Shambhavi Sarasvati is the spiritual director of Jaya Kula. Her principle training is in the View and practices of Kashmir Shaivism, the Tantrik tradition of North India. She has been fortunate to have trained with several great teachers in this and other nondual traditions. She is an initiate in the lineage of Paramahamsa Satyananda Saraswati of Rikhia, India.

In October of 2005, Shambhavi received a life-changing transmission of the essence state of primordial, unconditioned Reality. Subsequently, she was given the name “Shambhavi.” During this period, through a series of dreams and other events, Shambhavi recognized the compassionate presence and guiding hand of her Satguru, Sri Ma Anandamayi. Shambhavi hopes to bring more people to an understanding of the breadth and depth of Ma’s teachings.

Shambhavi teaches traditional Tantra in ways that can be easily integrated into daily life. Her non-mystical View is that Tantra is a way to learn about and live in the fullness of Reality. This is self-realization. Nothing more or less.
