Charles Berner began his study of science, metaphysics and scripture as a child. In his quest for the truth he visited many spiritual teachers and experimented with many spiritual growth paths.
He created the Institute of Ability, Mind Clearing Programs, and the Enlightenment Intensive, a process that is used today world-wide to seek the truth by conscious, direct knowledge.
In 1973 after twenty five years of searching, he met Swami Kripalvananda while on a pilgrimage to India and received shaktipat initiation from him. In due course, Swami Kripalvananda bestowed upon him the highest yogic teachings and initiations.
Charles Berner as Yogeshwar Muni has kept up a rigorous schedule of meditation of eight hours a day since his initiation as well as teaching his own students. He has taught and written extensively on Natural Meditation and yogic scripture.
He developed the Lila Paradigm from his direct knowledge of the Truth underlying the fundamental principles of the universe. Recently in collaboration with Dr. Biljana Percinkova of the South East European University in Skopje, Macedonia, they verified his theory with scientific proofs.
He is responsible for the carefully rendered English edition of Yogacharya Kripalvananda's Revealing the Secret, Commentary on The Small Burning Lamp of Sun-Moon Yoga, thus giving serious aspirants who are not familiar with the traditional cultures of ancient and modern India access to the esoteric realm of Sun-Moon Yoga.
Charles Berner passed away on June 24, 2007, at his home in Merimbula, New South Wales, Australia.
