That’s when he met a spiritual Guru who taught him Pranayama, meditation, and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.

With this modest beginning, he went on to having the largest ashram in India at Puri, Odisha and many ashrams in various countries around the world. An MLA, an American and an Ayurvedic doctor, were instrumental in his rise. Everything was going well for everyone until there was a murder in the ashram. What was really going on?
