Dr. Keshava Murthy, M.Sc., PhD (Psy), M.Sc. (Yoga), M.A. (Sanskrit), M.A. (Advaita Philosophy), Reiki Master Teacher & Healer, Yoga Philosophy and Meditation Teacher, Spiritual Coach, is a respected spiritual teacher with deep roots in yoga, philosophy, and spirituality. Raised in a South Indian spiritual family, he was immersed in yogic and spiritual values from an early age.

Inspired by enlightened masters, he devoted himself to the study of Sanskrit, yoga, and philosophy. This journey eventually brought him to his spiritual master, H.H. Swamy Dayanandaji of the Himalayas, a distinguished teacher of Vedanta. For five years, Dr. Keshava trained rigorously in a Rishikesh monastery, studying Sanskrit, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita — the original source texts of yoga and philosophy — under Swami Dayanandaji and his senior disciples.

While in Rishikesh, he also studied yogic mysticism with the Himalayan spiritual master Swami Vedabharati, through whom he received initiation into meditation and the mystical tradition. Alongside his spiritual training, he pursued academic excellence, earning an M.Sc. and PhD in modern psychology. His doctoral research explored the interactive effects of emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence.

He later expanded his qualifications with an M.A. in Sanskrit, an M.A. in Advaita Vedanta philosophy, and an M.Sc. in Yoga and Mind Sciences. With more than 3,000 hours of teaching experience, Dr. Keshava has shared his knowledge in academic environments and yoga teacher training centers around the world. He has led over 100 yoga teacher training and meditation teacher training courses for seekers from many countries.

His teachings include yoga philosophy, meditation, pranayama, therapeutic yoga, the core teachings of original Tantra, Sanskrit language and poetry, and Vedic mantra chanting. He is committed to integrating ancient yogic spiritual wisdom, Advaita Vedanta philosophy, and modern scientific perspectives from psychology and quantum physics, with the intention of fostering peace and harmony in contemporary society.

As a psychologist and spiritual therapist, Dr. Keshava also supports alternative healing and ancient energy-channeling practices. He is a certified master healer in the Dr. Usui system of Reiki healing and actively teaches Reiki and pranic healing. Living a monastic life, he dedicates himself to yoga, meditation, and spirituality, offering both group sessions and private one-on-one sessions designed to support deep transformation and a more peaceful, meaningful, and blissful life.
