The Sustainability Flywheel of the BIG ONE

Tapasyogi Kalathi Adiyen Nandhi is a visionary, a yogi, an artist and a musician. He was born and raised in South India. He completed his Masters degree in London.  In 2002, he moved to the USA after nearly two decades of rigorous yogic training and meditative practice under the guiding influence of several enlightened masters who are from the lineage of the Siddhars. From them, he learned the secret wisdom of an unbroken lineage of several thousand years of tradition. Nandhi was initiated into advanced yogic practices that are seldom known outside the Siddhar initiate’s circle.

The “Siddhars” are realized Sages who are venerated throughout India. The Siddhar teachings are undiluted in their yogic wisdom and free from collective intellectual ego. The Siddhars represent “the India that is not known” and the many of their unique yoga teachings are not in printed matter. The root word “Siddhi” means “Powers of Perfection”.  One who has Siddhi has a mind that enables miracles. A Siddhar is one who has mastered the power of the mind aligned with Source.

Representing the Sages of South India in the ancient wisdom of Oneness, Nandhi was graced with a vision - the Ariven Community. Ariven means “Awakened” and the members of this community are those who have a conscious concern for the world, the environment and all the inhabitants within it.  Ariven Community is a non-profit international community that creates self-sustained global animal sanctuaries based on the principles of Ahimsa (peace, non-killing, non-violence, Oneness) in order to abolish world hunger. The outcome is a giant step for humanity in the collective Oneness of being able to end hunger and at the same time, create a world that has more compassion and a health conscious humanity.
