Rooted in the ancient yogic culture of India, Sri’s path has primarily been devoted to Shakti. Drawing on direct energetic activation & kundalini kriya yoga, his work is an invitation for the depth & intensity of Grace to unfold in her full expression.

All across India there are 51 sacred sites where the mother force manifests in a very strong way, these are collectively called Shakti-petha meaning ‘seat of power/divine energy’. Dunagiri is one amongst them, the whole temple is infused with subtle & strong spiritual energy of the divine mother as well as the collective field of many advanced yogis who have been doing their sadhana (spiritual practice) here. This temple is very ancient, it goes back not in years, centuries nor even millennia, which antiquities are usually calculated in, but rather in terms of Yugas! (Ages/Eras in Sanskrit) A place where mysticism abounds, Dunagiri vibrates with numerous stories, sacred legends and myths.

It was here that the great siddha made popular in Yogananda’s ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ as Mahavatar Babaji initiated the revival of Kriya yoga in the modern times. He is said to have meditated in this particular series of caves & it is also here that he initiated Lahari Mahasaya who’s considered the father of the kriya movement in the modern times. Simply sitting in the cave, one is immediately drawn into deep absorption and depths of meditativeness by the powerful energies that still pulsate here.

Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharaj-ji, embodied profound spiritual wisdom and divine love, revered as a saint across India. His ashram in Kainchi Dham, Uttarakhand, draws devotees worldwide seeking spiritual solace. The Hanuman temple within the ashram, honoring the deity known for unwavering devotion and strength, is a highlight. It's also where Ram Dass, Krishna Das, and others were called to stay with Baba.

The Kundalini Kriyas are advanced yogic meditations that come from the Tantric tradition. Initiation into the Kriyas is quite an involved process, here we draw on some aspects from the original practice that can help us both be more receptive to the transmissions, as well as better integrate the energy into our subtle body.
