Is Jaya Kula associated with any particular lineage, teacher, or school of Tantra?

I have been formally trained primarily in the lineage of Paramahamsa Satyananda Saraswati of Rikhia, India. However, Jaya Kula is not an official representative of this lineage, or of any of the other  lineages into which I am initiated.

Do you teach?

Yes. Teachings are mainly in Portland, Oregon. Visit our classes and events page for information. All Jaya Kula teachings are “by request and by donation.” If you want to arrange for teachings in your area, please contact Shambhavi.

Do you teach Tantrik sexual practices?

No.

Will you place a link to my site on Jaya Kula?

Probably not. The people and products listed on Jaya Kula are those with which I have first-hand experience. Jaya Kula is not a general promotional site.

Why did you edit my comment on your post?

Jaya Kula exists to share accurate information and insights based on authentic teachings confirmed by practice. For this reason, I generally delete links to commenters websites, and I occasionally edit comments when I feel statements in them might be confusing or misleading. If there are any missteps, they are my own. This method is simpler, and safer, for everyone concerned.
