Background

About Chitra Sukhu

Some people live their Life for a Cause. And Chitra Sukhu is one such Lady. She has committed her Life in diligent Service to enhance the Lives of so many Others. Her Cause is, “To Enrich, Empower, and Enlighten (E3) through Yoga, Ayurveda, Vedanta, and Meditation.” Her Purpose is, “To raise the Consciousness of the World, so that All may live Happier, Healthier Lives together as a Whole.” Chitra was born in Guyana to a Family of Indian ancestry. Although raised mostly in the United States, She also grew up in the many Sivananda Ashrams scattered around the world. Chitra’s parents, joined the Sivananda Organization when She was 3 years old. And since the tender age of 3, Chitra has practiced Yoga and Meditation daily. Such immersion in this Classical Culture and Discipline has given Her a rather rare orientation for someone in the Western World. Reflecting Inner Wisdom She says, “Even though I come from the Sivananda lineage and respect all Teachers, I don't claim any Guru. My Guru has been Life – and through Life, I have learned My greatest Lessons.” During her University years, while continuing Her “Foundational Practice” of Yoga and Meditation, Chitra also developed an interest in “the pleasures of the material world”, and pursued a career in Modeling and Acting. And while garnering success in this area, She didn't find Fulfillment. Later on, following the 9/11 attacks, Chitra experienced a powerful Spiritual Calling. She recognized the need to provide answers to the multitude of questions inside a Child’s mind – questions about Terrorism, Killing, Death, Suffering, and the many other complexities of Life. Being a Mother, Chitra has always encouraged her Children to meditate and find an Inner Peace, which helps them find the answers themselves. Chitra is an experienced Yoga teacher, registered with YA at the E-RYT 500 level. She has a Diploma in Ayurvedic Sciences from Kerala Ayurveda. And is an accomplished Indian classical dancer in the ancient style of Bharata Natyam. Chitra's parents, Leela Mata and Yogi Hari founded Sampoorna Yoga; a Yoga that incorporates Jnana, Bhakti, Karma, Hatha, Nada, and Raja Yoga's. Her father, Yogi Hari, a Master of Hatha, Raja, and Nada Yoga, is well-known and respected around the world, and has an Ashram in Florida. Chitra continues the distinguished legacy of her Parents' LifeWork. She teaches and leads many Retreats around the world for adults and children. She “birthed” the organization, New Age Kids Inc- a sincere effort to generate well-balanced individuals with a Sense of Self, from an early age.
