Bhakta School Offers Transformative Healing

by Martin Miron

The Bhakta School of Transformation was founded by President and Board Chair Sadguru Kedarji in 2007. It was established out of his more than 35 years of serving the public’s spiritual and well-being needs through the Ecology of Well-Being program that employs methods framed in the Four Pillars of Total Well-Being: The Spiritual Power, Improved Mental State, Emotional Resilience and Vibrant Health. This approach to permanent spiritual transformation and well-being has undergone numerous case studies and thirdparty surveys in which student’s progress has been tracked and studied over periods of 3 to 5 years or more as they have applied the methods taught and embraced the leadership offered in the transformation of their lives for the better. Two out of every three students attending the school’s curriculum report both short- and long-term benefits from attending programs offered by The Bhakta School of Transformation. Kedarji says, “We are a spirituality and well-being school teaching the science of yoga, meditation and well-being. Our success is based on our commitment to transform lives by raising the individual and collective awareness and holistic experience of people of all cultures and races. Our organization exists to cultivate whole life transformation through our Total Well-Being curriculum, in order to uplift humanity by improving the quality of one’s daily life. We are organized exclusively for charitable purposes. “The Bhakta School serves men and women from all backgrounds. Most of our programs are offered for adults, with community outreach events that are also tailored to organizations and institutions. We are family-friendly. At the Bhakta School of Transformation, our purpose is to lead others in becoming established in the experience of inner peace that provides a new dimension of inner strength, wellness and life-changing skills that enrich all of life. This foundational premise threads through each and every one of our program offerings and is backed by documented testimonials that convey our success. ” The organization is staffed by volunteers, including Deana Tareshawty, Kambra McConnel and Shanti Harkness. They offer public programs twice each month at a retreat center in Boardman, Ohio, and regional venues in other parts of Ohio and the greater Pittsburgh area. In addition, they offer several courses and events online, along with live webinars, weekend and weeklong retreats throughout the year.

“Volunteer opportunities exist in the areas of program support and development, bookkeeping, marketing and promotion,” says Kedarji. “Total Well-Being is the means for bringing into perfect alignment all the subtle energies of your being, by mastering all the energies of your life in the four fundamental areas; spiritual power, improved mental state, emotional resilience and vibrant health. All of our programs, courses and events are focused on providing people with evidence-based, time-honored principles and methods for experiencing and applying these four pillars. Our goal is to lead people in the methods to cultivate whole life transformation through our Total Well-Being Curriculum, in order to uplift humanity by improving the quality of everyone’s daily life.” The Bhakta School of Transformation is launching their fourth 90-day Total Well-Being Challenge and a new membership drive with a package that includes monthly live meetings online with expert speakers and practitioners in the field of holistic well-being and whole life transformation.
