"We practice Yoga to achieve Yoga."
Sri Sudarshan [Sujal H. V. Patel] has for lifetimes been exploring health, happiness and success in the human experience. Being curious about the interconnection of universal nature, individual personality and their ideal balance, Sujal had been practicing Yoga consistently before it rose to popularity in the West and became widely known for postures, breathing and meditation. In his first experience, Yoga revealed its infinitely positive outcomes to Sujal in a moment of pure revelation. Sujal's body became so completely quiet, his mind became absolutely calm, that the voice of truth was heard, and it said:
"Welcome to You."
Sujal started officially teaching Yoga at M.B. Patel Higher Secondary and Secondary School in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India, walking the footsteps of his widely-adored great-grandfather, Purushottamdas “Daskaka” Patel, Member of the Indian Parliament, pioneer of education, national reformer and founder of the campus. Sujal completed his Bachelor of Arts & Sciences degree from Indiana University in Bloomington, writing treatises on Gandhian Economics, Eastern and Western Religions, Global Sustainability, and the Ethnography of Yoga, as 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 continued evolving him on the path of Self-Realization. With the development of a deeper gratitude and aspiration for the sublime knowledge of Yoga's unbroken lineages, Sujal felt the clear call to give his life to the mission of teaching and studying under the Yoga Masters who have preserved this undeniably powerful gift by their shining example. Sujal accepted the title of Yoga Siromani, Jewel of the Crown of Yoga, and committed his life to Dharma, upholding truth, virtue and purity in the world.
