On his seventh Birthday, he stood as a boy holding his father’s hand in front of a real Yogi named M P Pundit who resided along the streets of Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry and dedicated his services as the secretary to the Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram. No one remembers the questions he had then, but he never forgot a strong reply, an answer, a sentence that shaped and sculptured his life path. After learning the boy’s name as Aravind Prasad, the yogi declared him as “The Real Prasad” touching the boy’s forehead. The word Prasad means a sacred offering, a gift returned from a divine offering. That was the promising moment for his father Vedam Viswanathan and his Mother Lalitha to nurture him towards being a human who can contribute to the society.  

Today the boy is Yogacharya Aravind Prasad, Founder of Samyut Yoga, an International Yoga Teacher Training Institute in Mysore. His story is not just of ritualistic studies and religious mastery. It is the story of a quest to unify the theories of Life and transform them into an answer for all Modern Queries about Life and its problems. 

In a world where Vedanta has become a distance philosophy of practice; Tantra a mere collection of rituals and sexual workshops and Yoga is reduced as a sport, a fitness activity, a festival to be celebrated for a day and physical postures, Yogacharya Aravind Prasad’s effort to synthesize the philosophy of Vedanta, the psychology of Tantra, and the Practice of Yoga is becoming a masterful alchemy that transforms the scattered modern anxiety into a unified path of health happiness and harmony which in turn can churn the aspiration of human metamorphosis.  

Aravind’s life began just as any other normal boy. But his journey is a testament of Innovation, Unification and transformation. The most expected power cuts of 90’s, were his joyful time of listening to spiritual stories from his father and grandparents. The front courtyard of his house was his initial classroom of Indic Scriptures and Mystical Science of Yoga. This early nurturing sparked a hunger that NCERT’s syllabus couldn’t satisfy.  

At an age when most pay for their admissions in a reputed college, Aravind Prasad, embarked on a different path. He entered a traditional gurukulam and dedicated his six years of life to learn the secrets of Veda, Vedanta, Yoga, and Tantra. Imagine the dawn hours not marked by alarms but by the chanting of Sanskrit Verses from Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita. Vedanta, Yoga and Tantra was no more an ancient lost wisdom. They became a great source code to develop a new matrix of Life. His post-graduation from a Yoga University in Bangalore, his research on Gayatri Mantra, His questionnaires on Yogic Mind Mapping and Personality Analysis are all great examples of practical implementation of his philosophical and psychological approach to the mystical and yogic scriptures.  

His dedication and contributions led him to countries from South America to Indonesia. It was when he decided to return to India that the seed of Transformation was planted. He saw that the world wasn’t lacking information on wellness; it was drowning in it. What it lacked was coherence—a unifying map that could guide seekers from confusion to clarity, from limited mindset to a sense of unity.  

When the world today is facing war like situation, Yogacharya Aravind Prasad has silently trained more than 2000 yoga teachers from 80 different countries across the globe in the span of past 16+ years. He is a living example of an alchemist from Mysore who is silently transforming wisdom of Unity as a lifestyle that Bharat speaks and practices as Sanatana Dharma. 

Yogacharya Aravind Prasad is proving to be a living ecosystem of unifying the concepts of Yoga with a scientific approach that has transformed the very idea of Life for many. He uses the Philosophy of Vedanta as the navigator, Psychology of Tantra as the vehicle and practices of Yoga as the road to show the path for the modern mind that is being pulled in a hundred directions. 

One of the most significant challenges for any authentic Yoga Mentor is the prevailing market trend toward commodification and rapid certification. The modern wellness industry often favors short, convenient, and physically-focused programs over the demanding, integrative, and time-intensive Gurukulam model that Samyut Yoga embodies without compromising the international certification standards that the world needs as an acknowledgement for their dedicated efforts and learning. 

Samyut Yoga is a world that Yogacharya Aravind Prasad wants everyone to embrace who seek health happiness and harmony in Life. Yogacharya Aravind Prasad, as a Yoga and wellness Mentor has trained and initiated few well-known Industrialists in Mumbai into the path of Yoga. He has conducted retreats, workshops, camps and Internationally accredited Yoga Teacher Training Programs. Samyut Yoga is one among the most popular Yoga institutes across the globe recognized and accredited by Yoga Alliance from USA.  

His life experience taught him how humiliations, failures and rejections were also his greatest Gurus who taught him humility, acceptance and transformation. Today, Yogacharya Aravind Prasad stands at a fascinating crossroads of time. Behind him stretches the unbroken lineage of gurus who blessed his path. Before him lies a confused world desperately in need of a lifestyle transformation that he embodies. Samyut Yoga is his bridge. 

His advice to any aspiring healer or teacher echoes his own journey: “Become a sincere student before you become a teacher. Live your wisdom before you preach it. And always, always honor the ancient wisdom of Life that brought you here.”  

Yogacharya Aravind Prasad is being invited by many International Yoga Institutes, Corporate training programs and Wellness Workshops across India and Abroad for curated Yoga Teacher Training Programs, Workshops and Retreats on Vedanta, Tantra and Yoga.  

The future of the yoga and wellness industry points towards greater integration of mind and body, science and spirituality, and Eastern wisdom with Western lifestyles. The very word Samyut means unification and integration.  There will be a growing divide between commodified fitness-yoga and profound, life-system yoga. Samyut Yoga is perfectly positioned to thrive as a leader in the latter category. 

Yogacharya Aravind Prasad’s plan is to be the definitive global source for integrated, traditional yoga education. He will continue to: 

Lead with his unique integral approach as the main differentiator. 

Strengthen his unified model of immersive Mysore trainings and deep-dive online courses. 

Cultivate and train selective yoga aspirants as ambassadors who carry this unified approach into the world, organically growing their reputation and impact. 

He is interested in collaborations and invited programs to enhance the quality of any activity that matches the activities of Wellness and Well Being. You can contact him through his website www.samyutyoga.com or through his Instagram Handle.
