He was a widely recognized authority on the ancient scriptures of Yoga and Vedanta, a medical doctor, scholar, prolific writer, a master of the Sanskrit language, teacher, healer and friend to all until his passing from the physical body in 1993.

From 1978 through 1992, the Yoga Society operated the International School of Massage Therapy. From 1979 through 1983 the ashram was home to the legendary music master Swami Nadabrahmananda . We continue this tradition of offering a variety of spiritual and healing studies.
