A practitioner trained in living traditions.

Nrikeśarī Dāsa is an Ayurvedic practitioner, Vedic astrologer, and Yoga Therapist trained in Ayurveda through Dr Vasant Lad and Dr Jayarajan Kodikannath, and in astrology through the 500-year-old Śrī Ācyūtānanda lineage under Pandit Sanjay Rath and Freedom Cole, and in the Yoga tradition of Śrī T. Krishnamacharya through A. G. Mohan. He was fortunate to be initiated into Bhakti Yoga by Devamrita Swami, coming in the disciplic succession of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda. He combines these classical systems with a grounded understanding of human behaviour and psychology — a precise, results-driven approach to resolving root causes and creating lasting change.

My Story

A life dedicated to practice.

For over a decade, Nrikeśarī has immersed himself in the study and practice of Yoga, Ayurveda, Vedic astrology, Vedānta, meditation, and Vedic wisdom. He spent six years living as a monk in temples and āśrams across India, Australia, Mexico, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States — dedicated to daily practice, contemplative living, and the study of traditional knowledge systems. Through these living traditions, he has served more than 500 clients and students.

Rather than offering temporary solutions or surface-level advice, his work focuses on addressing imbalance at the root — through practical, sustainable, and deeply personalised guidance.

The Lineage

An unbroken thread, from the ṛṣis to today.

Every teaching offered here was first received. It descends, hand to hand and heart to heart, from the ancient seers who heard it — through the guru who carried it across the world — down to the living teachers who continue it now. These are the ones to whom everything is owed.

His Holiness Devamrita Swami, teacher of Bhakti Yoga.
Bhakti Yoga

Devamrita Swami

I offer my respectful obeisances to my spiritual master, Devamrita Swami, whose exceptional skill in sharing Bhakti Yoga, compassionate service, and dedication to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission have helped make this wisdom accessible throughout the Western world.

Param Guru

Śrīla Prabhuṕāda

His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Ioffer my respectful obeisances to my spiritual param guru, Śrīla Prabhuṕāda, whose books, teachings and students allowed me entrance into the Vedic pantheon and an understanding of the world more extraordinary than anything I could have ever imagined. Śrīla Prabhuṕāda's translations of the 5000-year-old Vedic classics, such as Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, helped me to assimilate the timeless wisdom of an advanced civilisation from many millennia ago. Through his books, teachings, and personal example, Śrīla Prabhupāda brought Bhakti Yoga—the Vedas’ ultimate conclusion—to the Western world.

In Reverence

I offer my respectful obeisances to all Vedic seers and ṛṣis—past and present—
whose realised vision continues to illuminate the path of wisdom.

Śrī Vyāsadeva

Compiler of the Vedas · Author of the Mahābhārata

Śrī Vyāsadeva gathered and arranged the Vedic revelation into four Vedas, preserving its wisdom for generations to come. He also composed the Mahābhārata—including the Bhagavad-gītā—and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, giving the timeless vision of the Vedas a form that could be heard, studied, and lived.

From one vast current of revelation, Vyāsa shaped a living library for humanity.

Through Vyāsa, the seers’ vision became a tradition we can still receive today.

Maharṣi Parāśara

Father of Vyāsa · Seer of the Jyotiṣa Śāstra

A great sage of the Vedic age, Parāśara Muni stands at the very source of the astrological tradition — father of Śrīla Vyāsadeva, who compiled the Vedas, the Bhagavad-gītā, and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. To him is attributed the Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra, the foundational classic of Jyotiṣa, in which the movements of the planets are read as the unfolding map of karma across a soul's journey through birth, life, and death.

"The astrologer reads not chance, but consequence — how the living entity becomes entangled in material nature, and how, in time, it may be released."

Studied today under my Jyotiṣa gurus, Śrī Freedom Cole and Pandit Sanjaya Rath — on whose order I offer my services.

Patañjali Ṛṣi

Author of the Yoga Sūtra

Patañjali gave the practice of Yoga one of its clearest and most enduring formulations. In the Yoga Sūtra, he describes a complete path for understanding the mind, cultivating disciplined practice, and resting in the awareness beyond its fluctuations. His teaching remains a foundation for the study and therapeutic application of Yoga.

“When the fluctuations of the mind are stilled, the Seer abides in its own nature.”

Studied today through the living Yoga tradition of Śrī T. Krishnamacharya and A. G. Mohan.

Caraka Ṛṣi

Father of Āyurveda · Seer of the Caraka Saṁhitā

Caraka Ṛṣi stands among the great physicians of the Ayurvedic tradition. The Caraka Saṁhitā presents health as a foundation for purposeful living, bringing together the body, mind, senses, and deeper life of the person. His work continues to guide an intelligent, compassionate approach to healing.

“The purpose of Āyurveda is to preserve the health of the healthy and to cure the disorder of the sick.”
