A Spiritual Teacher Awakening Kundalini through Shaktipat, Bhramachari Dhammadassa (David Rivers) is a modern Tantric Yogi, a writer, an artist, a father and spiritual journalist.
In his early twenties he was profoundly impacted by a sudden and unexpected spiritual awakening, an awakening to the fundamental ground of Being, which consequently birthed a powerful flow of subtle life energy known as Kundalini. His spiritual journey has been filled with paradox, with bliss and pain co-existing in equal measure, in a kind of dance between darkness and light.
David was formally empowered and instructed by Master Charles Cannon to carry forward the lineage of Shaktipat — the direct transmission of awakened energy — passed down from Lord Shiva through Nityananda of Ganeshpuri and Swami Muktananda.
“The same command my Guru gave me, I now give to you: Awaken Kundalini through Shaktipat.”
Dhammadassa currently resides in Australia, where he continues to deepen his spiritual practice.
