Prajna Lisa Hallstrom

I am a devotee of the great Hindu saint, Anandamayi Ma and which was my PhD dissertation was published in 1999 by Oxford University Press, called Mother of Bliss. I began practicing yoga and meditation in 1970 and, since then, have had the blessings of being in the presence of many great souls--Swami Muktananda, who was my first guru, Swami Satchidanada, Baba Hari Dass, Amma, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, and many others. My life is one of service, leading kirtan and running workshops and retreats on various aspects of the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, including Swakriya Yoga and mediation.
