About bindu
bindu was raised as a devout Christian in the Australian outback until he was 15, whereupon he lived as a traveling itinerant poet for 12 years, hitch-hiking all over Australia. during this period he supported himself by begging and scrounging food where he could. Sometimes he was able to get work as a farmhand or laborer, working long and laboriously with a shovel or as a machine operator or mechanic. The money earned this way he shared with whoever he met until it ran out. whereupon he often would go hungry for many days.
Along the way he studied many of the classics of western philosophy such as Aristotle, Plato, Kant, Locke, Socrates, Dante, Emerson, Madam Blavatsky, Alice A. Bailey and The course in Miracles in parallel with works from the East such as The I-Ching and The Tao-Te Ching, and from such writers as Omar Kiam, Kahlil Gibran and Rumi.
He involved himself in many religions such as Pentecostalism, Christianity, Spiritualism, Witchcraft and Qabalism, Shintoism, Jainism, Shamanism, Islam and various flavors of Buddhism including Theravada, Zen and Mahayana discarding all as steps upon the path.
After exhaustive searching among the philophy's of the East and West he turned to Hinduism and began constantly meditating and chanting Hindu Bajans. and studying Yoga texts and books from many sects of Hinduism then diverged into Saivism tracing the path of truth as it led ever deeper.
In 1985 he became a Siddha Yogi, whereupon he began studying Tantra, Pranayama and Veda and many classics and books on the nature of awareness and Consciousness. sitting in constant meditation in his heart as went about his daily routine.(most of the relevant books and classics are listed on the Ananta Yoga Web site.. http://www.upnaway.com/~bindu/anantayogaweb
After 4 years as a Siddha Yogi he renounced all practices and study, and for the next 7 years refused to teach anyone and lived like a normal person, after a further 8 years of meditation, after hundreds of incredible realizations, the consciousness of that yogi dissolved into the absolute light and disappeared.
Approximately ten years ago he began teaching, and for the next 3 years he taught others from his own experience.
ah! but then the dawn of compassion.......
A quote from Avadhuta Gita:
Verse 27 Chapter 1.
I do not know the Supreme; how shall I speak of Him? I do not know the Supreme how shall I worship Him? If I am the supreme One, who is the highest Truth, who is homogeneous Being and like unto space, how then shall I speak of Him and worship Him?
Recently it has become apparent that what has been given must be shared.
Upon realization, who is it that arises from meditation?
It is certainly not i - - but Jagadananda.
