Bihar School of Yoga, located at Ganga Darshan Vishwa Yogapeeth, Munger, is the karma bhumi of Sri Satyananda Saraswati, chosen and declared by him to be the epicenter of the yogic renaissance in the 21st century. It was in Munger that Sri Swami Satyananda had the revelation that he would fulfil the mandate of his guru Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati, by creating a fellowship of yoga, and devote himself to the elevation of human consciousness by disseminating the light of yoga.
The eternal flame, the akhand jyoti lit over fifty years ago in Munger continues to burn bright in Jyoti Mandir and all witness the flowering of Swami Satyananda’s prophecy that ‘Yoga will become the culture of tomorrow.’ Bihar School of Yoga is a spiritual lighthouse, illuminating, revealing and teaching the ancient wisdom of yoga for the benefit of people across the globe.
