This month’s front cover features a new artistic perspective of our revered Siddha Guru Srila Sri Shankara Giri Swamigal who brought Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri to the Sri Kambaliswamy Madam. We celebrate this June the 27th anniversary of his Maha Samadhi in 1995. Swamiji who lived to be 95 years of age, was the epitome of the Shaiva Siddhanta Siddha Lineage of Maharishi Agastya and had amazing healing powers. He was a major influence in young Ananda’s life and inculcated in him deeply spiritual teachings of Tamil Shaivism. Our other covers feature events related to the International Day of Yoga celebrations being organised at Pondicherry. The Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India has launched the Yoga Mahotsav 2022, a 100-day countdown for the 8th International Day of Yoga.
