Founder

Dear Readers, Scholars & Friends,

Karry Ann North(Vishnupriya), born in USA, decided to come to India on a spiritual mission. She is associated with the Satyachetana Ashram, situated in Tiruvannamali, Chennai as a spiritual guide & leader. Her wonderful book ‘Yogi Road Trip: A Deep Drive Through Gita Yoga’ is a fascinating journey of life which conjugates both tenses simultaneously: the past and the present. If the past is the remote locations & treasure houses of nature of South West America described in her book in a magical fashion, the present is the yogic quest of self-discovery, humming the quintessential song of divine life. After 22 years of marriage and 20 years in Satyachetana Ashram, two yogis, i.e. Hon’ble Vishnupriya & Hon’ble Vishnu Das drive from Napa, California to Taos, New Mexico on a spiritual vacation that ends with a stunning transcendent beginning. Set in the pure magnificence of the American Southwest and jointly illuminated by the inner fire of aspiration and spectacular desert sunrises, this singular pair balances laid-back cruising with intensive high-gear sadhana (yogic practice). Just like Krishna's chariot in the Bhagavad Gita, their Lexus carries them through the eternal battle in consciousness that every yogi must face, compelled to stand up against the forces of attachment, attraction, repulsion, desire, ego and delusion. The book speaks directly to seekers, yogis and anyone that has ever felt the inner spark and wondered how to take the next step—or whether they might be crazy for thinking like that in the first place—or sought ways to gain spiritual awakening in their day to day lives in today's delirious world.
