As the Bihar School of Yoga moves forward into the 2020s decade and the Second Chapter of Yoga, dedicated to the development, understanding and experience of yoga vidya, we take this opportunity to recognize, honour and appreciate the contribution of the sannyasins of the first generation whose dedication to the mission of Sri Swami Satyananda enabled the spread of yoga around the globe.
With their tireless commitment to the propagation of yoga, they provided inspiration and encouragement to all aspirants. They led the way in whatever area of yoga propagation they were active – whether through their teaching, the translation of yoga publications, the spirit of their connection and the direction they gave to take yoga from door to door and shore to shore.
With heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for their contribution, we have also bid farewell to Swami Shankarananda, Swami Gyanbhikshu, Swami Satyakamananda, Swami Satyadharma, Rishi Vivekananda, Swami Satyaprakash, Swami Omananda, Swami Nirvikalpananda, Swami Omkarmurti, Kamal Mukhi, Swami Agnihotri, Swami Prakashananda, Rishi Nityabodhananda, Swami Yogashikshananda, Swami Rishitirtham, Swami Guruprem, Swami Pragyamurti and others.
Let the effort, dedication and achievement of these pioneers of Satyananda Yoga be the inspiration to those who follow.
We hope that with sincerity, seriousness and commitment the new generation will honour the foundation and inspiration they received at the beginning of their own journey of yoga.
Om Tat Sat.

The power of hope and faith shines most brightly in the darkest of times. The simple hope of today, that life will be better tomorrow, can become a guiding light and a force of illumination. The ability to change, to improve and to transform lies within every person, and this transformative force is enhanced through yogavidya. Yogavidya is the catalyst for positive change in life. Now we have ample time to apply the principles of a yogic lifestyle in our daily routine, to help, support and inspire each other to attain physical and psychological health and wellbeing, and ignite the flame of hope and positivity all around.
For the benefit of people across the globe, following the inspiration of Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati, Bihar School of Yoga is pleased to release a complete yoga lifestyle capsule, with techniques of sanyam, yamas, niyamas, chantings, asanas, pranayamas, relaxation, japa and meditation.

The International Day of Yoga represents the international recognition that yoga has gained as a holistic approach to physical wellbeing, mental peace and emotional balance. Across the globe, millions of people have embraced yoga to attain health and harmony, and to explore their inner potential. The acceptance of the International Day of Yoga, with a record consensus vote at the United Nations General Assembly, was a historic moment for India. The openness and enthusiasm with which the world community has embraced yoga and the collective goodwill that yoga has inspired, is a matter of great happiness and joy which all can share.
This day is of special importance for the Satyananda Yoga tradition, as it marks the fruition of the vakya, the vision and the prophecy of Swami Satyananda Saraswati, when in 1963 he proclaimed: “Yoga will emerge as a mighty world culture and change the course of world events.”
For the occasion of the fifth International Day of Yoga, Bihar School of Yoga has produced a brochure outlining the program which will be conducted in the homes and villages of Munger, the City of Yoga. This program can be viewed here in Hindi and English.
On 21 st June 2019, Bihar School of Yoga was selected for the Prime Minister’s Award for Outstanding Contribution for Promotion and Development of Yoga, in the national institution category. It is with great pleasure that we share the news of this award bestowed in recognition of the work of Bihar School of Yoga.
While the award has been given to Bihar School of Yoga, the real recipients are Sri Swami Sivananda and Sri Swami Satyananda, the spiritual luminaries who had the vision of yoga, and dedicated their lives to the realization of that vision. The seed of yoga vidya that Sri Swami Satyananda sowed in Munger over fifty years ago, today has brought forth a bountiful harvest, providing spiritual and yogic sustenance to countless thousands across the globe.
We recognise and appreciate the effort, enthusiasm and commitment of yoga aspirants, spiritual seekers and supporters. It is that dedication which has protected, nourished and watered the seed of yoga vidya. Over the decades Sri Swamiji’s vision has become a reality in the lives of many, who have been inspired to apply the yoga teachings in their own lives, and who have also inspired others.
Through effort and commitment the seeds are watered, and with the light of inspiration and enthusiasm they will continue to grow. As Bihar School of Yoga enters its second chapter of yoga, holding the yoga vision of Sri Swamiji before us, it is our heartfelt hope and prayer that all seekers may be uplifted and benefitted by the fruits of yoga in their lives.
