That gave him the opportunity to learn Sanskrit, the spiritual scriptures and the inner science from an early age. He spent lots of time in different Ashrams and absorbed the original forms of Tantra Yoga. Later, he studied and worked in Krishnamurti’s school. This gave him a deep understanding about the network of thought and the way out of it through awakening the capacity to just observe and listen to one’s mind without any judgement and identification. Rishi then went on to study with Himalayan Yoga Masters and modern Gurus from south India such as Patabhi Jois and B.K.S. Iyengar. He is a life long disciple of the enlightened master Osho and spent several years in Osho’s community. He translated many Osho books from Hindi to English during his Work as Meditation program at Osho International Meditation Resort. Rishi travelled to Europe, America and many Asian countries extensively and taught traditional Tantra and Yoga in their original form. According to Rishi, the radical transformation in his being started taking place during ‘Work as Meditation’ at Osho’s Ashram. As Osho says- ‘You work for me and I’ll work on you’. This statement started manifesting in Rishi’s life. He describes the process as rewiring of his whole physical and energetic system to a higher template based on inner ecstasy. His yoga Guru Mr. Iyengar requested him to start a Yoga School in India. With the help of his beloved friends and Osho’s Sannyasins, Lila, Sasa and Swami Ansh his Yoga School was started in Goa and it became a great success in a very short period of time. It is Rishi’s passion to bring to people’s awareness the fact that the twin systems of Tantra and Yoga have never really been separate. They are two aspects of Sanatanam Dharma, the eternal flow of truth.
