Roshan |
Phone: 07530844481 |
Roshan was born in 1970 to an Indian Family. He grew up in Hong Kong and now lives in the UK with his wife and two children. He has held a career in the field of Environmental Pollution Treatment, in which he holds a Doctorate.
Roshan's search for a spiritual path and fascination with the great Being Mahavatar Babaji led him to Kriya Yoga from a very early age. In time he was invited to teach in three different Kriya Yoga schools from the Vaishnava, Nath and Siddha Traditions. He says, “I found the techniques to vary in the different schools and the speed of progress was also very different. From my own experience, Atma Kriya has been the most powerful and progressive practice and also the best suited for householders. Atma Kriya is very effective at opening up the heart and third eye chakras. The resulting unconditional love that arises becomes a catalyst for the Atma Kriya techniques. That is why it is such an effective system. An open heart is very much needed in the world in these times”.
He adds, "When you are ready to surrender your ego, open up your heart and begin to recognize the presence of the Divine in every moment of your life, that is when you can start to understand your purpose in life. That is when inspiration can flow, you can communicate with your higher Self and become an instrument in the hands of the Divine”. Roshan has always felt the guiding hand of Mahavatar Babaji in his spiritual and material life and it is His Grace that has brought him to Atma Kriya. "Sri Swami Vishwananda has been an amazing presence in my life. He is full of love, compassion, patience and understanding, and it is humbling to have been asked by Him to teach Atma Kriya".
Roshan is committed to helping others enhance the quality of their life through the practice of Atma Kriya. Roshan is based in London, England. If you would like to contact Roshan for any reason please email: roshan.uk@atmakriya.org

Dhanashri first discovered Yoga 14 years ago on the banks of the river Ganges in the holy city of Rishikesh, India and immediately knew she had found what she was looking for. She became a qualified Yoga teacher in Mysore, India, and studied many alternative therapies whilst traveling around the world.
Dhanashri’s interest in meditation and Kriya Yoga began in 1998 after reading Autobiography of a Yogi .She has been blessed with many wonderful teachers (from east and west) eventually meeting the guiding light in her life Swami Vishwananda who gave her the spiritual name Dhanashri and initiated her to become an Atma Kriya Yoga Teacher and also led Om Healing meditation groups.
For Dhanashri her practice is not confined to a yoga mat – it permeates her whole life. She has found that the timeless principles of Yoga sometimes confront us with uncomfortable truths, but when we accept the challenge we are provided with unprecedented opportunities for growth.
Dhanashri is based in Reigate, Surrey at Yoga Ananda Hoplistic Centre www.yogaananda.co.uk where she teaches daily Yoga classes, weekly meditation and Om Healing sessions and workshops.

Gautami
Gautami has a natural healing practice in Essex and has been working in the field of complimentary therapy for over 10 years. She increasingly found that after a few treatments working on health issues and their emotional origins, her clients began to need something deeper to take with them into their everyday lives to bring about transformation at a fundamental level.
As an Atma Kriya practitioner herself, she had witnessed her own transformational process since she began practising the technique and wanted to share this opportunity for personal growth with others.
Although Kim (Gautami) was born into a spiritual family where meditation was part of daily life, she chose to explore the (much) wilder side of life until she reached her twenties and realised that money and partying were not satisfying her Soul. After a spell travelling in Asia and some time spent with Holy men, Kim began to become aware that the source of her highest potential was actually within her and that true joy was not to be found through external experiences or material possessions. In 2006 she found the great teacher she had been looking for in the form of Swami Vishwananda, who gave her the spiritual name Gautami and eventually initiated her as an Atma Kriya Teacher.
Gautami believes that Atma Kriya is one of the highest forms of healing available to mankind today and is committed to helping people learn how to be happy and at peace beyond the passing of experiences and tribulations of life.
Gautami organises Mind Body Spirit Events across East Anglia where she runs free-of-charge Om Healing Workshops. She also teaches Atma Kriya and Simply Meditation courses quarterly throughout the UK, with her focus being in the East Anglian area. She is available at gautami@atmakriya.org or call 07592 575666
