THE GURU PRINCIPLE: A UNIVERSAL TEACHER

In every tradition of wisdom, there exists the idea of a guiding force that reveals truth to the seeker. In the Hindu stream of knowledge, this guiding presence is celebrated as Dattatreya, the embodiment of the Guru principle. He is not confined to one form, one location, or one era. He is the eternal teacher who manifests through nature, humanity, and the cosmos, continually reminding beings of their divine origin.

The Guru principle can be understood as both cosmic law and living guide. It is the energy that sustains the order of creation, and at the same time, it is the intimate voice of conscience within. To grasp this principle is to recognize that learning is unending, that every aspect of life has the potential to instruct, and that the true teacher is everywhere present.

DATTATREYA AS THE TEACHER PRINCIPLE IN HINDU TRADITION

Dattatreya is revered as the living manifestation of the Guru principle. His very name — “Datta” (given) and “Atreya” (son of Atri) — symbolizes the gift of divine wisdom to humanity. He is portrayed as an ascetic wandering freely through forests, yet at the same time as a cosmic presence governing the path of wisdom across ages.

Tradition describes him as pure awareness behind the three cosmic functions: creation, preservation, and transformation. This reflects the idea that the Guru is not one-sided but complete — guiding the disciple through the totality of existence, teaching how to create virtue, preserve truth, and transform ignorance into light.

One of the most powerful aspects of his teaching is the declaration that the whole universe is the Guru. Dattatreya is said to have accepted twenty-four teachers drawn from nature: the earth for its patience, water for its purity, fire for its consuming power, air for its freedom, the sky for its vastness, and many others — including animals, plants, and even the behavior of ordinary people. Each became a lesson in wisdom, showing that the Guru principle is not confined to human form but pervades every corner of life.

THE GURU IN NATURE AND THE ELEMENTS

The Guru principle shines clearly in Dattatreya’s relationship with the elements:

Earth teaches stability and tolerance, for it bears all without complaint.

Water teaches purity and service, for it nourishes life without discrimination.

Fire teaches transformation, consuming what is offered and giving light and warmth in return.

Air teaches freedom, touching all beings equally, yet remaining untethered.

Sky teaches vastness and detachment, for though all things arise within it, it remains unchanged.

Even animals become embodiments of the Guru. The cow represents selfless giving, sustaining life through milk. The dog symbolizes loyalty and alertness. The python, living contentedly without chasing prey, teaches the virtue of trust and acceptance. The bee gathers nectar from many flowers, symbolizing the seeker who gathers wisdom from many sources without clinging.

Through these examples, Dattatreya affirms that the Guru principle lives not only in exalted figures but also in the most ordinary aspects of life. The disciple who observes carefully can learn from a river as much as from a scripture, from a bird as much as from a master. All tribal traditions knew this fact very well.

THE COSMIC PRESENCE OF THE GURU PRINCIPLE

Beyond the lessons of nature, the Guru principle, or the Teacher, is also understood as a cosmic intelligence. It governs the cycles of time, the movement of the stars, and the unfolding of evolution. The universe itself is a manifestation of teaching: the sun rises and sets, offering lessons in rhythm and renewal; the seasons shift, reminding us of impermanence and return; the galaxies spin, revealing harmony in vastness.

The Teacher is seen as dwelling simultaneously in the transcendent realms and in the earthly world. He is said to reside in the subtle spheres of light, yet to walk the forests of India as a wandering ascetic. This dual presence conveys the truth that the Guru is both infinite and immediate, the cosmic order and the human companion.

THE INNER TEACHER

While Dattatreya is revered outwardly, his teaching directs the seeker inward. The Guru principle is ultimately seated in the heart. When the disciple stills the mind and listens deeply, the Guru reveals itself as the inner guide, as the conscience that cannot be silenced and the intuition that leads toward truth.

The highest realization of the Guru principle occurs inwardly. Within the lotus of the heart, the Guru appears as the flame of pure awareness. When invoked in meditation, this inner presence radiates as light, wisdom, and grace. In Guru Yoga, the disciple visualizes the teacher as inseparable from their own essence, until no boundary remains between the one who guides and the one who follows.

Here, the outer Guru becomes a mirror of the inner. Every sound becomes a mantra, every form becomes a symbol, and every breath carries the pulse of the eternal teacher. The disciple learns that all experiences, whether joyful or difficult, are revelations of the same guiding presence.

