Dharma Mittra; A Friend to All

Dharma Mittra; A Friend to All

By Chandra Om

The first and only biographical account of the life and teachings of one of the foremost Yogis of our time, Sri Dharma Mittra. Renowned around the world for his famous 908 Master Asana Chart, very little has been written about this Divine seer.

Told through dozens of personal accounts, biographical and historical information, pictorial chronology and stories and quotes by the Master himself, Dharma Mittra; A Friend to All is a window into a life of millenia. Primarily told through personal accounts of students and disciples over the last 50 years, what we find in the life and teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra is the very breath of Yoga, with its immaculate purity and non-attachment in every action.

An excerpt from the preface of Dharma Mittra; A Friend to All:

His Holiness Sri Yogi Dharma Mittra is a precious gem and a jewel among the highest and most exalted Yogis of time immemorial. For decades, seekers who wish to awaken to the Supreme Self through the Holy science of Yoga have turned to Dharma. In Sri Dharma, all aspirants find a remarkable simplicity and complete humility—a true friend to all and the most shining example of living Yoga. His deep understanding of the essential nature of discipleship to his own great Guru (Swami Kailashananda) provided the foundation for all of us who would later find our Guru in Dharma. His complete humility, devotion and dedication to the Guru were born of the highest sincerity and love. Through his own life and example, he taught us what it means to give one’s life to God, to the service of humanity. Seekers from all over the world have come to study with Dharma—some to merely sit in his presence. A presence that is simultaneously unassuming and Divinely omnipotent. A supremely equanimous state that has the profound effect of quieting the mind and opening the heart.

Dharma Mittra: A Friend to All is one of the most enlightening books I have ever read. Many books have been written about great yogis, but few are so engaging and readable. A compilation of the personal stories from countless students, this book gives rare insight into the life of Dharma Mittra, the greatest Yogi alive today. Each and every story shared inspires and delights the heart, carrying the reader ever closer to the goal of Self-Realization, through understanding of this great Master's every day life and teachings. The tender words of his students brought me to tears many times. Maybe most importantly, though, I came to see just how the teachings have been handed down from mouth to ear over the centuries, from teacher to student; I have heard so much of what Dharma told his students from Chandra Om! What a delight to recognize the eternal threads of the lineage in these sacred pages. This touching tribute of a book will never be forgotten by anyone who opens it.
