"We practice Yoga to achieve Yoga."
Sri Sudarshan oversees all worldwide functions of SKYLIGHT YOGA's purpose-driven health and wellness instruction.
Sri Sudarshan [Sujal H. V. Patel] has for lifetimes been exploring health, happiness and success in the human experience. He was curious about the interconnection of universal nature and individual personality and their ideal balance. Sujal began practicing Yoga before it rose to popularity in the West and became widely known for postures, breathing and meditation. Yoga revealed its infinitely positive physical, mental and spiritual outcomes to Sujal in a revelation. Sujal's body became absolutely quiet, and his mind became completely calm, that the voice of truth was heard. It said:
"Welcome to You."
Sujal began teaching Yoga at M.B. Patel Higher Secondary and Secondary School in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India, and walked the footsteps of his adored great-grandfather, Purushottamdas “Daskaka” Patel, Indian Member of Parliament, pioneer of education, national reformer and founder of the K-through-college campus where Sujal was teaching English and Yoga. Sujal completed his Bachelor of Arts & Sciences degree from Indiana University in Bloomington, writing thesis papers on "Gandhian Economics in Applied Anthropology," "Commensurability of Eastern and Western Religions," "Global Sustainability in an Environmental, Social and Political Context," and "The Ethnography of Yoga," as they were natural expressions of his interests in personal, professional and civil leadership. Sujal was licensed to teach Yoga by the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Forest Academy in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. Yoga evolved him on the path of Self-Realization. Graciously receiving the sublime knowledge from the unbroken lineages of Yoga, and developing a deeper gratitude for their teachings, Sujal knew this meant that he would give his life to the mission of teaching powerful, practical and profound Yoga and spirituality, and to the Masters who have preserved this undeniable gift by their shining example. Sujal accepted the title of Yoga Siromani (Jewel of the Crown of Yoga) and committed his life to artfully, skillfully and responsibly disseminating the teachings of Yoga by upholding Dharma, purity and virtuousness in the world.
