Learning with Osho

I spent 17 years learning directly from the Enlightened Mystic Osho, in his physical presence and a total of 26 years in his community.

I was blessed beyond measure to absorb his powerful transmission of meditation and Tantra in multidimensional ways. Even after he left his body in 1990, his mystic presence continues to ignite a fire of transformation in countless people around the world.

I am honoured to offer what I have learned with him as a continuity of his lineage.

Ma Ananda Sarita — Tantra approach
My approach

My approach to Tantra

I am committed to authentic Tantra, rooted in Meditation and Love. Tantra for me is a sublime path to enlightenment which explores polarities and the alchemical transformation that takes place when opposites meet in the light of awareness.

Tantra methods open us to our fullest potential through our instinctual nature, senses, emotions, the chakra system, kundalini energy and consciousness expanding states of being.

The Woman Behind the Teaching

I have been deeply immersed in my personal path of Tantra, Meditation and Spirituality since 1973.

During my work as a healer and coach, I observed that the root cause for many physical, emotional and mental problems in people stems from unresolved sexual and relationship issues.

I discovered that Tantra is the perfect antidote for these issues. Tantra offers transformation on all levels, accepting the human being as he or she is and using this as a door into expansion of consciousness.

I strongly believe that there is a global awakening happening right now, for personal and planetary enlightenment. Tantra offers a wise path for this to manifest.

I was initiated by him into Neo Sannyas shortly afterwards."
