Ramesh Bjonnes is a Tantric scholar and author with a personal practice for over 50 years. He is the co-founder of the Prama Institute and the Director of the Prama Wellness Center. He lived and taught as a yogic monk for some years after studying in Nepal and India. He studied Ayurveda at California College of Ayurveda and is a certified yoga detox therapist from the Ananda Marga Wellness Center in Cebu, Philippines. He is the author of five books, including A Brief History of Yoga (InnerWorld), Sacred Body, Sacred Spirit (InnerWorld) and Tantra: The Yoga of Love and Awakening (Hay House India). He lives with his wife Radhika and Juno, a Great Pyrenees, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

  • · Ramesh Bjonnes presents a non-traditional view of yoga history.
  • · The Two River Theory suggests yoga's roots in both Vedic and Shaiva traditions.
  • · Tantra is often misunderstood in the West, conflated with Neo-Tantra.
  • · Anandamurti's teachings challenge conventional views on yoga and history.
  • · The Pashupati seal may indicate ancient yogic practices.
  • · Mantra plays a crucial role in Tantric practices and spiritual awakening.
  • · Ramesh emphasizes the importance of oral traditions in yoga.
  • · Experiences of clairvoyance can arise from deep meditative states.
  • · Yoga practices are not solely Vedic but include various traditions.
  • · Ramesh's work blends health, yoga, and holistic living.
