          Born in a pious family Shri Acharya Satish had very deep attraction for spiritual life which was reflected in his day to day activities. Since his childhood, he had the intuition that he will dedicate his entire life for   Self-realization and for the service of humanity.

He spent his young life under the feet of   ascetics, monks and spiritual masters of Himalayas. When his aspiration for spiritual quest reached at its peak, he was initiated by one of the great spiritual master of India, belonging to lineage of Adi Shankaracharya and Adi Kapil Bhagwan, Acharya Mahamandelshwar Nirvana Pithadhishwar Swami Shri Vishwadevanada Ji Maharaj. His Guru not only initiated him into the order of one of greatest orders of Brahcharya (Brahmchari) in India which is more than 800 years old but also taught him important scriptures aimed at knowing purpose of life and Sadhana (spiritual practices) which culminates into realization of The Absolute of the west i.e. The Brahman of Vedas or The Ultimate Consciousness.

Shri Acharya Satish practiced   meditation and spiritual Sadhana at many places; the most important ones are forests of Girnar, Junagarh, Gujarat at the bank of river Narmada; Haridwar, the Spiritual Nucleus of India; Gangotri, The Himalayan region at the height of more than 11,000 ft above sea level. The deep aspiration for spirituality within him, led him to practice meditation in chilly winter, high up mountains in Himalayan in solitude for many years.

His Guru Ji (Master) inspired him to serve humanity through his knowledge, realizations and deeper understanding of Yoga. Keeping in mind the grace of his Guru,    he established Sanatan Dhara Foundation in 2011, at Kankhal, Haridwar, and Uttrakhanda, India rededicating his entire life for humanity.
