About |
Self Enquiry Life Fellowship (Hansavedas) is a non-profit spiritual and educational institution dedicated to preserving and sharing the wisdom of Sanskrit heritage, Himalayan yoga, and Vedic philosophy. Founded by His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda, a Himalayan monk and ordained Vedic ascetic, the Fellowship supports seekers from all walks of life in their journey toward self-realization and holistic wellbeing.
The organization’s offerings include public discourses, meditation workshops, Sanskrit learning programs, spiritual fellowships, and wellness events rooted in the living tradition of Himalayan siddhas. Its signature breathwork and higher yoga programs emphasize authentic practices such as prāṇāyāma, mantra recitation, yogic postures, and meditative absorption, while upholding the ethical and devotional foundations of yogic life.
Hansavedas also curates a growing digital archive of sacred knowledge through Sambhala Academy, its online learning platform, and offers spiritual retreats, contemplative publications, and access to a network of ordained monastics and nuns. The organization’s headquarters and meditation sanctuary are located in the Sierra Foothills of California.
With a focus on timeless wisdom, deep inner transformation, and disciplined practice, Self Enquiry Life Fellowship serves as a rare bridge between Eastern contemplative sciences and modern seekers. Its mission is to uplift humanity through the light of self-enquiry, devotion, and meditative clarity, fostering a global community devoted to spiritual excellence and compassionate living.
