Our Story
ABOUT
Born in an Ashram in Philadelphia, Paul Benner was raised in the USA, India and Vancouver, British Columbia. From a young age, Paul attended a Gurukula, where he pursued Bhagavata Purana, Bhagavad Gita and Yogic theological studies. Paul was a joyous, kind and charitable young boy, who was always eager to learn and make a positive difference in the world by helping others. Having endured traumatic experiences in his early childhood, Paul swore he would never be like his abusers.
