs, allowing for a
more formalized and easily replicable
approach to teaching yoga.
Modern yoga education also
incorporates a wide range of yoga
styles and hybrids, such as power yoga,
hot yoga, and aerial yoga, catering to
diverse preferences and fitness goals. It
is often marketed as a means of
improving flexibility, strength, and
overall well-being.
Crafting an All-Encompassing
Method
The divide between traditional and
modern yoga approaches need not be a
stark one. In fact, many practitioners
and educators are working to bridge
this gap and create a holistic yoga
experience that blends the best of both
worlds.
Yoga, as a practice that adapts to
individual needs, can coexist with
diverse approaches. Modern yoga can
serve as an entry point for newcomers,
offering accessibility and familiarity. It
can then lead students to explore the
deeper dimensions of yoga found in
traditional teachings.
Modern yoga can incorporate
mindfulness practices and breathing
techniques from traditional yoga to
foster mental and emotional well-being
alongside physical fitness.
Modern yoga practitioners can honor
and respect the wisdom of traditional
lineages, recognizing that
contemporary interpretations are built
upon a foundation of ancient
knowledge.
