I really love sharing as much as I can of the spiritual inspiration and bliss that meditation and yoga brought into my own life with those hungry for personal and planetary transformation. I am inexpressibly grateful and indebted to my spiritual master for the extraordinary, luminous clarity that his teachings give me. I hope that I can give you some taste of the light of that wisdom.
It is truly an honor to be part of such an innovative team and project. I think the root of most of the problems humanity faces are due to narrow thinking, yet there is also a rising evolution of expanded consciousness. Just imagining how the world will be when a critical mass of people start meditating regularly gives me a lot of hope. This is the main aim of my life, to be a part of that rising tide.

My mission in life is to inspire as many people as possible to make their lives more joyful and meaningful. I feel blessed to be able to be in a role of helping others especially with regards to their hidden spiritual potentials. I have always experienced that what you give to others you receive the same or more in return.
I think the Meditation Steps project has found a modern way to present profound spiritual teachings in as simple and doable way as possible so that many people can be exposed to the idea of a more happy and fulfilling life.

My role as a yoga and meditation teacher is to encourage spiritual awareness in human society, while at the same time building up the awareness of the importance of ecological sustainability, shattering discrimination, and constructing a healthy and progressive life for all beings in this universe. Being constantly involved in the projects and programs of Meditation Steps, gives me more and more insights and motivation coming from the deeper level of my consciousness. For me, this is not just "Meditation Steps" but actually the Steps to A Happy World for ALL.

I wanted to become an acarya (yoga and meditation teacher) since I was a child. I always had a very strong urge to dedicate my life to something great. I wanted that my life should be not for myself, but for social service and helping others to come to the spiritual path.
Every person's life and journey is important, so what inspires me is feeling that I'm an instrument to make a difference in someone's life by giving enough time, love and attention to plant the seed of light in a person's heart and change their life for the better. Then hopefully one day the seed will sprout and they will pass it on to others.

My mission as a yoga and meditation teacher is the motto Self-realization and Service to the Universe (Átma mokśárthaḿ jagaddhitáya ca.)
Going deep into the meditation practice gives tremendous inspiration, a purpose in life and radiates a spiritual effulgence to everyone around us. My motivation to become a monk was to devote myself full-time to service, sharing the wisdom, practice, and resulting bliss that we give an introduction to in the Meditation Steps project. Spiritual Community in a beautiful natural environment has been a great inspiration and motivates me to organize meditation retreats where we can help people establish a spiritual lifestyle based on yoga, meditation, and kindness toward all beings.Through the Meditation Steps, you can get started with meditation, yoga, and a spiritual lifestyle. And if you like the contents of our channel, you can connect with us by learning individual meditation taught in person, attending retreats, volunteer opportunities, and local communities.

What people say about us
I have searched Youtube for spiritual inspiration and fortunately (one year ago) found the basic course of Meditationsteps. I had only attended 2 Hatha yoga courses before and the practice of meditation was still very new to me. But the basic course boosted my experience big time. I learned to interconnections between physical postures (aka asanas) sound (mantra recitation) and focus. It perfectly layed the foundation for my future practice.
Even today when I return to some the basic course videos I catch a new nuance which improves my experience overall.
Definitely a worthwhile investment of time and energy !

This happened to cross my path I have been watching it all day, so much useful information. I've been researching things throughout the last 4 years and this is by far one of my favorite things I have found.
Been looking for a long time for a good meditation course and videos. Love this site. Learnt so much and so much yet to learn. I keep listening to it again and again every few months and feel my understanding deepen. Thank you
Meditation Steps is a high-quality educational project. It is not just a study of meditation, but a comprehensive development in different areas of life. I am grateful to the project team for the inspiration that they give me and many thousands of others. I recommend.
I'm still a "baby" in meditation yoga, but I'm already noticing amazing things that are happening to me. Previously I had to resort to external sources to maintain a positive attitude: listen to music, watch a movie, talk to interesting people, read a book, tidy up around me, etc. In other words, I had to attract positive microvitas into my life. Nowadays, my own abilities are enough. I heard it so many times that there is a huge potential within every person, and that it is possible to help yourself in any situation. But I had no idea how to reach this potential… Thank you to meditation lessons! Independence from external factors is awesome!
Previously I worked on myself with the help of a psychologist for two and a half years, attended different trainings and one-on-one's. I now understand that I can do all of that myself with the help of meditation and yoga. I've made very noticeable progress during the first year, changed a lot within, started looking at things deeper, got rid of many fears and complexes, became more self-confident and also more kind. I am now almost constantly in a good mood, and even if there is a disbalance, I recover quickly. I now control my anger and other negative emotions. Meditating regularly, for the first time in my life, I felt a loving atmosphere, and it started to transform my psyche in a very positive way. I stopped being greedy, became more generous and I started feeling very good when helping someone. Thank you to the Meditation Lessons project.
Everything began with my birthday. To be exact, two weeks prior to it I found Dada's video on Youtube, an introduction to meditation. I watched it and felt how harmonious and calm he was. I also wanted to be more harmonious. So I started watching more of his videos, signed up for the mailing list. I became a vegetarian a week later. I've stopped eating pork a long time ago, but there was something missing to stop consuming animals. Also, after my first attempts, I felt such bliss! Indescribable. I am practicing to this day, and it's been over a year now.
