The great seer and saint Shri Kartikeyaji was born in a highly respected and distinguished Brahmana family of Uttar Pradesh, a State in Northern India. Even in his early days he gave ample and unmistakable signs of a promising genius. He was gifted with a faculty of prescience, and as a small boy he was able to recite great Sanskrit classics like the epic Mahabharata with a perfect ease and scholarly fluency. He surprised everybody by chanting the famous and sacred incantations of the Gayatri-Mantra on his own, though he was never taught it. Still a child, he left home and roamed about amongst the desolate peaks of the Himalayas, like those of Kailasha, and visited places like Lake Manasarovar, which for centuries of the hoary past have been the abodes and the seats of the mystics and the votaries of spiritual practices. A visit in the shrine of Badrinath inspired him unequivocally to dedicate his life to the service and uplift of mankind.<br />
During his lifetime Maharshi Kartikeyaji toured extensively throughout the length and breadth of India and benefited countless number of persons. In the year 1953 he finally reached Ayodhya, the birth-place of Lord Rama, where on the bank of river Sarayu, while the evening-prayer was on, he entered into Maha-Samadhi, sitting in Siddhasana before a large gathering. It is generally believed that he was 335 years old at that time.

Fundamental Yoga-Practice handed down from Maharshi Kartikeya and Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari to their disciple Reinhard Gammenthaler.<br />
The exercises can prevent and cure diseases, but they are even more valuable in imparting positive health in the form of increased energy and well-being, which no system of medicine can do.<br />
It is now being recognised that the mind and the body interact and influence each other. Yoga maintains that farreaching effects can be produced by the effect of the mind. This affects not only the physical health of the body but may even overflow into states which are beyond the average, normal experience. This does not mean that these are miraculous or abnormal on any score. But it does mean that the true limits of &ldquo;normal&rdquo; are hardly realised by most people. The greater part of humanity has for generations adopted a basic level of existence and has unknowingly accepted a maimed, crippled existence as normal.<br />
Yoga affords an opportunity for a bold departure from this limitation. However, it must be realised that dealing as they do with matters of far-reaching and vital importance, the yogic practices require the outmost precision and the care due to them.<br />
It is, therefore, essential that a capable teacher or Guru introduces the students to the exciting mysteries of Yoga to obtain maximum benefit.

A spiritual genius of commanding intellect and power, Vivekananda crammed immense labor and achievement into his short life, 1863-1902. Born in the Datta family of Calcutta, the youthful Vivekananda embraced the agnostic philosophies of the Western mind along with the worship of science. <br />
At the same time, vehement in his desire to know the truth about God, he questioned people of holy reputation, asking them if they had seen God. He found such a person in Sri Ramakrishna, who became his master, allayed his doubts, gave him God vision, and transformed him into sage and prophet with authority to teach. <br />
After Sri Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda renounced the world and criss-crossed India as a wandering monk. His mounting compassion for India's people drove him to seek their material help from the West. Accepting an opportunity to represent Hinduism at Chicago's Parliament of Religions in 1893, Vivekananda won instant celebrity in America and a ready forum for his spiritual teaching. <br />
For three years he spread the Vedanta philosophy and religion in America and England and then returned to India to found the Ramakrishna Math and Mission. Exhorting his nation to spiritual greatness, he wakened India to a new national consciousness. He died July 4, 1902, after a second, much shorter sojourn in the West. His lectures and writings have been gathered into nine volumes.
