I Gede Ratnaya

My name is I Gede Ratnaya. When I was a teenager I was very interested in spirituality. I always follow the religious activities with great enthusiasm, both in school and in the village or temple. My interest this brings me to the spiritual path of meditation. Then I searched for any inspirational books and teachers to find answers of my inner questions and to guide me to the path of righteousness. I began to learn meditation and joined some spiritual groups, but I was not satisfied. One day I went to a book store and found a book titled “Sixteen Points” by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, a great Master and the founder of Ananda Marga organization. I bought that book and read it entirely for few days. I was inspired a lot after reading this book. And then I went to the Ananda Marga Yoga Center in Singaraja, Bali. In that Yoga Center I met Acarya Rupatiitananda Avadhuta and took initiation (Tantric Dhiiksha) from him on 23 July 1992. I have been a vegetarian since 1990 in a natural way, following my inner inspiration. The first trip I did that toward the Philippines and I go to India. and after from India then I started teaching yoga in Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore. and finally to follow the call of conscience then I return to my homeland in Bali and one with the people of Bali in a mission that is spreading yoga, universal love.