THE PATH OF THE DISCIPLE

The disciple of the Guru principle learns to see the sacred in all things. When walking on the earth, one sees the patience of the earth. When drinking water, one remembers purity. When gazing at the sky, one learns vastness. Every act becomes an offering, and every moment becomes a lesson.

On this path, surrender is not submission to another will but recognition of a universal order. The disciple gradually realizes that the Guru outside and the Guru inside are not two. The master, the teaching, and the disciple are three reflections of the same reality.

As this realization deepens, the disciple too becomes a channel of guidance for others. Just as Dattatreya absorbed lessons from the world and radiated wisdom, so too does the awakened one embody the Guru principle, extending the chain of light that never ends.

SYMBOLISM AND IMAGERY

Traditional imagery depicts Dattatreya as a serene ascetic accompanied by a cow, four dogs, and the sacred symbols of nature. The four dogs represent the four Vedas as the streams of knowledge that follow the eternal teacher. The cow embodies the earth itself, the ever-giving mother. These symbols affirm that the Guru is not only a human teacher but the entire field of life and learning.

His form conveys the essence of universality: he is youth and age, ascetic and householder, silence and song. He transcends dualities while embracing them, showing that the Guru principle is the fullness of life itself.

FINAL THOUGHTS

The Guru principle is the eternal teacher of the cosmos. In Hindu tradition, Dattatreya embodies this truth as the one who draws wisdom from every aspect of creation, showing that the world itself is the scripture and every element a verse of guidance. In the path of Guru Yoga, the disciple learns to see this principle everywhere — in earth, water, fire, air, and space; in joy and in sorrow; in outer master and inner light.

To live in awareness of the Guru principle is to live in a state of reverence, for nothing is outside the sphere of teaching. The Guru is the rhythm of the stars, the purity of water, the warmth of fire, the breath that sustains life, the vastness of space, the love in the heart. It is the eternal companion that leads the soul from ignorance to wisdom, from separation to unity, from mortality to immortality.

GANESHA -FIRST SHAMAN- EMPOWERMENT

Ganesha, in the Himalayan shamanic vision, is the First Shaman — the primordial walker between worlds. Born of Shiva and Kali, he carries the essence of the cosmic masculine and feminine in perfect union. He stands as the gateway, the one who opens all paths, for he himself was the first to cross the threshold of death and rebirth. By losing his original head he was transformed and he received the wisdom of the elephant, symbol of memory, intelligence, and cosmic perception.

He embodies the teacher principal, the Cosmic Jupiter, the communicator between realms, the one who speaks the language of all beings through impression and self reflection (swadhyaya). Ganesha holds the blueprints for spiritual growth: the wisdom to put order in our lives, the power to overcome obstacles and the joy of sacred play. His presence pulses with sounds that shape creation. Shamans, yogis and Siddhas knew this secret and used Ganesha's power for mastering their lives.

We offer The First Shaman Empowerment from the Himalayan shamanic tradition, rooted in direct transmission and ancestral lineage, with diksha to his mantra and yantra that connects you to all forms of Ganesha. If you feel called to receive it, contact us for more information.

Bon Jhankri Shamanism: Origins and Cosmology, Deities, and Sacred Tools

The Roots of Bon Jhankri Tradition
Bon Jhankri shamanism is a deeply rooted spiritual tradition found primarily in Nepal and parts of Tibet, especially in Himalayan border regions where indigenous animism, the ancient Bon religion, and Hindu–Buddhist syncretism converge. Bon Jhankri shamans act as healers, spirit mediums, and ritual specialists, preserving ancient knowledge systems that predate organized religion.

The term "Bon" refers to a pre-Buddhist spiritual tradition of Tibet and the Himalayas, rich with cosmology, spirit hierarchy, elemental practice, and ritual magic. The word "Jhankri", from Nepali, denotes a shaman—someone who has been called by spirits, usually through dreams, illness, or a supernatural encounter. Other names for the person with same, or similar powers are dhami, ojha or gur. In Tibet, Bon Jhankri practices often coexist with Dzogchen teachings of the Bonpo tradition, ta***ic Shaivism of Siddhas, kapalikas and aghoris. They are adapted to local customs, deities, and landscapes. Himalayan shamans serve as intermediaries between the human world and unseen forces, balancing spiritual energies through ceremonies, trance, offerings, and spirit journeys.

