Meet the Author

Shambhavi Sarasvati has trained for more than twenty-five years in the view and practices of direct realization Tantra (Kashmir Shaivism). She has been fortunate to have studied with several great teachers in this tradition and in the tradition of Dzogchen from Tibet. She is the spiritual director of Jaya Kula, a nonprofit organization in Portland, Oregon. Shambhavi is a householder sannyasini, an initiate in the lineage of Paramahamsa Satyananda Saraswati of Rikhia, India and a devotee of the Bengali saint, Anandamayi Ma. She is the author of Tantra: the Play of Awakening (2012) and Pilgrims to Opennness: Direct Realization Tantra in Everyday Life (2009). In addition, she published an academic book, Avatar Bodies: a Tantra for Posthumanism. She holds an MFA in Fiction from Mills College and a Ph.D. in Modern Thought and Literature from Stanford University. Shambhavi left academia in 2004 in order to devote herself to practice, writing and teaching in the tradition of direct realization Tantra. "Tantra is a way to find out who you really are and to live in the fullness of Reality. This is Self-realization. Nothing more or less." --Shambhavi Sarasvati
