Do not take life’s experiences too seriously. Above all, do not let them hurt you, for in reality they are nothing but dream experiences....If circumstances are bad and you have to bear them, do not make them a part of yourself. Play your part in life, but never forget it is only a role. What you lose in the world will not be a loss to your soul. Trust in God and destroy fear, which paralyzes all efforts to succeed and attracts the very thing you fear.

Our Founder

Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

With a resolution to share unshackling truths, Gurudeva founded his first school at Dihika to give his educational ideals a practical shape.

Continuing the ancient Indian tradition fostered by Swami Sri Yukteswarji, he sought to create an environment where students could develop the "full nature of manhood". For over a century, this flame has been nurtured by YSS, focusing on the spiritual values and "How-to-Live" principles that remain Gurudeva’s principal objective.

About YSEI

Yogoda Satsanga Educational Institution (YSEI) was established under the auspices of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS of India).

A leading spiritual and charitable organization, founded by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yoganandaji (the author of the world-renowned spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi). YSS is managed by his monastic disciples. The Mahavidyalaya's motto "Knowledge acquisition towards Self-actualization" bears its origin from the Mahavakya as propagated by Lord Krishna in the Bhagvad Gita: 'Tadvidwipranipatena pariprashnenasevaya (IV, 34)'.

This means — A disciple who is in tune with the guru: by self-surrender, by intelligent questions, and by selfless service, learns through unalterable devotion to perceive the Spirit behind the egoless transparency of the guru’s personality. The society has been relentlessly imparting quality education for the last one-hundred years.
