His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda is a Himalayan siddha monk, who hails from unbroken lineages of the combined heritage of rishi sages and nath meditation adepts. He has directly learnt the entire Himalayan Kriyayoga meditation techniques from Tryambaknāth, (popularly known as Mahavatar Babaji).

His Holiness is developing Hansavedas Sambhala (online coursework) based on the teachings from Jñanā-gañja, a siddha enclave commonly known as Sambhala located in Tibet, east of Limpiadhura Pass bordering India.

He is among the very few adepts outside of India who has been awarded the degree of DLitt et Phil (Mahāmahopādhyāya) by the erstwhile President of the Association of Indian Universities and by the Sanskrit scholars of Calcutta, India. The degree was conferred in recognition of his meditative interpretation, scholarly analysis, and ability to articulate the philosophical nuances of Sanskrit literature.

Sri Swami Asimananda is a yogin and Himalayan breathwork adept. Her monastic name means bliss of unbounded expansiveness and her yoga practice embodies that spirit of transcendance. Sri Swami Asimananda studies under the direct guidance of her monastic master, His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda, a Himalayan siddha monk and founder of Nonprofit, Self Enquiry Life Fellowship.

Prior understanding of basic principles of breathing will be helpful.
