Autor/-in: Darin Somma Yogeshwar

At age 4, Darin discovered his life purpose when his mother told him he had to do something to make the world a better place. At age 8, he had determined the best way to help the world was to discover the truth. His introduction to yoga āsana came at college where he pursued degrees in mathematics, philosophy, psychology, and physics. He met his first teacher who came to the same college after healing himself of a fatal disease through Bishnu Ghosh yoga. Darin deepened his study through years of lived practice, spending extended periods in residence at the monasteries of Venerable Thích Nhất Hạnh and Śrī Swami Satchidānanda, followed by nearly a year on pilgrimage through India. In 2003, he encountered the living presence of Divine Mother, Her Holiness Amma Śrī Karuṇāmayī - revered saint and Vedic master. He served for six years on Amma's U. S. tour, and Amma blessed him to teach a special ten-āsana practice for spiritual evolution. He has taught yoga and meditation in Washington, D. C. since 2001. He is the author of Yoga is Union: The Yoga of Amma Śrī Karuṇāmayī, which has reached thousands of practitioners and inspired study circles around the world. Final Surrender is his second book. He teaches at sriyoga. com.
