Guru Mandala
A living stream of grace & knowledge.
To understand a Guru is beyond us — but it can be said that the Guru is not just a mere teacher. People use the word “Guru” loosely; it is a sacred word, and must be respected.
“There is no principle higher than the Guru, no austerity greater than the Guru. There is nothing higher than the knowledge of Truth. Salutations to that revered Guru.”
— Guru Stotram (from the Guru Gita), verse 11
The Gurumandala
The Gurumandala is the sacred constellation of revered Gurus — realised adepts of Yoga and Tantra. Every personality in the Gurumandala is a living continuum through which knowledge, Sadhana and Grace flow from Guru to Shishya, generation after generation.
To bow to the Guru is to bow not merely to an individual, but to the entire stream of wisdom and Grace that stands behind the Guru.
Yoga Shakti flows from this living tradition — the Guru–Shishya Parampara — where knowledge is passed, breath to breath, from Master to student. The practice is rooted in Tantra and the classical yogic texts, and carried forward with the grace of realised Masters. Ashish Anant is a disciple of Ma Shakti Devpriya AnandNath Ji and Acharya Agyaatadarshan AnandNath Ji.
Ma Shakti Devpriya AnandNath Ji and Acharya Agyaatadarshan AnandNath Ji are revered Tantra Masters and co‑founders of The Shakti Multiversity.
Together, they carry the lineage of the Himalayan Master Shri Hayagreevaanand Nath Ji in the rare Sri Vidya Krama tradition. Their learning also encompasses the Vama‑Tantra tradition, received through Gurudev Shri Kaleshwaranand Ji (Kali Baba).
Their work brings the principles of Yoga, Tantra, Tattva Shakti Vigyaan, Swara Yoga and Sadhana into a form the contemporary seeker can understand and approach — without losing connection with the tradition from which they arise.
Through regular Satsangs, online Programs, Retreats at Shri Anand Shakti Ashram, Blogs, Youtube and sustained guidance, they continue to share true wisdom with sincere seekers around the world.
The Lalita Sahasranama takes our understanding deeper still, naming the Mother Divine as गुरुमण्डलरूपिणी (Gurumaṇḍala‑rūpiṇī) — She Herself is the very form of the entire Guru Mandala.
The lineage is therefore not merely something of the past.
It is living knowledge. Living Grace. Living Shakti.
वन्दे गुरोर्मण्डलम् — “I bow down to the entire Guru Mandala.”
