The Guruji's Journey & Vision: Dr. Venkatesh
From a small village to 30 years of yoga practice in Bengaluru. Discover the story, the struggle, and the vision that has touched over 50,000 lives.
This video tells my story, from a farmer's son to the founder of Bengaluru's number one yoga center. It shares my journey of learning from spiritual masters, overcoming challenges like COVID, and building Vishwa Poornima Yoga Centre with a mission to serve society.
A proud moment receiving my Doctor of Philosophy degree from Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana. My research thesis was on the effects of yoga practices on hypothyroidism, proving the scientific basis of what I teach.
This is me, Dr. Venkatesh. I invite you to join my live sessions to unlock the unlimited power of your mind. I am here to guide you personally on your path to health, happiness, and success.
My life was transformed by the teachings of three great spiritual masters: B.K.S. Iyengar, Swami Rama, and Paramahansa Yogananda. Their books and their wisdom gave me the foundation to train thousands of students. I encourage you to explore their work for your own growth.
About The Guruji's Journey & Vision
I did not start with a big studio. I left my stable IT job to teach yoga because I felt a calling to serve. That decision led me to build a system that works for real people, whether you are battling stress, health issues, or simply need clarity. My work here in Bengaluru is not about theory; it is about practical, daily transformation.
My path began in a small village, guided by a simple farmer's work ethic and a heart for service. When I left the corporate world to follow yoga, I had zero cash, just a vision. Over the last 30 years, that vision has grown into Vishwa Poornima Yoga Centre, with locations in Indiranagar, Murugeshpalya, and New Thippasandra.
I have learned that life is about more than just fitness. My PhD research on hypothyroidism and my training under great masters like B.K.S. Iyengar and Swami Rama taught me that yoga is a 100 percent solution for many of life's struggles.
What you see here is the result of that long road. We have trained over 2,000 teachers who now serve globally and helped 50,000 people reclaim their health. Whether you are dealing with financial blocks, relationship breakdowns, or physical ailments like back pain and diabetes, I am here to share that same ancient wisdom that saved me. My goal is to create 50 lakh happy families. You are part of that vision now. Let us grow together, learn together, and heal together.
