about member

[Guest guest]

Dear Sirs

 

I have asked to become a member of your group and you have asked me to give some

information about myself.

 

I have been a follower of Tripura Bhairavi for 25 years or since she appeared to

me in a dream following my initiation.

 

My teacher was initiated into the tradition of Tripura Sundari by

Chandrasekh Harendra Sarasvati Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram in the 1960s.

 

I also have links with

the AnandaNathas

and a teacher of Sri Vidya from Madras that was linked with the Ramakrishna

mission there.

and a connection with Tagore and his idea about Sri Vidya practices.

 

I have been strongly influenced by Ramakrishna Paramahansa and Yogananda

Paramahansa

in their devotion and ability to stay still in meditation

waiting for the answere from the mother

and to receive it.

 

I am a psychiatrist,

married with six children

three of which are long gone from the nest.

 

My yogic name is

Bhairavanandanatha

or just Bhairav

 

I have special interest in the concept of holy pilgrimage

and how such pilgramage may have been planned in ancient cultures

by the creation of placenames and weaving religious legends into them.

This relates to geometry of placenames and links with points of reference

such as Mount Meru in the Himalayas.
