Lakshman Joo was a Kashmiri Brahmin born on May 9, 1907 in Srinagar, in the region of Kashyapamera (shortened to ‘Kāshmir’ in modern times), India. This is the sacred land in which a great Rishi of ancient times - Kashyapa - lived and practiced Yoga and hence the name of the land.

✨After getting enlightened at the age of 19, Swami Lakshman travelled all over India, met and spent time with great souls such as Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Aurobindo, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Swami Muktananda.

✨The Swami is one of the latest and greatest teachers/exponents of Ta**ra and what is popularly known as ‘Kashmir Shaivism’ in modern times.

✨The Swami had many Indian as well as non-Indian disciples, through whom he ensured the teachings of Kashmir Shaivism continue to be extant.

✨In India, Swami Lakshman’s teachings are carried on by Ishwar Ashram Trust, founded shortly after the Swami left his body.
