About SiddharthYogaPeeth

A Samarthguru Dhara initiative bringing world-class yoga teacher training to seekers worldwide.

Our Vision

SiddharthYogaPeeth was founded with a singular vision: to create the world's most comprehensive and transformative yoga teacher training program. We believe that yoga is not just physical exercise — it is a complete science of human development.

Under the guidance of Samarthguru Siddharth Aulia, an Enlightened Master, Spiritual Scientist, Mystic, Siddha Yogi, Poet, and Author, we bring together the timeless teachings of spiritual traditions with practical meditation techniques for modern life.

As part of the Samarthguru Dhara family, we make Sanatan Dharma — the eternal path of truth and peace — accessible to all, inspiring transformation one seeker at a time.

At the heart of this vision is Scientific Spirituality — the conviction that the inner world can be explored with the same clarity and rigour as the outer one. Here, meditation is not blind ritual but a precise science of inner transformation, and every seeker is invited to verify the teachings through their own direct experience rather than belief.

Drawing on the living Guru-Shishya Parampara and the four classical paths of yoga — Gyan, Bhakti, Hatha and Karma — our programs meet you wherever you are, from your very first breath of awareness to the deepest states of meditation, and guide you steadily homeward to your own true self.

From Scientist to Spiritual Master

Born Virendra Kumar Singh on 23 September 1942 in Karma, Bihar, Samarthguru Siddharth Aulia's early life was one of rigorous learning. An alumnus of the renowned Netarhat Residential School, he went on to earn his M.Sc., AISM and Ph.D. from the Indian School of Mines (now IIT-ISM), Dhanbad, and later completed the Senior Executive Course at Manchester Business School, UK, in 1991.

A distinguished geologist, he served as a lecturer, researcher and author, rising to General Manager at Coal India Ltd., a post he held until 2002. His book Koyle Ki Gaveshna earned the Indira Gandhi Award in 1984 — a testament to the scientific rigour that would later shape his vision of Spiritual Science.

The Inner Journey

Alongside a celebrated professional career, a deeper search unfolded. First guided by Janki Baba, he later drew from the teachings of Osho, the Sufi master Baba Shah Qalandar of Giridih, and the divine inspiration of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. In 1980 he received initiation from Osho as Swami Anand Siddharth. That same period, Baba Shah Qalandar recognised him as his successor, bestowing upon him the honoured title “Aulia”.

Through years of disciplined sadhana he passed through profound spiritual milestones, culminating in enlightenment — and devoted the rest of his life to guiding seekers along the same path, uniting the precision of science with the depth of the spirit.
