Yoga of Swami Dev Murti Ji
Introduction
Swami Dev Murti Ji passed away in Delhi, India, on 27 September 2009. He chose not to be in the public media, but he taught Yoga to many of the high-level Yoga Teachers and Yoga Masters. I am Mr Bhavin Desai. I am a student of Mr Jack Boulton and Mr John More, who were students of Himalayan Yoga Master Shri Swami Dev Murti Ji. I spent a year (1987) as a student of Swami Ji in India. I live in the UK and I don't currently have a Yoga Centre or Yoga Ashram.

There are over 1000 different types of Yoga, designed to address different types of requirements and preferences. Some examples are: Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Mantra Yoga, Tantra Yoga, Gyana Yoga, Dhyana Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Agni Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Shakti Yoga, Trataka Yoga, Bindu Yoga, Kundalini Yoga. The designers of the different Yoga systems wanted to ensure that any person will find an approach that is individually suitable, customisable, and beneficial.
During his lifetime, Swami Dev Murti Ji deeply researched Yoga and similar systems. He has incorporated the essential, practical, and efficient aspects of these into his Yoga system which has been designed to be suitable for any person, any age, and any level.
Best wishes for your continuing Yoga practice.
Hari Om and Namaste.

Yoga of Swami Dev Murti Ji
Swami Dev Murti Ji with Jack Boulton
This website is dedicated to (and in memory of) our Teachers, Mr Jack Boulton and Mr John More, and our Grand Master, Shri 1008 Himalayan Yoga Maharishi Swami Dev Murti Ji. The above photograph was taken in February 1988 in Nadiad, India.
Four Generations of Yoga Teachers
The above photograph shows, from left to right, Jack Boulton, Swami Dev Murti Ji, a student, and Shri 1008 Vishwanath Yati Ji Maharaj. Bhavin Desai (who took this photograph) was a student of Jack; who was a student of Swami Ji; who was a student of Shri 1008. Therefore this photograph represents four generations of Yoga Teachers and Masters. Shri 1008 was estimated to be "about 150 something" based on his personal documentation.
Bhavin Desai at the International Yoga Centre
Swami Dev Murti Ji's International Yoga Centre at Highfield in Lenham, Kent, England, was established by Jack & John. It existed from 1962 to 2015. The above photograph shows Bhavin in the Training Room where Jack & John and Swami Ji can be seen in the background posters and prints. Also visible are wooden sandals that are similar to the ones that Swami Ji wore on his Yoga journey from India to Europe. Swami Ji is the Grandmaster and Grandfather of Modern Yoga.
(Yoga unites the mind, body, and soul in a way that eases tension, reduces inflammation, and promotes health and well being. Regular practice will help you to reach, improve and perfect poses, correct posture and positioning, and improve your breathing and outlook on life.)
(Yoga is a great way to improve your endurance in other physical activities. After a run, or heavy workout, yoga will help your body relax while stretching, strengthening, and lengthening the muscles you were working on.)
(Yoga not only helps improve your body, but also helps with mindfulness and meditation. It is important to take a break from daily life in order to focus on yourself and get clarity. Focusing on your breath during practice is the key to staying in tune with your mind and body.)
Yoga of Swami Dev Murti Ji
General Introduction
From the 1960s to the 1980s, our Yoga Teachers in England were:
- Mr Jack Boulton
- Mr John More
They were affectionately known as "Jack & John".
From the 1950s to the 1980s, their Yoga Master, who had walked from India to Europe, teaching along the way, was:
- Shri 1008 Himalayan Yoga Maharishi Swami Dev Murti Ji
When the context is clear and unambiguous, the above title is shortened to simply "Swami Ji".
Swami Ji had several Yoga Masters but his Spiritual Master was:
- Shri 1008 Himalayan Yoga Maharishi Swami Vishwanath Yati Ji Maharaj
When the context is clear and unambiguous, the above title is shortened to simply "Shri 1008".
During the early part of his life, Swami Ji became very famous as a Yoga Master throughout the length and breadth of India. Consequently, Shri 1008 instructed Swami Ji to teach beyond the boundaries of India. Swami Ji immediately started on a walking journey from India to Europe, teaching Yoga in many countries. Swami Ji preferred walking and he intentionally did not use any type of conveyance such as a horse, bicycle, car, train, plane, or ship.
As a result of meeting Swami Ji and learning Yoga, Jack & John bought Schloss Aubach Castle in the Black Mountains area of Germany, which had an affinity with the Himalayan Mountains in India. This was Swami Ji's Yoga Centre for at least 10 years spanning the 1950s and 1960s. More details are available from the books in the section "Books about Yoga of Swami Dev Murti Ji".
In 1962 Jack & John bought a house called Highfield in Lenham, England. This was originally intended to be their home, but they subsequently dedicated it to Swami Ji as an International Yoga Centre. Every year for over 10 years, we attended weekend or week Yoga Courses at the International Yoga Centre in Lenham, and Jack & John taught us the original, genuine and authentic Yoga that they had learnt from Swami Ji.
The "Seven Golden Keys" of the Yoga of Swami Dev Murti Ji, which are explained in more detail in the books, are as follows:
- Brahmacharya.
- Vegetarianism.
- Follow one's Religion.
- Neti Kriya.
- Nauli Kriya.
- Bhastrika Pranayama.
- Spinal "Crocodile" Exercises.
Swami Ji studied all the different types of Yoga and combined with his additional lifetime research made them into The One Yoga, with the Seven Golden Keys as the essence or "Crown Jewels of Yoga". The Crocodile Exercises are Swami Ji's unique invention and contribution to Yoga.
Swami Ji designed his Yoga to be completely Safe, by ensuring that his research and development was tested on himself first, then his family, and only then with students or other people. Swami Ji designed his Yoga to be Simple, with no complex theories, or difficult or dangerous exercises. Swami Ji designed his Yoga to be Practical, with easy and effective methods and techniques. Swami Ji designed his Yoga to be suitable for Modern people rather than the "Classical Yoga" which was suitable for people living hundreds or thousands of years ago. Swami Ji personally made Yoga Accessible in many countries and then universally via this website on the Internet.
Swami Ji spent his whole life in the analysis and refinement of his Yoga. Swami Ji was a Scientist as well as a Yogi. Swami Ji had many inventions and many world records.
It has been proven by feedback from Yoga Practitioners that the regular and dedicated practise of Swami Ji's Yoga will result in the reduction (or sometimes even the elimination) of over 80% of diseases and illnesses, whether they are in the body, mind, or spirit.
Swami Ji said to us:
- "This Yoga remain ever, ever on the earth."
We understand this to mean that the Yoga of Swami Dev Murti Ji will remain forever and forever on the earth, available for practise by anyone, at any time, and at any place.
