Krishna Bhaavin
I am a curious learner, an intense feeler and a self-absorbed thinker, in that order. My role in the world is that of a modern-day yogi; also a spiritual trainer and a thought-provoking author; a personal coach and a healer.
Divinely guided by Mahavatar Babaji, I have intimately learnt with enlightened masters like Guruji Rishi Prabhakar, Leonard Orr and now Dattatreya Shiv Baba (Dr. Pillai). Currently at 41, I enjoy getting to the bottom of things and actively sharing my learnings. I have a voracious appetite for reading.
I speak and write about a whole gamut of topics from spirituality and emotional healing to productivity and enlightened prosperity. My deepest interest lies in the science of easy living.
Farming, not fishing
As originally published in India’s premiere spiritual magazine ‘Life Positive’ (January 2016 Issue)
While on a recent holiday to Sri Lanka, our tour operator took my family and me to a certain spice garden, one of Sri Lanka’s prime tourist spots. Once in, we were allotted a personal guide who took us around the entire property, sharing details of each plantation in exquisite detail. Thereafter, he took us to the garden’s shop where he extolled the herbal medicines prepared from these spices. So convinced were we that we purchased many of the shop’s products, though they were exorbitantly priced.
It was only after half an hour of our departure from the location that it dawned upon us that we had had a bad deal. It then became clear that the courteous guide was actually an undercover salesman, and the whole purpose of the paid guided tour was for it to culminate in an extravagant sale.

Letting go, letting God
As originally published in India’s premiere spiritual magazine ‘Life Positive’ (June 2016 Issue)
Letting go is not easy. Each of us holds on to certainty, to security, to convenience, to the sphere of the ‘known’. I had a similar issue. All my life. Until I did an experiment that my master had exhorted many of us to do. My master, the late Guruji Rishi Prabhakar (founder of SSY), regularly undertook a padyatra, a lone voyage, by and large on foot, as a mendicant. This is actually an ancient practice favoured by Adi Shankara, Buddha, Mahavira and Swami Vivekanand among others.
He gave a definite purpose to it: The purpose was to see God in whoever you meet, make yourself useful wherever you go, and to find security in the middle of the manifest insecurity.
