He has dedicated his life to serving the world with this single purpose – to raise humans to achieve the highest values of human potential such as kindness, compassion and non-violence. Or in other words, make the transition from humankind to kind humans.
Mohanji firmly believes that humanity is the best religion for humans and the best practice is ahimsa, or non-violence – in thoughts, words or actions towards fellow beings across all species. His core teaching is simply “Be You” – accept, understand, recognise and express your uniqueness in the world.
Mohanji has founded various global platforms for people to express themselves through acts of compassion and kindness that add value to society. Mohanji is married to Devi Mohan, and they have a daughter together – Mila Mohan.

Bill served 12 years in the military, as a reservist. Holding 4 designations as: Artilleryman, Infantryman, Heavy Wheel Vehicle Mechanic, and Parachute Rigger. Bill separated with an Honorable Discharge after serving the last 5 years in 1st Bn 11th Special Forces Group Airborne.
Bill started his spiritual practice after becoming certified to teach Qi Gong in 2009. He found his spiritual guide soon after, Goswami Master Sunyata Saraswati. Together for 7 years, Bill was given the spiritual name “Sri Jyoti Prem Saraswati” by Master just days prior to his Maha Samadhi.
During this period, “Prabhu” as his friends call him, was taught several methods of subtle energy practices by Master, including the Jyoti Kriya path, Ra Ku Kei Blue Palm, White Crane Tai Chi, Healing Qi Gong, & various meditations. He continues to study advanced yoga practices and has been committed since his time with Master to enhancing his own practice while teaching yoga and Qi Gong. He has studied, practiced, and taught in several countries including the US, Asia, & Europe. While in Italy and Holland he has trained students in yoga practices.
Prabhu is an Ayurvedic Bodywork practitioner. Taught by the founder of the ‘Vedic Conservatory,’ in Delray Florida. He has attended additional courses in Thailand. His teacher, “Mukti” has trained him in a way to incorporate Bhakti presence through Vedic bodywork & “Nuad Borarn” - Thai Yoga Bodywork.
Viewed as a gift he has been left by his Guruji, Prabhu has taken the Kwan Yin Bodhisattva vows, living a life committed to service & compassion. Bill first met Mohanji at a yoga retreat hosted by the Himalayan Institute, in April of 2022. He quickly realized the blessing of being connected and attended Satsangs by Mohanji in Holland and again at MCB USA, where is now a council member.

She met Mohanji just over two years ago in Sedona. She was captivated by his unbelievably powerful and compassionate presence even before she knew anything about him. Since then she has found out much more about his many contributions to the world and his incredible life story. "He is a perfect example of love incarnate and it is a blessing to know him".
She is truly honored to be a part of Mohanji’s USA Country Council.
