Integral Yoga’s most senior monk, Swami Gurucharanananda Ma, lovingly known as “Mataji!” turned 92 years-young on April 1, 2021 (nope, not an April Fools Day joke). In this birthday video, Mataji shares her outlook and indomitable spirit and positivity as journalist Jeff Ananda Kamen interviews her. Mataji speaks about aging, life in the time of the pandemic, and living in the golden present.
Happy Birthday beloved Mataji!
