About Me:

My name is a combination of three words: Prana means vitality, pronounced praana. "A" is pronounced like the "a" in father. Krsna means the devotional nucleus of the universe. "R" is like a vowel and a bit like the Irish say it. And Ananda means joy or perpetual happiness.
So I am he who gets his joy and inspiration from the devotional nucleus of the universe.
I am originally from USA. I left there in 1970 and haven't been back since.
I lived in India and Southeast Asia for 23 years. I went to Europe in 1993. I lived in Italy for 6 years and travelled to Poland, Holland, Germany, Scandinavia, Switzerland and New Zealand. Now I am living in Australia.
I have been teaching meditation since December 1971. In Southeast Asia people have greater difficulties with physical disease and natural calamities so I was involved in doing many types of physical service as well as holding workshops and seminars on meditation.
I was also involved in projects that were aimed at raising social consciousness and thinking about spirituality as a base for social change.
However in Europe I was more involved in doing workshops and seminars to help people resolve their emotional difficulties, difficult experiences and personal issues.
I am doing the same type of workshops and seminars around the world.
