About Swami Jyotihananda

Swami Jyotihananda first tasted the sweetness of Swami Radha’s teachings during the Ten Days of Yoga, in 1977. In 1982 she started the first Radha Centre in Calgary, and for the next 15 years was involved in teaching in Calgary, England and Europe. She moved to the Ashram in 1998 and was initiated into sanyas in 2005. She brings a love of the teachings of Swami Radha and a deep trust in how they can radically change people and help them to evolve.

About Swami Utpalananda

Swami Utpalananda met Swami Radha at the opening of her centre in Calgary in 1982. Studying there, reflection, mantra and Light made such a positive difference in her life that she continued on to become a teacher. She lived at the Ashram from 1986 to 1996 and returned there for many summers after leaving to teach in Radha Centres. She has returned to the Ashram and is committed to making Swami Radha’s teachings available to others.
