BACKGROUND -The founder of the Dharma Shakti is R.S.N Iyengar. He hails from a pure Brahmin family of the Kaushik Gotra of Sri Sampradaya which is the direct blood lineage of Brahmarishi Vishwamitra. His ancestors are experts in the art of Vedic Science, Vastu, The Art of Yoga, Sanskrit Language, Astrology, Mind Reading, The Art of Colour therapy and much more. To date, he has planted the seed of Vedas in various countries such as New Zealand, Australia, England, Russia, India and many more.
SAMPRADAYA -He comes from an auspicious lineage known as Sri Sampradaya –Kaushika Gothra which decends from the Sage Brahmarishi Vishwamithra. He is the last of three siblings, playful and much loved by the family. R.S. N. Iyengar inherits three Sampradayas (school of thought), namely the Sri Sampradaya through his father, the Rudra Sampradaya through his mother and the Brahma Sampradaya through his siksha and diksha Guru, the late Srila Jatismara Prabu (Pioneer of the Krsna Conscious movement in Malaysia - 1975).
SANATANA DHARMA -Following many years of arduous training in Malaysia and in the Himalayas, R. S.N. Iyengar has been guided to awaken the knowledge of the Sri Sampradaya sown deep in his consciousness. With numerous trips and visitations to sacred grounds in India, R. S. N. Iyengar has been in depth study of the ancient Agamas of both the Vaishnavites and the Shaivites and bravely expounds that there are no differences or superiority amongst the age old traditions of both the Vaishnavites and the Shaivites. The Vaishnavites and the Shaivites are the descendants of the ancient Vedic or pre-Vedic Hinduism theology known as Sarvam-Sanatana Dharma.
SADHANA -In his 20s, R. S. N. Iyengar has travelled throughout the whole country on foot and public transport to places which are unfamiliar to him. His mission was to preach and spread the actual and forgotten truth of the ancient Vedic religion, correcting every mis-information about Hinduism (Sarvam-Sanatana Dharma) to Hindus of every sect, teaching and building awareness of the basic Hinduism rituals and prayers, and warning the masses not to indulge in the false propagation or false practices of Sarvam-Sanatana Dharma.
PRACTICE -The spread of “Samatvam” (Equality to All, Indifference to None) is R. S. N. Iyengar’s fundamental drive in serving the many needs in all of us. Assisting the many that have begun to realize and are willing to cross from the great Vedic religion into the realm of Vedic spirituality and beyond. R. S. N. Iyengar has been conducting classes across Malaysia and to this very day, spreading the Tatva of Satyam, Dharma, Shanti and Prema.
LINEAGE -The blood of Sri Sampradaya is galvanizing through R. S. N. Iyengar’s body, mind and spirit to move ever quickly to spread this Vedic science of “Directed Consciousness” so as to meet and solve accumulated ‘karmas’. Inculcating it is simple but daily positive spiritual changes with understanding of the Vedic Scriptural Sciences are what the Sri Sampradaya is known for. Personal transformation to reach and understand the highest knowledge of the true self was the path taken by King Kaushika, a Raja Rishi, who undertook arduous penance (tapasya) to become a great Brahma Rishi known as Brahma Rishi Vishwamitra.
IDENTITY -R.S. N. Iyengar is fondly referred to as ‘Guru Deva’ by his students. Being well versed in Rig, Yajur, Sama & Atharva Vedas, Brahma Vastu, Vidhya Sastra, Jatagam & Panchangam, amongst others, Guru Deva Sri Syamalanathan Iyengar has personally directed and thought a handful of disciples to become Priests, Brahma Vastu exponents and Vidhya Sastra Jadagam practitioners to serve the society. These spiritual activities are being carried out through the Dharma Shakti Vedanta Gurukulam established in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur and is based on the strict and sacred guidelines of the Sri Sampradaya – Kaushika Gothra.
