About Me

I am a sannyasi (Hindu monk) of the Dasnami Vedantic order. In India I stay at my Guru's ashram, the Yoga-Vedanta Kutir in Allahabad and in America I stay at Kali Mandir, a traditional Hindu temple dedicated to the Divine Mother in Laguna Beach, California, where I am privliged to serve the awakened deity of Ma Dakshineswari Kali and Her devotees.
