About Me



""I am American". "I am Australian." "I am black." " I am white." "I am rich." "I am poor." These are our definitions. But in spirit we cannot differ, we're one and the same. The variations and definitions come only when we identify with the body and the mind."

Sri Swami Satchidananda

About me-

I'm an organically grown hippie's kid, a Californian, born and raised in Redding, CA. now living at Satchidananda Ashram- Yogaville, VA. The truest thing about me is that I'm a God-child.
