Lal Maharajh

The visionary behind Maha Shanti School of Yoga is Lal Maharajh, trained in the Sivananda lineage under Barata, a senior disciple of Swami Vishnudevananda.

Growing up in Ramrick Sadhu's Sewala (temple), Yoga was a part of Lal’s life from a very early age. 

He received initiation and mantras from his guru Pujya Sat Gurudev Pundit Lutchmee Persad, an ardent follower of Swami Sivanada’s teachings. In 1964 Lal received Janeau, an essential ritual for Brahmins to receive the sacred threads.

Lal is registered with Yoga Alliance at the E-RYT 500 level, a provider of the Continuing Educational Program YACEP and the director of Maha Shanti School of Yoga (previously Vastu School of Yoga). His commitment to the healing properties of Yoga have allowed him to travel the world and train hundreds of yoga teachers.
