Founder and Spiritual Director, Yogi Vishnu Panigrahi brings a deeply rooted spiritual presence to every teaching he shares. Raised in a Brahmin family in a village in western Odisha, he grew up in the sacred atmosphere of the small Radha-Krishna temple built by his grandfather. From an early age, he was surrounded by devotion, service, and the living wisdom of visiting sadhus, whose stories of practice and renunciation helped shape his path.
Today, he travels widely to share yoga, meditation, and inner-faith teachings with students from many backgrounds. At Samadhi Yoga Ashram, he remains devoted to guiding disciples with clarity and care, supporting them on the journey toward self-awakening. His approach reflects a lifelong commitment to spiritual discipline, heartfelt service, and the transformative power of inner practice.
