The life and work of Dr. Aniruddh Singh are deeply influenced by the values and blessings of his Parents and Guru.
My father, Baba Dr. Lakhbeer Singh, was a man of vision and action— a businessman, community leader, and healer. As the former Vice President of the Amritsar Cantonment Board, he served society with dedication while remaining deeply engaged in spirituality, politics, yoga and social welfare. His courage, discipline, and spirit of service became the ideals I absorbed in my own work, whether in academia, healthcare, or yoga.
My mother, Smt. Indira Kumari, is a devoted yogi whose life radiates wisdom, simplicity, and grace. As an English teacher, she has nurtured students with patience and care, while guiding her family with love, discipline, and compassion. Rooted in bhakti and unwavering śraddhā (faith), she is deeply devoted to His Holiness Pūjya Śrī Mastram Baba Ji, whose blessings continue to guide her on the path of sādhanā, seva, and dharma. Alongside her teaching, she cultivates a love for yoga, music, and palmistry, holding an M.A. in Music and harmonizing intellect, artistry, and spirituality in her life.
Dr. Singh’s birth was regarded as a divine blessing, attributed to the grace of Guru Shri Mastram Baba Ji of Swargashram, Rishikesh, to whom the family has been devoted since the early 1960s. Baba Ji’s guidance continues to inspire Dr. Singh, who follows his Guru’s teachings of discipline, compassion, and spiritual service, integrating them into his life and work.

Dr. Anirudh Gurupratap Singh
Dr. Anirudh Gurupratap Singh was born to a family that was highly spiritual and for five generations, had been following the principles of Vedic ideology. Brought up in a peaceful village of Northern India, his formative years were spent absorbed in ancient traditions, Sanskrit scriptures and eternal duties of dharma (right living). Born in a family of Vedic scholars and Ayurvedic Physicians, his early childhood developed along natural lines of spiritual discipline.
From his grandfather, a renowned Ayurvedic physician, and his mother, an ardent devotee and practitioner of mantra sadhana, he imbibed the values of compassion, simplicity and selfless service. These initial influences fostered the base of a life spent in pursuit of higher awareness.
Dr. Anirudh Singh has earned a PhD and is also certified as an Ayurvedic Wellness Consultant. He finished his University philosophy studies in addition to Sanskrit at one of India's top universities and the search for more in-depth spiritual knowledge was sealed completely within him. In addition to studies, he has been practicing Vedic chanting, meditation and karma yoga since his childhood.
He completed his specialized training in Classical Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga and Ayurvedic treatments. He also studied Indian psychology, holistic nutrition and the science of breath (pranayama). With a foot in both the academic depth of today and the spiritual insight of thousands of years, Dr. Singh merges the best of both worlds – cultivating a teaching that is both scholarly, soulful, and powerfully transformative.
His childhood is full of both rural simplicity and philosophical depth, to has created the thoughtful, caring teacher he is today.
For Dr. Anirudh Gurupratap Singh, yoga began not in a yoga room, but in silence – amid nature, with reflections. He had a deep spiritual experience as a teenager that caused a tapp (inner transformation). One day, while seated in meditation by the Ganges, he found himself in the grip of what he calls a “moment of timeless stillness,” and it became the beginning of his self-realisation journey. And that was how the great spiritual quest began in earnest for him.
Dr. Singh has trained in various traditional schools of yoga from around the world. He learned from the direct disciples of Swami Sivananda, Swami Rama and Paramhansa Yogananda. His main areas of study were traditional Hatha Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and advanced pranayamas. For years, he travelled from ashram to ashram in Rishikesh, Kerala and the Himalayas, taking on the teachings in total surrender.
He is certified at the international level with Yoga Alliance as E-RYT 500 and has received advanced training studying Yoga Therapy, Meditation and Ayurveda. His revolutionary approach integrates classical scripture such as the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, The Upanishads, Karma Yoga, and Hatha Yoga Pradipika with contemporary practice.
As a student of dedicated personal practice for over 20 years and a practising teacher for more than 15 years, Dr. Singh has been privileged to have taught thousands of students across the globe. His teaching is intuitive, spiritually deep, and steeped in the wisdom of science. He has also led workshops and retreats internationally, including in India, Europe and Southeast Asia as well and the United States.
Dr. Singh has also taught teachers, therapists and corporate executives to incorporate yogic knowledge into everyday life. It’s through his yogic quest that he has evolved to today, and this is more than a personal evolution—it’s a pathway for all who strive for clarity, peace and their true life’s purpose.
Mrityunjay Yogpeeth came into existence with the vision of providing a sacred place for self-realisation and realising one’s true potential. Dr. Anirudh Gurupratap Singh decided to keep the real Yogic knowledge alive and make it available to all strata of people, and thus, this Centre was established. Named after Lord (Mrityunjay) Shiva, it symbolises his victory over death, i.e., each individual can achieve victory over the darkness (ignorance) of life through the light of knowledge.
Based on the five tenets of Satyam (Truth), Shuddhi (Purity), Karuna (Compassion), Shraddha (Faith), and Swadhyaya (Self-study), Mrityunjay Yogpeeth, being a yoga school it is not an institution - it is a tradition.
Yogic classes, treatments, and sadhana programs are purposed to awaken consciousness of self, enhance overall well-being, and remove barriers of ego.
To inspire people with yogic wisdom and practices for healthy and conscious living.
To provide a worldwide spiritual refuge for those together seeking truth, peace and self-realisation.
Dr. Singh had imagined Mrityunjay Yogpeeth to be the lighthouse of life—it would guide you throughout your life in the darkness to enjoy the radiance of inner joy and mission.

Dr. Singh’s work has won him numerous awards:
The legacy he established now serves as an avenue that brings the old and new worlds together in a progressive environment for growth and healing.
Dr. Anirudh Pratap Singh thrives by the Ayurvedic philosophy of balance—“Swastha”, being in the Self. His way of life is a brilliant fusion of yoga, ayurveda, dharma and sustainability.
He eats a sattvic vegetarian diet filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables, Ayurvedic herbs and mindful eating habits. Food is valued as a sacrament and is consumed in silence or a prayerful mode of consciousness. Regular detoxes, herbal teas and digestive discipline are at the centre of his nutritional regimen.
Ahimsa, aparigraha, and santosh are not theoretical concepts but lived realities. He espouses an eco-friendly life — natural products, independent from plastic, local artisans and farmers.
For Dr. Singh, spirituality does not solely take place over a mat or in a temple. It is in the way we walk, talk, serve and breathe. How he lives is a silent demonstration against consumerism, an invitation back to presence, simplicity, and connection — with Self, Nature, Spirit.
His life is his message — peace, wisdom, boundless compassion.
Whether you desire individual support in the areas of health, spiritual development, or emotional healing, Dr Anirudh Singh provides private consulting that is grounded in yogic wisdom, intuitive knowing, and loving presence.
