A Little About Myself. . .
I was born in Guyana which is a tiny county at the edge of the Amazon jungle and the coast of the Caribbean Sea . My ancestry, like many Guyanese, comes from India . When I was 6, my family became part of the Sivananda Yoga family. Being part of the Sivananda Yoga Ashrams and living a communal life based on spiritual practice was an absolute experience of joy. The days were focused on yoga, meditation, chanting, eating together, and lots of fun. At one point I was the assistant temple pujari and the highlight of my day was collecting flowers for Krishna .
Ashram living was for me any amazing experience of how people can live together, without competition and division, and together create a dynamic environment for creative expression, healthy living, and spiritual unfolding. There was always an intense spiritual charge with Swami Vishnudevananda’s presence along with all the other great spiritual teachers that would visit. This was the most peaceful and blissful time of my life and it is a place in my heart from where I continue to draw strength from. In 1989 I met my spiritual teacher in India . It was for me a period of intense mystical experiences and spiritual acceleration. My psychic abilities became very strong during this time. It was at times very disorienting for me, as I was not fully present in the material world. I would see energies and beings in the form of piercingly bright lights. My soul’s memories of past lives and other dimensions started flooding through. It was here that my psychic journey became a focused path of study. |
