Tantra Yoga is one of the world’s oldest spiritual traditions. Originating in the shadow of the Himalayas, it has guided seekers for millennia in the expansion of consciousness and the realization of humanity’s highest potential.
While the word Tantra is sometimes misunderstood in the modern West, its authentic tradition is a comprehensive path of meditation, self-discipline, spiritual growth, and service to humanity.

Dada Shiilabhadrananda is the author of Diet for Higher Consciousness, a book exploring the benefits of a vegetarian diet integrated with the holistic yogic lifestyle practiced in Ananda Marga.
Through decades of teaching, service, and spiritual practice, he continues to guide individuals in meditation, self-development, and the practical application of Tantra Yoga in daily life.
"The purpose of spiritual practice is to expand consciousness to experience bliss and express that awareness through service."
