FREE New York Yoga, 2008-04-2008-05, NEW YORK’S MAGAZINE FOR YOGA AWARENESS

For over 42 years, legendary and humble Yoga Master Sri Dharma Mittra has been promoting a live food diet to students around the world. A Disciple of Sri Swami Kailashananda, Dharma Mittra has spent his life in service to humanity, and has been personally responsible for the advancement of healthy living through a live diet as taught to him by his own Guru. From his days in the Ashram, in the 1960’s, being in charge of preparing live food and fresh squeezed juices for the Guru and Ashram residents, to his earliest days in the 1970’s as a celebrated teacher in NYC, sprouting almonds and juicing vegetables and fruits for his students, this saintly Yogi has been living and spreading the knowledge of a live diet long before the recent gain in popularity of today.

To understand fully, we should begin with another Yoga Master, Dharma’s Guru, Swami Kailashananda, also known as, Yogi Gupta. He was ordained by Sri Swami Sivananda Maharaj, as the Doctor in charge at his Forest Health Clinic at the Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh. He attended to the sick patients with natural healing techniques involving color, sun, water and many dietary programs. Upon his arrival, he had not only brought the Holy science of Yoga from India, but the ancient knowledge of a live diet as prescribed through Ayurveda. Sri Swami Kailashananda quietly and tirelessly promoted the benefits of a live diet long before most of us reading this today
were even born, producing in 1969 a beautiful recording called “Yogic Food Concepts”, outlining the benefits and practical application of a live diet. To this day, Yogi Gupta, now 94, is a strong, healthy and clear minded Guru, crediting his longevity not only to the grace of God, but to a live diet he has persevered for years.