The Pantheon, Main Deities and Spirit Beings

Bon Jhankri cosmology includes a vibrant, layered universe inhabited by deities, ancestral spirits, nature guardians, and elemental beings. Some of the key divine figures and spirit archetypes include:

Bon Jhankri and Bon Jhankrini:
These forest-dwelling shamanic spirits—one male, one female—are central to initiation myths. They are said to abduct and train young shamans in otherworldly dimensions, teaching them healing arts, spirit negotiation, and magical rituals. Upon returning to the physical world, the initiated becomes a Jhankri. They are emissaries of Teacher's Principle of universe and first Shaman, the son of Shiva and Kali - Ganesha.

Kali (Durga):
Kali is viewed in Bon Jhankri practice as great Mother of whole creation. Her destructive power is not feared, but embraced for purification, protection, and the defeat of negative forces. Shamans may invoke her during trance possession or blood rituals to cleanse illness or spiritual blockages. The oldest statue in the region of the great Mother is found 104000 years ago.

Shiva and Bhairava:
Many Jhankris regard Shiva as the ultimate shaman and master of spirits. In his terrifying form as Bhairava, he is both protector and destroyer, invoked in intense rituals. Shamans may use symbols of Shiva such as rudraksha beads, ashes, or a trident (trishul), seeing themselves as embodiments of his divine power.

Nagas, Bon Jhakri, Kshetrapalas and Nature Beings:
Forest spirits, river guardians, mountain deities, and ancestral ghosts form an important part of the Himalayan spirit landscape. These are not mythological figures, but active forces that must be respected, fed, and communicated with in every ritual. Nagas are the most reverent spirits of the tradition.

Sacred Relationships – Ishta Devata, Kula Devata, Pitru
Devta

Another essential feature of Bon Jhankri shamanism is the emphasis on personal, familial, and ancestral deities, which reflect different levels of spiritual obligation and connection:

1. Ishta Devata (Personal Deity)
An Ishta Devata is the personal guiding deity of a shaman or devotee. Chosen through dreams, visions, lineage or simply preference, this deity becomes the practitioner’s primary spiritual ally, invoked in nearly every ritual. It may be a form of Shiva, Kali, Tara, any other deity or a local spirit.

2. Kula Devata (Clan or Lineage Deity)
The Kula Devata is the ancestral protector of one’s extended family or clan but especially denotes a primary deity of a spiritual lineage. Worship of the Kula Devata helps maintain continuity with ancestral roots, protects the household, and ensures blessings across generations. These spirits are often honored during rites of passage and seasonal festivals. They are regarded as ancestors of the kula or family, in mystical and literal way.

3. Pitru Devta (Ancestral Spirits or Forefathers)
The Pitru Devta are deified ancestors, often regarded as still-active members of the family in the spirit world. They are propitiated through offerings, fire rituals, and trance communications. If neglected, they may cause illness or misfortune, while their favor brings health and stability.

Together, these three categories form a relational web of spirit devotion that guides a shaman's ethical life, ritual responsibilities, and healing practices. A Jhankri must constantly negotiate with all three to maintain harmony between realms.

Shamanic Tools and Sacred Objects

Bon Jhankri shamans use a vast range of ritual implements, each acting as a spiritual technology that is actively functional in trance, healing, and protection.

1. Rudraksha Mala
The rudraksha mala is a sacred necklace of beads, representing spiritual armor. Worn around the neck or wrist, it aligns the practitioner with Shiva’s frequency and offers psychic defense. It is also used to count mantra repetitions or chant during ceremonies.

2. Shamanic Crown (Sirbandi)
Often handmade and unique, the shamanic crown marks the transformation of an ordinary person into a ritual authority. Adorned with images of gods, feathers, or protective symbols, it empowers the Jhankri to enter altered states and communicate with non-human forces. It protects the shamanic practitioners thoughts from being read by other shamans or spirits.

3. Ritual Knife or Khurpa
This curved blade is used to cut away spiritual impurities, perform symbolic acts of severing attachments, and defend against invisible threats. In some cases, it is used in animal sacrifice, though many modern shamans abstain from this practice.

4. Damaru Drum
The damaru, a hand-held double drum, is one of the most powerful tools for inducing trance. The drumbeat synchronizes brain waves and opens portals to other realms. It also serves as a cosmic signal, alerting spirits that a ritual is underway. It connects shamanic practitioner with a heart bit of Mother Earth- Bhumi devi.

