About Swami Durgananda

Swami Durgananda

Realized Master & Initiated Master of Meditation

Swami Durgananda has taught yoga, meditation and philosophy around the world for over 50 years.

 

Durga Swami was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. As a young child she suffered from a chronic heart condition. In her early twenties she became interested in finding a wholistic approach to support her to good health, exploring yoga as a form of healing and balancing. This lifestyle suited her temperament, and she made the modality of Yoga her life’s work.

 

In the ensuing years she travelled extensively around the world, studying many religions and modalities always on the search for a teacher to help her understand the Truth.

 While teaching in India she met His Holiness Neelkanth Maharaj the spiritual leader of ‘Samata Samashti Dharma’, this meeting was to change the direction of her life.

 

After her primary initiation into ‘Samata Samashti Dharma’ she embarked on a journey of self-discovery, for 15 years undertook intensive training studying the science of Raj Yoga. At her final initiation she was given the title Swami Durgananda.

 Samata Yoga is a practical traditional Raj Yoga, a lineage yoga that is passed down from teacher to teacher originating over 25,000 years ago. 

 

 Swami Durgananda established Samata Yoga Australia providing yoga and meditation classes, metaphysical workshops and spiritual retreats.

 Durga Swami has a profound understanding of the universe and the human condition. Through her articles, books and podcasts she shares ancient knowledge and wisdom with compassion and humour teaching us how to go within, to bring balance and harmony into our lives. 

And the knowledge of Samata Samashti Dharma being:

Oneness In All Is Universal Truth.
