I felt at home and at peace each time I stayed at Swamiji’s ashram in Miami FL, spending time and participating in the activities in and around The Yoga Research Foundation was one of the most fulfilling and heart expanding experiences I’ve known. “GOD wants your FEELING” is my favourite ❤️ advice Swamiji shared with me. Om Tat Sat.

Swamiji is one of the most enlightened beings I’ve ever met, and I’ve met some very enlightened beings (the Dalai Lama, Kirpal Singh, and more advanced Yogis than I can count). If you live in Miami, or are just visiting, you have a rare gem in your midst. Don’t miss the opportunity to be in his presence. .

Beyond Words.. Let your mind become. A waffle. And feel the immortal words of Guruji remind you of your true Self.. Beyond words

This is the most beautiful place with beautiful people and a true spiritual teacher. Swami Jyotirmayananda is the most authentic and true realized teacher I’ve ever met. There is no trace of ego or spiritual manipulation here- which unfortunately can happen at Ashram’s. This place is true yoga in its most profound and pure form. If you find this place, you have been blessed. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by! Visit this ashram today. Om Tat Sat.

What a spiritual experience the ashram is with Guru Swamiji. My only regret is that I did not find him sooner. The way he transcribes the Vasistha and Gita scriptures is amazing. His sense of humor, joy and wisdom he illuminates is like the Sun in the sky with no clouds you feel the pure energy he radiates. The location is so peaceful and beautiful and so are the people there... The Sunday Prasad is always delicious and there are so many books he's written that allow you gain even further to Self realization..

A little corner of a Miami residential area, and a peaceful and magical retreat with its own little lake teeming with all kinds of fish, including large koi. Swamiji is the last direct disciple of a Swami Sivananda of the Divine Life Society.

Easy and plentiful parking. Beautiful grounds with a vast variety of pretty orchids. Lovely neighborhood and secluded retreat. One enters a room to drop footwear then browse the abundance of books written by Swamiji. The Ashram is in the next room with comfy seating and colorful decor. I enjoyed the lecture and music very much. It gave me pause to think and absorb. It was a Sunday eve so after the prayers we had a sumptuous meal. All this was a cost of $10 in a 2 hour period. Come try. Om.

My Teacher, @RamgiriBraun introduced me to YRF. Swamiji is an enlightened being who guides spiritual seekers to gain insight into Integral Yoga as a path to spiritual evolution, based on his highly intuitive interpretation of the Vedantic Scriptures. Swamiji encourages the cultivation of the four aspects of one's personality—Action, Emotion, Will and Reason, through the four major Yogas that compose Integral Yoga—Karma, Bhakti, Raja and Jnana. YRF provides a wonderful platform to integrate yoga in all aspects of our daily lives as well as a sense of belonging to a wonderful community and Satsang. Highly recommended for those who are serious about progressing in their spiritual practice and evolution.

Swami Jyotirmayananda has been here for almost 50 years, he is in his 80's now and is the last living disciple of Swami Sivananda. He gives evening talk most nights of the week from YRF and it is very worthwhile to come and hear his wisdom.

I have searched far and wide for yoga experts and their books all to no avail. But the two books "Yoga Exercises for Health and Happiness" and "Raja Yoga Sutras" are surely accessible and definitely the best yoga books in the English language I have ever seen. Along with Swami Jyotirmayananda's beautiful pocket Bhagavad Gita I believe I am blessed forever after following Swamiji's directions for relaxation of my right arm which was crippled, numb and useless after it was caught under a metal bed. After repeatedly using the directions for moving and relaxing every joint of every finger, the thumb, the wrist, the forearm, the upper arm and the shoulder, my arm was healed. Thank you, Swami Jyotirmayananda--you are truly the Genius of Yoga.
