Tonmoy is an internationally qualified & experienced (34 years) Yoga Teacher/Lecturer, Teacher Trainer & Therapist in India & abroad . He is a devoted disciple of the Mahayogi Sri Thakur Janakinnath Brahmachari and works as the Course Director of Loknath Institute of Yoga India, Sri Sri Baba Loknath Brahmachari Mahamandal Ashram, India.
Tonmoy's grand father Sri Monmohan Shome was a devoted disciple of famous Yogi Sri Bholananda Giri and used to spend all the time of his last life at Bholalananda Giri Ashram, Barisal of eastern India (now Bangladesh).Under the influence of his father Sri Subhas Ranjan Shome, Tonmoy began practicing yoga in 1965, at the tender age of seven. From the time he was very young, Tonmoy had a deep desire to devote his life to a real Yogi. Every time he heard about a Yogi, he hoped that this Yogi could be his Guru. For many years, he was seeking a genuine Guru; a great Yogi. Unfortunately, he was disappointed many times when the people he met were not Yogis, but ordinary men like us.
At the age of 20, Tonmoy was sent to the Sri Sri Baba Loknath Brahmachari Mahamandal Ashram, Kolkata to give physical therapy to Mahayogi Thakur Sri Janakinath Brahmachari. After three weeks of physiotherapy, the young sage blessed Tonmoy. He said, “You have done the therapy very nicely and my pain is removed. God bless you Tonmoy.” “But,” the sage added, “You are looking so anxious; is this because of your mother?” Tonmoy was startled to hear the Yogi speak of his mother! How did this Yogi know that his mother was sick, and very close to death? Tonmoy had been very sad because of his mother. She had been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and had been bed-ridden for many years. Her body had been crippled very badly and all of her joints had become deformed. Her body weight had been reduced to 32 kgs (72 lbs) and she was dying.
Yogi could only know about Tonmoy’s mother by his Yogic power. When the Yogi asked, “What can I do for you?”
Tonmoy was so overwhelmed, he could not reply. Mahayogi told him, “Don’t worry, your mother will be normal and she is going to live a normal life in the future.” The Mahayogi used his Yogic power to cure his mother and now she lives a happy and pain free life at the age of 82.

This is when Tonmoy knew he had met his Guruji, and his life had been changed. At this moment, Tonmoy dedicated his life to healing and teaching all over the world for his great Master. In this quest, Tonmoy studied the Yogic System and its therapeutic application (DYT & YIC) at different Yoga schools and universities in India, including SVYASA of Bangalore, NS, NIS of Patiala and EYRIH of Kolkata.
Later, by the inspiration of his great master, Tonmoy studied Naturopathy (ND), Physiotherapy (DPT), Acupressure, Yogic & Therapeutic Body Massage, Magneto therapy, Diet & Nutrition (DND), Special Education for Mental retardation (DSE-MR) and Advance Therapeutic Hatha & Raj Yoga (DATHRY) in different Institutes and colleges in India. He also completed a Thesis on “The Aspect of Yoga & its utility” at IAYVDB. He has an MD (AM) in alternative medicines, which includes a deep knowledge of Acupressure and Magneto Therapy in India.
