Chandra Kumar Gurung Ji has been holding yoga sessions for our community every Sunday for the past few weeks. He has graciously been teaching beginner and moderate levels of yoga and it has been an amazing experience.
He was born in a remote village of Gorkha, Nepal, and had an inexorable quest for life and the wonder of the universe which led him to become a student of science. A student who wanted to get deeper into the idea of mind and matter. But, he thought that there must be a broader concept than science for learning and applying the idea to life and it was spirituality. In order to quench the thirst for spirituality, he was involved in the practice of yoga and meditation under the tutelage and direct discipleship of Dr. Yogi Vikasananda. Through the long years of practicing yoga and meditation, he realized that the quest and thirst for spirituality are unappeasable and he felt to make it his life-long phenomenon. With his dedicated and devoted mind, he received unpayable and invaluable wisdom during the period of a program named ‘Five Years Self-transformation and Personality Development’ conducted by his mentor Dr. Yogi Vikasananda at Manokranti Matrix Gurukul, Godawari, Lalitpur, Nepal. Determined to be a spiritual practitioner, he became a Yoga and Reiki Master.
The longing for spirituality even got higher and higher which led him to undergo the ‘8 Days Underground Meditation’. He didn’t stop there. He kept doing various experiments to realize the power of spirituality. To be specific, the power of yoga and meditation. On the other hand, he also undertook ‘21 Days of Water Fasting’ which had a lot to tell about the mind power and power of spiritual practice. Definitely, spirituality doesn’t emphasize the practice of power. However, they are the tools to heighten and empower one to lead further into enlightenment. After getting as much knowledge as he did, he followed the path of healing and teaching needy people. He imparted his spiritual knowledge and life-inspiring ideas to people from different corners of society. He traveled to many places in Nepal to share his practical experience so that he could share the practical approach to spirituality through yoga and meditation by incorporating them into the life of people. Not only did he deliver the wisdom on spirituality, but also inspired many people to live their life with optimism, positivity, and hope. While traveling different districts of the nation, he kindled the light of health, peace, positive mind, and happiness to hundreds of thousands of people. The unyielding effort of helping the humanity has not ended but has been continuing even after moving into the USA. Mr. Chandra Kumar Gurung from Nepal currently resides at Seattle, Washington with his loving wife Ambika Adhikari and a beautiful daughter Satyaa.
