Amarananda is a compassionate and humble light being who helped me to heal from the death of our baby daughter. The simple and powerful ritual that Nandu performed allowed me to completely move on in my life. During the weeks after the ritual, I felt awed by my renewed sense of joy and appreciation for the blessings in my life. I feel deeply grateful for and inspired by Nandu's love and guidance.

Amarananda Bhairavan Biography

image
Sri Amarananda Bhairavan, affectionately known as Nandu, is an internationally renowned Vedic Priest and Master Healer. During his joyous childhood amongst an extended family on the west coast of India, Amarananda trained in Oti vidya, a tantra unique to Odiyyathis or tribal medicine women of Kerala. Initiated at the age of nine by his aunt, Amarananda Bhairavan remains a direct descendant of this eight thousand year old tradition of goddess worship. His mystical education and initiations in the ancient Oti vidya tantric practices are the subject of his two visionary books: Kali’s Odiyya: A Shaman’s True Story of Initiation and Medicine of Light: A Shaman’s Journey through Mystic Space-Time.

A Vedic scholar, mystic, and Master of sacred art, Amarananda Bhairavan holds Masters Degrees in both Sanskrit and Physical Therapy. For his expertise in Hatha Yoga, he was awarded the title Yoga Shiromani.

Amarananda regularly travels the world giving retreats and workshops, performing pujas and fire ceremonies, and conducting private consultations and healing rituals. His sacred yantra paintings adorn homes and temples throughout the United States and India.

Embodying a rare combination of wisdom, compassion, humility and transformative power, Amarananda uses ancient Oti vidya rituals to purify consciousness and remedy distress. Amarananda also teaches classes and privately accepts commissions of the painting of sacred yantras as a spiritual ritual for empowerment and devotion.

Most recently, Amarananda created the Deep Soul Healing® and Complete Wellness System which adapts these ancient teachings to the modern world.

His next book, Aghora Rahasyam—Tantric Mysticism and A Doctrine on Consciousness, is currently in progress.
