Dr Swami Satya Prakash

Asian Star Newspaper; The Link; Canadian Times Published the following:

Dr Swami Satya Prakash is a scholar, an ascetic, a seer, a yogi, a saint, a superb musician, a composer, an eloquent speaker and a visionary.

Born on the auspicious Maha Shivratri day in 1958 near Haridwar, Swamiji spent most part of his life in Kashi. He was drawn to spirituality at an early age. He holds a Ph.D degree in Classical Music from Benaras Hindu University. Due to his exceptionally brilliant accomplishments in the sphere of music he was conferred with Lata Mangeshkar Award.

To get deep insight into spiritual knowledge, inherited from our ancient saints and seers, he did Master’s degree in Philosophy with distinction for being first class first in the faculty. He is a practicing Yogi with Diploma in Yoga in Medical Sciences and is a great “Yogacharya”.

In addition to getting formal education he followed the ancient tradition of being disciple of great Gurus. He learnt Sanskrit from Guru Pattabhiram Shastri and Pandit Rampreeti Upadhyay and music from great Gurus especially Pandit Ajit Bhattacharya and Pandit Mahadev Mishr of Kashi. Even he received his knowledge from Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Kanchi Mutt. He did Sadhna at the bank of Holy river Ganga at Gangotri, Rishikesh where he completed recitation Gayatri Purascharana. In 2006 on the occasion of Virat Sant Sammelan (Prodigious Congregation of Saints), in the presence of Gurus from Kashi, Haridwar, Kanchi, Dwarka, Ujjain, Ayodhya, Mathura and many great intellectuals from all over India, the title of “Jagadguru” was conferred on him meaning Global Guru-the embodiment of knowledge and wisdom for the world. Though the title was meant for him, yet with humility he said the world is his Guru. In fact, in 1990, he was asked to become the Shankracharya of the Jagannath Peeth which he did not take up. He has the honor of translating holy Guru Granth Sahib into Sanskrit.

His fame is not confined to India and has followers all over the world who constantly interact with him through his Blog, Facebook, Skype, Youtube, on the phone and through his international visits. He initially came to Canada as an invitee of the North American Hindu Association on Dharma Studies to participate in a World Conference organized by Dr Arvind Sharma, the Head of Comparative Religious Studies in McGill University, Montreal. During his 2008-2009 visit to Canada he addressed large devotional congregation in places like Rogers Centre and Hindu Heritage Centre in Toronto and in well known temples in many cities of Ontario like Ram Mandir, Vaishnav Devi Mandir, Swami Narayan Mandir, Sant Gyneshwar Mandir Vedic Arogya Mandir, Hindu Mandir and Sathya Sai Baba Centre in Montreal, Quebec.

A glow of divinity always surrounds his very being. I haven’t ever seen a streak of anger on his calm, composed and tranquil face. Instinctively one feels like touching his feet out of sheer reverence when he/she comes closer to him. If you log on your computer and make a google search on Dr Swami Satya Prakash, the search will reveal you what I couldn’t give you in this short biographical sketch.

Biographical Sketch by Krishan Bector

What People Say about Swamiji….

" Swami Satya Prakash is a Great realized soul and an outstanding Bharatiya in all respect of the term.

He is a great Yogi, Tapasvi,very knowledgeble, well-read with a massive academic background behind him.

He is a Great Tapasvi, a Great Yogi, a Great Muni, possessor of great knowledge and wisdom of Bharatiya culture, deeply well-read in all the holy scriptures, Vedas, Vedangas and many others.

Above all, he means to all people all things. Always in a hillarious and happy mood. His very prescence is a solace to people who have some kinds of difficulties in them.

His very presence is rejuvenating and helpful to weed away our difficulties and our discomforts. His knowledge of the Shastras is so deep that he can recall back anything suitably with a figurative approach.

Everyone is able to appreciate his upanyaasas, his discources because of the way in which he puts things very logically scientifically rationally and principally.

He brings happiness and divine atmosphere to a place where ever he goes.

His beautiful lectures on Asanas give us a deep understanding on how Asanas and different postures relieve our mental tensions, pressure etc.

People are indeed awe struck by the way in which he physically tells us how to proceed with Asanas to develop every human being in their full grown individual.

Much more than that the unique phenomena of him is that he never gets angry with anybody he comes in contact with whatsoever way.

He never asks for anything

Swamiji has an elegant and elite presence, the kind of divinity personification.

His ideas encompass all divisions of human knowledge.

He is very rational, logical and philosophical in his approaches.

He has his own set ideals but never in his lectures or conversations, he never pushes any of these things into anybody's throats. That is his marvellous splendour.

We have been blessed by his presence".
