Sunyogi Umasankar (22 June 1967) is an Indian yogi, creator of Sunyoga[3] and Sun meditation technique, popular book author, teacher of acupressure, founder and president of Universal Peace Center[4] in Lachhipur, West Bengal, India. From early childhood, he was highly interested in yoga. After his initiation by his mother, he mastered the practice of Sunyoga, a method of connecting to the divine, or supreme soul, by establishing direct contact with the Sun.[2]
Early life
Sunyogi was born on June 22, 1967, in the small village of Lachhipur in West Bengal outside Kolkata in India, to Srikanth Mohan Bag and mother Bimala Bala Bag. He developed an interest in yoga in early childhood.[5] He was initiated in Kriya Yoga by his mother in 1991.[1]
Discovery of Sunyoga
In 1995, Sunyogi went to Pondicherry ashram[1][4] to focus on his spiritual education and to find answers to philosophical questions. One day early morning, he sat on the beach and watched the Sun rays[6] reflecting in the sea water. The rays went into his eyes with a strong energy, blinding him. But he quickly realized the benefits of looking into the Sun rays and has begun meditating with open eyes near the sea every day. After three months of concentrating on the Sun during his meditation, Sunyogi felt the rays touch his body, "creating within him an indescribable feeling of peace and calm"[6]
Later life
Pilgrimage around India in years 1997-2003
Sunyogi started his walk around India, leaving Pondicherry ashram in 1997.[1][4] "He went barefoot, with no possessions but a simple outfit to visit the entire country of India and to spread the message of universal peace and brotherhood".[6] He spent over six years walking barefoot across all the states of India, living long periods without any food and deriving all his sustenance directly from the Sun. During his trip, many people approached him, being curious about his technique of meditation with the Sun. Motivated by them, Sunyogi started spreading the knowledge of Sunyoga.[6]
Himalayan retreat in years 2007-2009
In 2009 he completed a two-year retreat high up among the snow peaks of the Himalayas where he had the fortune to meet[1][6] for the first time Mahavatar Babaji, the immortal prophet, from whom all the wisdom of yoga has its roots, known from the book of Paramahansa Yogananda "Autobiography of a Yogi"[7]. Sunyogi returned to the world with more in-depth knowledge about Sunyoga and how it can be applied to heal oneself and the whole Universe. The message was "to create peace, prosperity, wisdom, good health, unconditional love and enlightenment" for the future in universal unity and brotherhood.[3]
In 2012, five years after Sunyogi started teaching Sunyoga, it was estimated that 10,000 people throughout India were already practicing it.[5] Some sources claim that already 2 million people around the world learned Sun meditation technique.[8]
