She has been a veteran in the biotech industry for 35 years serving as a visionary, entrepreneur, scientist, founder, CEO, president and chairperson, a dedicated mother to three beautiful children, a responsible wife and a committed social worker. Following a divine call, Satya left the helm as a CEO in the biotech industry (cancer arena) after serving for 35 years and founded Path to Anandam (Blissful Living). Her personal mission is to live in love, peace, and Anandam, and to propagate blissful living by helping others become more self-dependent and self-reliant, especially destitute women and children. She has masters in organic chemistry from Gwalior, India, masters in biochemistry from the University of Illinois. She also did her business management and marketing education from the University of Berkeley, USA. For more than 20 years, Satya has been practicing and promoting awareness of blissful living through applications of timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and spirituality in daily life. She moved to the United States in 1969 from India, and shortly thereafter began on a path of self-discovery through meditation, studying the Bhagavad Geeta and spiritual practices. She creates a bridge between science and spirituality, and brings awareness to spirituality through ancient wisdom from India with a modern practical approach. The focus of Satya’s teachings is how to be happy, heal yourself, enhance the quality of life, experience blissfulness/Anandam and reach your unlimited potential by raising your conscious level through self-developed 7-Steps. These easy, simple and effective techniques (Anandam meditation and spiritual practices) for the body, mind and spirit have benefited 1000s of people. Satya Kalra has published many spiritual articles and bestselling books. My Questions & God’s Answers, 108 Mantras to Awaken Your Soul on Bhagavad Gita and Path to Anandam pocket book series —Yoga Beyond Asana… the Complete Guide for Blissful Life, Enjoy Worry-Free Life in 30 Days, Lasting Forever–Birth, Death and Beyond, Prosperity Forever through Art of Work.

In October 2006, I came to India for the first time (in this life) and became Sai Baba’s devotee. In April 2008, Sai Baba blessed my wife Liudmila and me (we got married in 1998) to stay with Him in India. We have been living in India ever since, leaving the country occasionally to renew our visas. In 2017 I made a poetic translation of Shrimad Bhagavad-Gita into Russian (ISBN 978-5-4260-0274-6) and Brahma Sutras (not published yet). I maintain some of the business contacts to translate for living, and translate articles for Sanathana Sarathi magazine for life.

He was in the forefront of all debates, discussions and school activities, and also excelled in academics. Keen on pursuing a medical degree, Manohar Lal started scouting for colleges. He enrolled himself in Neki Ram Sharma Government College, Rohtak and became the first member of his family to study beyond Class X. With a view to preparing for medical entrance test, Manohar Lal made his way to Delhi, initiating a chain of events that transformed his life. Despite pressure from his family to stick to farming as a profession, Manohar Lal took to business and simultaneously graduated from Delhi University. He has dedicated his life to public service and is known for his political acumen. He played the role of a master strategist and successfully led many electoral campaigns, the last being the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections in Haryana as Chairman of the Election Committee. He has been selflessly working behind the scenes in key party positions that earned him the reputation of a tough task master. He stayed in the forefront of innumerable social projects and humanitarian efforts. A follower of the dictum “Seva Pratham”, Manohar Lal headed the Antyodaya Yojana for BJP at the national level. It symbolised the belief of the party’s ideology and the effort to elevate those in the lowest rung of society. He has always been in the forefront of any social causes that required attention, including the rescue and rehabilitation efforts, like the one during the floods in Kakrola village, near Delhi’s Dwarka area, in 1978 and the earthquakes that rocked Jammu and Kashmir and Gujarat. When he was Pracharak at Rohtak, the district encountered floods that forced people out of their homes and caused extensive damage. The efforts to ensure security and food for the people were spearheaded by him. During the earthquake in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri and Poonch districts, the whole place was devastated, and once again, Manohar Lal was continuously involved in the rescue operations that included evacuating victims, arranging for their food, housing and rehabilitation.

He completed his graduation from Vallabh Government College Mandi and did his MA from Punjab University. He is the youngest of three brothers. He has two sisters. During his college and University day he was a member of ABVP and in the year 1993 he fought his first election from Chachiot assembly constituency when he was 26 years of age.
In 1998 he won his election from Chachiot assembly constituency and has been MLA from Chachiot (which after delimitation is known as Seraj assembly constituency) since then. He is MLA for five consecutive terms. He remained State BJP President and was Cabinet Minister in the previous BJP government. He has also remained as Vice Chairman, State Civil Supplies Corporation. He also remained as President of Bharatiya Janta Yuva Morcha.
He is married to Dr. Sadhna Singh from Jaipur and has two daughters.

Along with myriad ways in which he has tried to help the society, his efforts augur a virtuous generation of driven countrymen with a clear direction in life. Devoted to the divine ideas of meditation, service and dedication to humanity (satsang, sewa and sumiran) they founded GIEO organisation. He has been teaching practical benefits of meditation and prayers and dealing with the problems and their solutions in day-to-day life since 1990, inspiring and transforming lives. This transnational organisation has been aimed at bringing about a change much required in the society. Standing amidst the crowd but still apart from it, serving mankind self-lessly and inspiring others to do so, enlightening thousands of lives are few of finest qualities that Swami Ji is blessed with. Gurudev has made spiritually a way of living .Distribution of free monthly food to widows , organizing polio operation camps, educating children in remote rural areas, establishment of cow homes, offering free medical services to saints of Vrindavana are only glimpses of noble deeds that are a part of his mission. His commitment to serve God by serving mankind is exemplary.
