| Yogacharya Dr. Ashoke Kumar Chatterjee |
|
Dr. Ashoke Kumar Chatterjee was born in West Bengal, India in December 1933. He was initiated into Kriya yoga in 1960 by Sri Annada Charan Sastri, later by Sri Sunderlal Lala of Varanasi, and finally by Sri Satyacharan Lahiri, grandson of Yogiraj Sri Shama Churn Lahiree.After completing the Kriya yoga course by austere practice, Dr. Chatterjee received the permission from Satyacharan Lahiri to grant initiation from 1978.
He is a yogi of the highest order.
The speciality of him is that he has scrupulosly adhered to the ideals of Yogiraj, thus has remarkably juxtaposed total domestic existence with yogic discipline as shown by Yogiraj Himself.
He is a householder as well as a yogi. This blend is perfect and it lends a special charisma to him. Due to his charismatic magnetic presence many are attracted to him.
He has been accorded the highest honour by being invited as the only Hindu representative from India to the Parliament of World Religions held from 26.4.97 to 2.5.97 at Institute of Karma Ling, Val St. Hugon, France convened by U.N.O. and Dalai Lama.
In retrospect of his remarkable expaitation at the Parliament of World Religions on love, peace and solidarity and how to save the planet through yoga, U.T.O. (United Traditions Organization) has honoured him tobecome it's first Indian member.

He is an ocean of softness, fount of love, as well as a rigorous disciplinarian.
