Ananda's story
Ananda’s initiation into the path of the Goddess began at an early age, sparking a lifelong dedication to the mastery of mind, body, and energy. He has spent the last 15 years in disciplined, daily practice—cultivating a profound, practical understanding of meditation, various yogic systems, and esoteric paths.
​
With his profound first hand experience, his association with an ancient spiritual lineage, along with his grounded presence - Ananda creates a deeply sacred, structured environment for individuals looking to untangle from their own mental mess, overcoming social conditionings and reclaim their own innate power.
Outside of his dedicated practice, he is a passionate painter, a martial artist and an avid adventurer who can often be found navigating the rugged terrain of the Himalayan mountains on his motorcycle.
Before I ask you to share your story, here is a bit about mine...
I have been called many names over the course of my life - some people have called me a Yogi, others came up with some other adjectives. But to tell you the truth, the only thing I have ever been interested in, is to know the truth about my own existence, to know my own life as it is.
I never had any interest in being a teacher or a master. What convinced me to start Adyakula, is the extent of suffering that most of us are going through due to our own ignorance - we have simply forgotten our own Divine essence!
​
I want you to know that I do not believe that I am better than you in any way, or that you are better than me in any way. I see you, just the way I see myself - as a creation of the Divine. And that is what we offer at Adyakula, we simply remind you of your own Divine nature.
​
In my own journey, I have gotten a lot of advises about many many things in life - but quite often, I have found that the definitions of a fulfilled life that most of society share - have always failed to satisfy my deepest longings. It is just that - for me, wealth was always about having an unbent spine, and the courage to follow my own heart. In my personal life & my spiritual life - all my years of sadhana (spiritual practice) was always about unboxing this Divine gift creation has bestowed upon me, my very own life! And now that my heart is full of joy, there is nothing more to be gained, nothing to be lost. So, I do not really intend to teach you my way, I simply wish to show you how to get back to your own path.​
​
My encounters with the Goddess started at a very young age and I have felt her presence in my every day life since then. Even now, as I am writing this, I can feel her essence flowing through me, and pouring into these words for you to read. That is also my approach to the workshops or courses you find on this website - they are manifestations of her will, and will be conducted in her presence, under her guidance.
​
So, when you come, don't approach me as a teacher or a master, but instead as a friend.
​
I will feel honored.
​​
I look forward to your presence and our interaction when you come to visit us!
​
Until next time,
- Ananda
"Love, is the highest of all sadhnas. Everything we teach, every sadhna, every technique is always about returning back to love. If you can love, even for a moment, with the whole of your being, as intensely and as completely as possible - you have already experienced the Divine. This love need not be for another being, this love need not be for any rhyme or reason, this love simply exists - just like you do - as a beautiful flower in the garden of the Cosmos.​ So, if you know love - you need not practice any sadhna - you are already there!​ But, if you have forgotten - if you want to love & be loved, but don't know how to love - come, let us sit together for a moment. Together, let us remember once again - who you truly are!"