5. Rattles (Jhyali/Chhanchhuna)
Rattles made of gourds, copper, or iron help disrupt negative energy in spirit world and body of a someone being healed and create rhythmic momentum in rituals. They are often played around the patient or the altar to summon helping spirits and drive away illness.

6. Kangling (Human Bone Trumpet)
Used in advanced Ta***ic and Bon rituals, the kangling is a trumpet made from a human thighbone. It is played to cut through illusion, summon wrathful deities, disrupt a focus of evil spirits or confront fear directly. Its eerie sound reminds practitioners of death and transformation.

7. Phurba (Ritual Dagger)
The phurba is a spiritual nail used to pin down spirits, stop psychic attacks, or fix intentions into the earth. Its triple blade represents the power to transmute body, speech, and mind. It is considered embodiment of Vajra Kilaya, wrathful manifestation of Shiva. Shaman uses it as a ritual anchor while identified with great god and destroys the negativity and illness in himself and the creation at the same time.

8. Trishul (Trident)
The trishul represents the energy of Shiva and the cosmic triad of creation, preservation, and destruction. Like 3 sides of the blade of phurba, it symbolizes overcoming 3 greatest enemies of man: ignorance, greed and fear. Jhankris use it in dramatic rituals to protect boundaries, challenge spiritual foes, and channel Shiva’s fierce blessing.

The Way of the Jhankri

Bon Jhankri shamanism is a sacred science of balance between self and cosmos, ancestor and descendant, body and spirit. Its mystical-magical practices all over Himalaya are a powerful vehicle of healing, insight, wisdom and continuity. By invoking personal deities (Ishta Devata), honoring family deities (Kula Devata), and revering the ancestors (Pitru Devta), along with other traditional practices, Jhankris preserve the sacred thread that ties humanity to the worlds beyond sight where its divine heritage is alive and awaiting to be rediscovered.

In a time when many feel spiritually disconnected, the Bon Jhankri tradition offers something both ancient and urgently relevant: the remembrance that life is sacred, the unseen is real, and that all creation is embodiment of one intelligence anchored in unconditional love.

SHAMANISM: THE PATH OF LIVING COMMUNION WITH CREATION

Shamanism is an ancient, living tradition based on direct experience with nature and universal forces, that precedes all religious systems we know. A way of being that recognizes the inner aliveness and intelligence of everything that exists.
Shamanic practitioner see the world as one breath, one body that is interconnected, conscious, and sacred in every expression.

At the heart of shamanism lies the understanding that everything is alive. Alive with spirit, consciousness, vibration. The tree outside the window, the stone underfoot, the river that flows, the wind swaying the leaves, even the stars spiraling through galaxies All are seen as living beings with its own soul, its own language, and its own consciousness. This worldview is called animistic, and for the shaman it is daily reality.

The shaman lives in constant communion with both seen and unseen worlds, with the spiritual and the material as one continuous flow. Relationships are developed with plants, animals, elements, ancestors, and star beings, in true, deep, and personal way. Through dreams, visions, ceremonies, and trance, the shaman communicates with these worlds, learns from them, and sometimes acts on their behalf.

The Role of the Shaman in the Weaving of Life
Shaman is not a title—it is a sacred responsibility.

Traditionally, shamanic call comes from the Spirit through spiritual or emotional crisis, illness, loss, or an initiatory experience of death and rebirth. It is not the person who choose to become a shaman. This path is not sought for power or identity. Often, it is a burden before it becomes a gift. If and when the call is accepted (non acceptance in some occasions leads to sever illness or even death) and years long training with utmost dedication is performed, the shaman becomes ready to serve community. He becomes a bridge between worlds, between the living and the ancestors, between nature and community.

The shaman fulfills many roles:

As a healer, they do not just treat the body, but also soul loss, energetic imbalances, ancestral trauma, and spiritual disconnection.

As a teacher, they help people relearn how to listen to the world—how to relate, respect, and participate in the great web of life.

As a priest, they maintain rituals, ceremonies, and sacred spaces, restoring balance between the human and the cosmic.

As a guide, the shaman supports passages through initiations, life transitions, visionary journeys, and the thresholds of birth and death.

Shamanic healing differs from modern therapeutic models because it is rooted in a broader cosmology. Symptoms are seen as part of patterns of imbalance that extend through the body, psyche, family, and even the land itself. They are not understood nor seen in isolation. The goal is always the restoration of harmony within the individual, the community, and in relationship with nature.

