Dhirendra Brahmachari (12 February 1924 – 9 June 1994), born Dhirendra Choudhary in village Basaith Chanpura, Madhubani, Bihar, was the yoga guru of Yogi Bhajan who taught Kundalini Yoga in the West and founded 3HO.[1] Dhirendra Brahmachari was also yoga mentor of Indira Gandhi – a former Prime Minister of India [2] He ran Ashrams in Delhi, Jammu, Katra and Mantalai (Jammu and Kashmir) and wrote books on yoga.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} BiographyInspired by reading the Bhagavad Gita, he left home at the age of thirteen and went to Varanasi. His guru was Maharshi Kartikeya whose ashram was at Gopal-Khera, about twelve miles from Lucknow. Dhirendra Brahmachari studied yoga and associated subjects there.[3] In the 1960s he was invited to travel to the U.S.S.R. as a hatha yoga expert to train Soviet cosmonauts. Jawaharlal Nehru later invited him to teach yoga to his daughter, Indira Gandhi, to improve her health. He became influential politically in 1975–77 when Mrs Gandhi dissolved Parliament, declared a state of emergency and suspended civil liberties.[4] In the late 1970s, Dhirendra Brahmachari promoted the benefits of yoga in a weekly program called "Yogabhyaas" which was broadcast on Doordarshan, the state-owned television network.[5] He introduced yoga as a subject of study in Delhi administered schools, a considerable innovation. He was the owner of Vishwayatan Yogashram in the centre of Delhi, now known as the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga. He also owned campuses in Jammu, Katra and Mantalai. He wrote books on yoga in Hindi and English including 'Yogic Sukshma Vyayama' and 'Yogasana Vijnana'.{{Citation needed|reason=no citation given for these statements|date=June 2018}} His ashram at Mantalai is spread over 1008 kanals of land with private airstrips, hangar, a zoo and a seven storey building in gandhi nagar, Jammu.{{Citation needed|reason=no citation given for these statements / claims|date=June 2018}} Nowadays there are three known successors of Dhirendra Brahmachari yoga tradition: Bal Mukund Singh from India, Reinhard Gammenthaler from Switzerland and Rainer Neyer (http://www.yoga-shambu.at) from Austria.{{Citation needed|reason=no citation given for these statements|date=June 2018}} References1. ^{{cite news |last1=Deslippe |first1=Philip |title=From Maharaj to Mahan Tantric: The construction of Yogi Bhajan's Kundalini Yoga |url=https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6r63q6qn|accessdate=12 September 2018 |journal=Sikh Formations |volume=8 |number=3|date=2012}} 2. ^{{cite news |last1=Tandon |first1=P.D. |title=The truth about Indira |url=https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/the-truth-about-indira/211665 | publisher=Outlook |date=21 May 2001 |accessdate=1 June 2018 }} 3. ^http://www.worldyogadirectory.com/Yoga-Teachers/Swami-Dhirendra-Brahmachari-1227.html{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/10/obituaries/dhirendra-brahmachari-yoga-master-70.html}} 5. ^{{cite news |title=Speculation rife about Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari's estrangement from Gandhi family |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/indiascope/story/19830815-speculation-rife-about-swami-dhirendra-brahmacharis-estrangement-from-gandhi-family-770911-2013-07-17 |accessdate=1 June 2018 |publisher=India Today}} http://www.eng.vedanta.ru/library/brodov/Vasily_Brodov_Russian_Philosopher_and_Yoga_Practitioner.php External links
