Happy birthday to our beacon of light
I 'Maa' - as she is fondly called by her students - is like the mother who acts as provider, sustainer, and giver. Maa symbolizes the nourishing, protective and life-giving essence.
Hansa Maa, our beloved mother, celebrates her 78th year on this planet on 8th October 2025. She was born in the year of India's Independence. Just like the country attained freedom in 1947, Hansaji also brought freedom to the lives of many - freedom from various physiological and psychological ailments - through her teachings on a Yogic way of living.
