Malay Desai
Named Mahacharya in 2012 and formally appointed a lineage carrier by Gurudev Shri Amritji in 2018, Malay is an authentic ambassador of compassion, service and purpose. As a heart-forward visionary and yogi, Malay has dedicated his life to collecting and preserving the teachings, historical footage and traditions of the Lakulish-Kripalu-Amrit lineage that otherwise could have been diluted or lost through the inevitable consequences of time. Having spent decades restoring and archiving such important works, his primary focus today is to ensure that these teachings become and remain accessible to practitioners worldwide, for generations to come.
