"Born at Santipur, Northern Bengal, of a musician, philosopher and physical culturist who was active in India’s struggle to gain independence from British rule, Sri Goswami became part of a 700-year old family tradition, living in a harmonious blend of knowledge and spirituality. One of his ancestors became King Hatnabati’s guru and the spiritual heir of famous bhakti yogi Chaitanya. Still today in India, the name Goswami is notoriously linked to learning and teaching. However, the reason for Sri Goswami to dedicate his whole life to Yoga was not his spiritual family heritage, but a frail constitution from childhood and the encouragement of a celebrated 110-year old physical culturist, Kali Singha, who taught under two years the then 17-year old teen those yogic exercises that aim at making the body healthy and strong. At that time there was a Professor Rammurti, celebrated for his phenomenal strength he acquired through yoga practice, like supporting an elephant on his chest. This was crucial in determining once for all the young Goswami to dedicate himself seriously to the practice of Yoga. " (from the Goswami Yoga Institute). Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket .
