I scheduled a rice reading with Nandu because I was in transition and looking for greater clarity and energy for the next steps in my journey. Nandu's skillful, humble and sincere approach allowed me to feel completely safe, open and seen at the most profound level. Nandu masterfully shared what he saw and quietly assured me that, "all is energy and can be changed with intention." I felt a deep healing during the session and the insights I gained were powerful and empowering. I left with renewed energy and tools for continuing to clear blocks that no longer serve me.

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.
