"Begin the day with love, spend the day with love, fill the day with love, end the day with love. That is the way to God.”

This is the relaxation and Meditation lullaby that ends the Yoga class under Swami BuaJi, who founded the Indo-American Yoga Vedanta Society in New York 45 year ago, and brought the practice of Hatha Yoga to America. SwamiJi lived well beyond the age of 100 years and the only yoga master who has been conferred with the title “Master of Hatha Yoga “(M.H.Y.) by Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh. He has traveled extensively throughout the world including Iran, Europe, Canada, Panama, and Brazil teaching and lecturing the philosophy of Yoga.  SwamiJi was a Personal Guru to his students and considers them part of his family. He often cooked and shared food with the students and helped them with their problems and even performed or attended their weddings. Bijoy’s style of teaching Yoga starts with remembering his Guru and leading a chant of an auspicious Mantra followed by the practice of a Mudra and PranaYama breathing. The yoga session consists of a unique series created by SwamiJi starting with “Surya Namaskar” (Sun Salutation) followed by Asanas. The class ends with a Relaxation and Meditation Prayer of SwamiJi.
