Muni Natarajan

During his 37 years living as a monk in a monastery dedicated to the practice of yoga, Muni often traveled to India where he became deeply involved with its people, spirituality, music and art. In the monastery, located on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, Muni worked as an artist, designer, writer and editor for the international magazine, Hinduism Today. During that time, he also studied the Indian musical system of ragam and talam and received instruction in tabla and mridangam drumming and classical Indian singing. Since departing the monastery in 2007, Muni is now enjoying married life and has been writing books about yoga, and sharing his inner discoveries through world music and art. He also teaches classes in yoga and meditation in Charleston, South Carolina, USA.
