Who is Amaranada Bhairavan?
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 six 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, artist and author, Amarananda Bhairavan holds a Masters Degree in Sanskrit from the University of Bangalore, Bangalore, India. His sacred yantra paintings hang in homes and temples throughout the United States and India.  Amarananda regularly travels the world giving lectures and workshops, performing pujas and fire ceremonies, and conducting private consultations and healing rituals.
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 on the painting of sacred yantras as a spiritual ritual for empowerment and devotion.

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