December 25, 1928 to August 19, 2014
Sadly, I must inform you that Swami Harinanda passed away early in the afternoon on Tuesday, August 19, 2014. His death came quickly and without pain. As per his wishes there was no service nor memorial, although he would have appreciated donations to the SPCA or any animal shelter that you like. It goes without saying that this one–of–a–kind and great man will be greatly missed.
I first came to know Swami Harinanda around 1995. He was a customer of mine. One way or another, we got talking about spirituality and he mentioned to me that he was a swami. I must admit, I thought he was joking. But then I realized he was serious. We corresponded by email. Amazingly, I still have a printed copy of his early emails to this day.
Swami Harinanda was able to answer some of my basic questions about yoga and although I had started on the yogic path before I met him, talking to and knowing Swami Harinanda helped make my path more clear.
I was lucky enough to have met Swami Harinanda for the first time in April, 1996. I can remember the first time I met him as I drove up to his house. He came outside to greet me — I felt a great sense of joy and calm come over me.
The next day, Swami Harinanda personally taught me the science of yantra yoga at his dining table. I wrote down the principles of yantra yoga on both sides of a blank piece of paper as Swami Harinanda talked. It was a beautiful moment for me — finally my teacher had come. These lessons I still have to this day and still act as my foundation regarding yantra yoga.
Starting around late 1996 to 1997, I helped Swami Harinanda build an early web site. Later we expanded and moved his web site to this current location real-yoga.com. Swami Harinanda wanted people to see the words real yoga
— he wanted people to awaken to the truth of what real yoga is not. Swami Harinanda was not interested in yoga for health.
While building the real yoga
web site, Swami Harinanda didn't know what information we should add. So I suggested to him that we should add informaton that is not easily found elsewhere regarding real yoga. I told Swami Harinanda that myself and others want to know why we should practice yoga, what are the types of yoga, who are some famous yogis and a lesson in pure hatha yoga. So this is what we did. I asked the questions, Swami Harinanda wrote the content.
Swami Harinanda was a pure teacher. He would never accept money for teaching. Yoga or spirituality is part of universal knowledge that belongs to everyone. Therefore, one cannot charge for what already belongs to them. Swami Harinanda always said that a good teacher has a day job and then teaches on his or her own time for free. The teacher should pay for any room rental, etc — this is the sign of a pure teacher which Swami Harinanda was.
Swami Harinanda was taught or told personally by Ramana Marharshi to never accept payment and as Swami Harinanda would always say, Ramana Maharshi is never wrong.
Swami Harinanda did not go to meet Ramana Maharshi in India, instead, they met on the astral plane. Ramana told Swami Harinanda that he did not need to be in a cave or anything like that to be a good student of yoga. Swami Harinanda took those words to heart and lived a normal life while being totally dedicated to self realization.
Swami Harinanda knew many little or lesser known things about yoga. He really studied the theory of yoga and put himself into a position to meet people that would impact him. Somewhere along the way he learned the Master's Chant
, as an example, and many more things. Swami Harinanda would openly teach kriya yoga as well. Swami Harinanda loved the yogic life and just absorbed every little detail.
In 1996, I was personally quite ill and possibly near death. Swami Harinanda gave me the book on Karma Yoga by Swami Vivekanda to read. It was the best medicine I've ever received. From that day onwards, I fell madly in love with karma yoga. Knowing this, Swami Harinanda bestowed the name Karmananda
to me. I thank him very much for this honour.
Swami Harinanda was a good teacher, a good person and a good friend.

Your life begins to “bud” this month. Since the bud looks so nice and fresh, this is referred to as a month of “hope and aspirations”. The events of this month give clues as to the successes you can expect to see in June. But be warned, the buds you see this month may be rotten inside. This in turn will lead to July being a month of chaos, failures and/or disappointments. If you have made wise decisions since January then your life will feel like springtime at the moment… the challenges of winter have finished… the sun is beginning to shine more often… you hear the birds singing in the morning… you can sense that summer is just around the corner. This is the time in your life in which you can see the buds appearing on the cherry tree while picturing in your mind’s eye the cherry blossoms that will be appearing next month. It’s indeed a wondrous feeling this month as long as there is no rot or disease in the buds causing you to regret the foolish choices you have made. Ultimately, this is a month of responsible decision–making and settlement. While this is a month of decision, the influences of this month can also make you equally indecisiveness. Become aware of this so you can make the decisions that need to be made. The decisions you make this month ultimately lead to a settlement. The settlement could be an agreement reached, influences that cause you to want to “settle down” or some sort of stabilizing life influence. You might find that responsibilities are thrust upon you. If so, take advantage of the opportunity or opportunities. Life influences might urge you to get married or move in with your partner. You might also find yourself wanting to accept more business or work related responsibilities. Relatively speaking, this is a well–rounded and stable month in which wealth, success or a positive attitude begins to accumulate. Avoid drinking alcohol excessively this month. Jealousy prevails this month and the mind can easily become twisted. Using common sense will help alleviate, mitigate or reduce any such potential problems. Make this a family month whether that be serving your family or spending time with them. Keynotes For April: This month exudes responsibility and accepting responsibilities… this is the theme of this month! The life choices you have made since January begin to show signs of promise this month (budding). Look for and choose that buds (opportunities) that offer a mature (responsible) plan of action. Love Influences For April: A good month to consider settling down with the one you love. It’s time to take on more responsibilities within the framework of your relationship. Be mature and responsible in how and what you do this month. Jealously can significantly get out of control causing you to nag too much.
2024's Numerology Influences For People Born On July 29...9 Year Cycle — Reflection 2024's Emphasis: Harvest — Collect Seeds For Replanting This year requires you to reflect on your life over the last 9 years. Determine what’s been good and what’s been bad. Choose the best seeds (aspects of your life) while throwing away the bad. The seeds can relate to any part of your life whether it is financial, romance, business, education, family, etc. Next year, when you enter your 1 year cycle, will require you to plant your chosen seeds, so choose carefully. There is no rule or law that says you have to plant seeds based solely on your life over the last 9 years, you can of course, create new ideas; however, it is unwise to continue with foolish aspects of your life — at the same time, you would be foolish not to continue or to replant those seeds (thoughts and ideas) that have been beneficial. Ideally though, you want to plant quality seeds that build upon your last 9 years so you continue to build the positives in your life. This in turn will help to strengthen, fortify and solidify all aspects of your life. The quality seeds you plant next year will then govern your life for the subsequent 9 years. This is ultimately a year for dreaming and planning. So take your time and spend it wisely choosing the very best seeds. If you plant wise seeds next year you will help erase any of the failures, chaos, turmoil and disappointments of the last 9 years. If you replant wise seeds, you continue the cycle of prosperity. This year provides you with the rare opportunity or ability to mentally discern, with sound judgment, the negatives and positives of your life over the last 9 years. The influences of this year encourage you to really take a good look at your life, to maximize your vision and see in all directions. Consider serving humanity this year. A parasitic desire for luxury can cause you to pay, at any cost, to achieve it. This will lead to personal losses through unchecked passions and desires. Stay in control otherwise you can loose financially and in other ways such as your health. This year can be, unfortunately, a year of losses. This will be a year in which you experience the bitter with the sweet. Your You will start negotiating the necessary changes required around October of this year — Health Influences For 2024: Glandular and nervous disorders. Since this year can affect the nerves, do some Pranayama Yoga breathing techniques such as the triple breath (full breath) to settle and harmonize the nervous system.
