"I love you, all friends, and I need your cooperation to build this Institute… where all people can come and experience the thread of love and unity, and through this transcendental thread they could experience the center of unity behind all diversity."
~ Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati (Ramamurti S. Mishra, M.D.), 1977

Mishra, M.D.) – to promote Self-awareness and meditation, and to serve as a center for the unity between East and West.
We invite spiritual seekers and practitioners to become members of the Yoga Society of New York, so that we can support this greater cause together. We welcome and encourage our members to participate in the life of the Ashram.
