ABOUT ME

Yoga Guru Dr Surakshit Goswami: A Life Dedicated to Healing 
 
From the hallowed city of Haridwar, where the holy Ganga coming down from the Himalayas, washes the banks as an act of cultural ablution, a boy learnt yoga; actually he sought truth in the ancient Indian art of healing. Over the years it remained not just learning, but a process of merging into the world of yoga. Still young, the yogi earned recognition, and those afflicted and suffering, came from all over the world to seek his cure for their maladies.

Today that boy from the ghats of Haridwar is an institution and revered by millions as the Yoga Guru; for those who have seen him closely he is Surakshitji, and to the outside word – Yogacharya Dr Surakshit Goswami. Some of the most influential and powerful people in India are among Dr Goswami’s followers. He appears on television regularly and writes about yoga in some of the leading newspapers in the country. For him yoga is part of a spiritual quest and also a therapy, curing people of their strange maladies. Where Dr Goswami is different from some other highly visible yoga gurus is his humility. Steeped in the atmik  tradition of Haridwar, he wears modesty both as his crown and armour. Documentaries have been made about him and his interviews telecast in many countries, but he seems to be completely oblivious about all that.

Today Dr Goswami is one of the most sought-after healers offering answers to the sickness of the modern world. He has been spearheading a yoga and spiritual movement for the youths in India. He is the first yoga guru who has studied the subject as a discipline and obtained a Masters degree and PhD.  In a career spanning about 30 years, he has conducted about 3,800 workshops and delivered lectures all over India.       
   
Dr. Goswami began a programme of  therapy–based yoga at a centre in Haridwar way back in 1991. Till date  he has treated approximately 27,000 cases of backache, 19,500 cases of neck pain, 21,500 diabetes patients and 34,000 obesity cases and another 25,000 patients of stress. He has taught yoga and spirituality to members of the judiciary, senior administrators, scientists, business magnets, corporate honchos, public figures, celebrities, doctors, journalists and other professionals. Interestingly, among his patients are scientists from DRDO, senior officers of the armed forces, paramilitary personnel, CBI officers and senior officials of police forces in a few states.