Mother Earth: The First Teacher
The shaman does not exist apart from the Earth. Nature is his teacher, his temple, and the mirror. Without a deep relationship with the land, there is no true shamanism. The Earth is respected, consulted, and honored as a living being before and during many important practices. Her spirits are approached with humility, gratitude, and offerings with the feeling of using the Power ''of'' and not the Power ''from'' the spirits.

To speak of shamanism without reverence for Mother Earth is like speaking of music without sound. The Earth is alive, and her dreaming supports us. When her rhythms are disturbed, when her waters are polluted and animals are wounded, the soul of humanity is wounded as well.

Many modern illnesses are in fact reflections of a deep separation from nature. Depression, anxiety, addictions, and feelings of emptiness often point to a forgotten connection with the living world and Spirit, with the harmony of life. The shaman helps to restore that connection by returning to the sacred within it.

Mystical Love for All That Is
Above all, shamanism is a deep and mystical love for Creation. Genuine shamanic practitioner feels it in his bones, in his breath, in every heartbeat. To him every being is a teacher. Every moment is a ceremony and every breath is a prayer.

Spirit is found by deepening our relationship with the nature and the world until it reveals its true face.

To walk shamanic path means to walk with awareness, respect, and openness to the mystery and nature with the responsibility to honor, protect, and nurture the harmony of all life.

In times of ecological crisis, spiritual emptiness, and cultural fragmentation, the shamanic path is a return to the essence of being human. A path of remembering, reconnecting, and restoring our place in the sacred circle of life.

IMPORTANCE OF THE BELIEF SYSTEM

Every human being lives according to a system of belief—whether consciously constructed or unconsciously absorbed. Beliefs shape perception. They influence how we interpret experience, how we define possibility, and how we respond to challenge, opportunity, and the unknown. In this sense, belief is not optional. It is foundational to consciousness itself.

Yet, belief systems can also become cages. When rigid, unexamined, or inherited without awareness, they begin to limit rather than liberate. They create fixed interpretations of reality, establish false absolutes, and divide experience into right and wrong according to the lens of doctrine rather than direct knowing. This is the nature of dogma, and it exists not only in religion, but in science, culture, politics, even in spirituality.

Therefore, a paradox arises: to evolve beyond limitation, one must go beyond fixed belief—yet to live and act meaningfully, one must also have a coherent framework of understanding. The solution is not to abandon all structure, but to adopt a system that remains functional, adaptive, and alive, one that promotes inner freedom, not limitation.

The seven principles of Huna serve as a valid framework for many Spiritual Artist that like us, value freedom above all. Huna is non-dogmatic, practical spirituality expressed in daily life. It is an esoteric introduced in modern times to the larger public from Hawaiian shamanism and philosophy, once spread in many parts of the world, presented as a way of understanding how mind, spirit, and energy interact to shape human experience. The word Huna means "secret" or "hidden," not because the teachings were meant to be exclusive, but because the truths they point to are subtle, often hidden in plain sight.

Rather than being a religion, it is a practical approach to living that focuses on empowerment, healing, and harmony with oneself, others, and the world. It views life as interconnected and fluid, where change is always possible through shifts in awareness, intention, and action.

Seven Huna principles are:

1. IKE – THE WORLD IS WHAT YOU THINK IT IS.

Consciousness is the First Cause. Reality conforms to the image projected by the sovereign mind.

Once a senior Shaman from Q'uero tradition shared a story from the beginning of his teaching process in the Andes. The female Shaman asked him who he was and what his story was. He explained that he was very successful in his job in the USA but he got sick and started a spiritual journey and healing: ''I am a man who tries to heal the relationship with the father. And what is your story?'', he asked her back. The Woman Shaman was listening with attention and then said: ''I am the force of the wind. I am the cry of the baby in the village. I am the spirit of the valley''.

We can see the world as we wish, and our vision will shape our reality completely. We can think that we are merely human beings that are meant to have a family, do a job, reproduce themselves and die. Or we can think that we are infinite, eternal spirits having experience as humans. Some Mexican Nahualeros call themselves ''travelers of the infinite''. There is no limit to how we can choose to perceive ourselves.

2. KALA – THERE ARE NO LIMITS.

Everything is connected.

Limitation is mostly a product of belief, not reality. You might believe that you can’t change careers, heal a relationship, or move forward because of past mistakes. But when you begin to let go of those mental boundaries, life responds and new possibilities emerge.

