About us

Tara, my companion, brings a depth of knowledge, sensitivity and experience that enriches Siddha Academy of Tantra Arts - a sanctuary dedicated to preserving and sharing the profound wisdom of Vajra Yogini Tantra. Our vision through Siddha Tantra Arts is to offer comprehensive teachings in the spiritual lifestyle and art forms of Kulluta Siddhas of Himalaya that have shaped our own journeys.

As the co-founder of Siddha Academy of Tantra Arts, her devotion to the path of yoga, tantra, and specifically Vajra Yogini Tantra, is truly remarkable. Tara's workshops and training sessions, both physical and online, serve as a beacon for those seeking philosophical and spiritual enlightenment espcially in the western world who are interested in the esoteric wisdom of the east.

Beyond her spiritual pursuits, Tara is a trained Physiotherapist from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, her expertise lending a unique perspective to our teachings. With a linguistic prowess spanning many languages, she communicates the wisdom of Siddhas in her narrations for documentaries, making them accessible to a broad audience.

Alongside Tara, I, Ashutosh, have devoted more than twelve years of my life to rigorous training in the traditional school of ancient siddhas in the Himalayas. This journey has allowed me to deepen my understanding of Vajra Yogini Tantra, a wisdom I am privileged to now share through the Siddha Academy.

Born into a Brahmin family with an ancient heritage, I was connected with the venerable practices of Kubjika Tantra, Yoga, and Karmakand rituals. Notably, my paternal aunts were all experts in Ḍāyan Vidyā, a form of negative witchcraft deeply rooted in Vajra Yogini Tantra. This early exposure had a profound influence on my spiritual orientation, naturally steering me towards the practices of Vajra Yogini as I matured. Blessed by the Siddhas of Himalaya, I was fortunate to be deemed worthy of receiving their profound wisdom and grace, further enhancing my spiritual journey.

As the co-founder of Siddha Academy of Tantra Arts, I too conduct workshops and training sessions, both physical and online, on yoga, tantra, and other philosophical, spiritual art forms.

Also as fruit of my years of seva or service to my gurus, I was guided and trained in the Jwalamalini Vidya - a healing artform of traditional Siddha Shamanic practices. This I conduct on special request. Each session is a sacred journey into the world of the unseen, aiming to promote health, harmony and balance.
