Yogacharya Satya Narendra

Originally from Odisha, India, Satya Narendra now resides in Sydney, Australia, along with his wife Sharmila and their two daughters, Pooja and Anjali. Their family’s journey into the practice of Kriya Yoga began in 2001 when they connected with Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji in Sydney. Sharmila had earlier received initiation from Gurudev Hariharananda Baba in Rourkela many years before, and subsequently Satya Baba and their daughters were initiated by Prajnananandaji in Sydney.

With the blessings of Guruji, Satya and Sharmila played a key role in establishing and nurturing the Kriya Yoga programme in Australia. Satya currently serves as Vice-President of the Australia Kriya Yoga Association (AKYA) and is Centre Leader for New South Wales.

In 2022, with encouragement from Guruji, Satya began guiding meditation sessions and offering discourses during Kriya Yoga programmes; and in 2025 he was authorised to initiate sincere seekers into Kriya Yoga.

Satya holds a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering from India and an MBA from Macquarie Graduate School of Management in Australia. He worked at IBM for over 20 years in service management, overseeing operations across ANZ, Asia-Pacific, South America and Eastern Europe. After leaving IBM in 2014, he transitioned into consulting and now teaches Business Management at TAFE NSW.