There is no limit to how wise, powerful or knowledgeable we can be. When we adopt that belief life becomes miraculous and we understand what true freedom really is. You wanna become a wise man? Dedicate yourself totally to the path. You wish to fly? There are techniques for astral travel. Wanna earn a million euros? Check what Warren Buffet has to say about it.

3. MAKIA – ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES.

Where you focus your attention, you direct your energy.

Focus is creative power. If your attention is always on what's missing, you'll feel stuck in lack. But if you start focusing on one thing you're grateful for every day, you begin to shift. Your energy rises, your mind opens, and new experiences come into view. In the same way if you think about the person, you are engaging with her on a subtle level and you can heal her by sending the right energy.

4. MANAWA – NOW IS THE MOMENT OF POWER.

The present moment is the only place where change can happen.

All your power lives here. This moment gives you direct access to your power. Past and future are structures in the present moment. The decision to change can be made only now and the action to make can be made only now.

5. ALOHA – TO LOVE IS TO BE HAPPY WITH.

Love in Huna means harmony, acceptance, and connection. It’s a state of being, not just a feeling. When we love somebody we are happy to be with them. Simple as that.

6. MANA – ALL POWER COMES FROM WITHIN.

You are the source of your own strength. We are personally connected with the Source.

True power isn’t taken or given—it’s realized. Mana is spiritual authority. It is the luminous essence that flows through the aligned will. It is neither borrowed nor granted by hierarchy or ritual; it is awakened through inner sovereignty.

7. PONO – EFFECTIVNESS IS THE MESURE OF TRUTH.

What works and brings balance is what is right.

There is no single correct way—there is no single path. The right way is the way that brings balance, healing, and effectiveness.

This is the law of spiritual pragmatism. Dogma is abandoned. There is no one truth but many paths that lead to harmony. What brings integration, vitality, and clarity is true—for you, for now. In the future even that might change, and something else might be more effective and true.

One person might find peace through meditation, another through movement or creating art. If a method helps you feel centered and clear, then it’s pono for you. Truth is flexible, not rigid—it aligns with what brings results and well-being.

Final Reflection

The Huna principles are not abstract ideas but living tools meant to be practiced, explored, and embodied in everyday life. They invite us to recognize our connection with all of the creation, and to take ownership of our lives. They have no commandments, no fixed cosmology and no external hierarchy. Their value is not measured by blind faith, but by effectiveness, clarity, and harmony.

It is a system of principles that describe how consciousness, energy, and reality interact. They offer structure without confinement, direction without dogma, and they do not separate the sacred from the practical.

This is why in the Art Of The Spirit school we appreciate it so much and we propose it as the path that encompasses all other paths.

Who are we and what are Arts of the Spirit?

God. Absolute. Shiva; Allah; Goddess. From remote times until today those were some names' humanity used to define ultimate reality of the Universe in which we live. This reality, this principle, in its first emanation expresses as Existence and Awareness of its existence. Every consciousness, every Self, every body and even every object – everything that is - is nothing else that personified portion of this Awareness. It expresses itself as infinite forms of his creation in all visible and invisible realms, from amoebas to archetypal beings, from atoms to galaxies, by being in the same time ones that lives the experience, observer of that experience and experience itself.

In this sublime dance of the creation Divine invents, creates, plays, imagine, supports, destroy, compresses and extends itself with an intention to experiment and then to evolve in all his parts, until they turn back again to experience unity which was deliberately left out. The ways which consciousnesses find in order to accomplish this long journey towards home, in our vision are ARTS OF THE SPIRIT.

On this portal there are several of them, some are traditional and others that can be called modern, born from our personal experience, but also from necessity to reword some old concepts and to propose some relatively new which goes right along with current planetary ascension. Our desire is to make this Arts accessible and comprehensible to all spiritual seekers in search for healing, empowerment and enlightenment, as well as to all the people whom for various reasons might not necessarily be inclined toward traditional spirituality, but nonetheless feel strong urge to change their lives and conditions of life on mother Earth.

Vladan Janković (Shankara) is born in Serbia (Jugoslavia). From 1999. He has lived in France and Italy, he currently lives in Lisbon, Portugal. He dedicated all his life to spirituality, even thought he was not always aware of that in the early childhood and teenage years. By growing up in atheist family and society he built his own relationship with the Universe and after some metaphysical experiences, most of them enthusiastic and successful, led by strong desire to become a part of ancient spiritual tradition, he became member of Orthodox christian church as that was the only option in his country at that time.
