Dr. Basu Ray was born in a middle class Bengali family in Kolkata, India. From a young age he was keenly interested in knowing the secrets of this universe and the entity called ‘God’. This led him to read most of Indian religious and spiritual literature particularly writings of Swami Vivekananda and Maharishi Aurobindo. He has been practicing meditation from the age of six years.
At the core of our organization’s philosophy is the belief in holistic healing. We understand that true wellness encompasses more than just physical fitness; it encompasses mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual alignment. Through our yoga classes, workshops, and retreats, we offer a comprehensive approach to well-being that addresses the needs of the whole person.
Central to our mission is the integration of spiritual guidance into our yoga practice. Our experienced instructors not only teach yoga postures but also provide insights into the spiritual principles underlying each practice. Through guided meditation, breathwork, and mindfulness techniques, we help individuals connect with their inner selves and tap into a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.
We believe that the journey towards spiritual wellness is best undertaken in a supportive community. That’s why we foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where individuals from all walks of life can come together to explore their spiritual path. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi, you’ll find a supportive community of like-minded individuals who share your commitment to personal growth and spiritual awakening.
Dr. Basu Ray had the awesome chance to meet many famous gurus in India back then. He officially joined the Kriya Yoga tradition in 1990, under the guidance of Swami Hariharananda Giri, a top-notch master from a powerful meditation lineage. Kriya Yoga’s got some heavy hitters like Mahaavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, and Paramhansa Yogananda – it’s like the Avengers of ancient yoga! Apart from Kriya Yoga, Dr. Basu Ray also dabbled in other meditation methods like Vipassana, just to see what’s out there. Nowadays, he’s all about spreading the meditation love through lectures and workshops, blending Vedanta philosophy with modern science.
His sessions aren’t just for monks – they’re for regular folks and even doctors worldwide, showing how meditation can keep you healthy and stress-free. He’s been a guest speaker at tons of places, from universities to corporate gigs, preaching the gospel of stress reduction, disease prevention, and career success through meditation. Plus, he’s whipped up a neat little meditation hack for anyone looking to chill out and live their best life.
