Krishnamacharya (Master E.K.), born on 11 August 1926 in Bapatla (India), was a university lecturer for Vedic and oriental literature at the Andhra University in Visakhapatnam. Besides this activity, he founded numerous spiritual centres in India and Western Europe as well as schools and more than 100 homoeopathic dispensaries in India, where the sick are treated for free. He made the work for the well-being of society the centre of his teaching and his life. He leads thousands onto the path of yoga, to a way of life and balance between spirit and matter and of harmony between man and cosmos.
In his 24th year, Master CVV appeared to him while meditating. This opened the Path in his life. He identified himself with the work of world goodwill and the Planetary Hierarchy in 1953.
