His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda is a Himalayan siddha monk, who hails from unbroken lineages of the combined heritage of rishi sages and nath meditation adepts. He has directly learnt the Himalayan Kriyayoga meditation system from Tryambaknāth, (popularly known as Mahavatar Babaji).

His Holiness is developing Hansavedas Sambhala (online coursework) based on the teachings from Jñanā-gañja, a siddha enclave commonly known as Sambhala located in Tibet, east of Limpiadhura Pass bordering India.

He is among the very few adepts outside of India who has been awarded the degree of DLitt et Phil (Mahāmahopādhyāya) by the erstwhile President of the Association of Indian Universities and by the Sanskrit scholars of Calcutta, India. The degree was conferred in recognition of his meditative interpretation, scholarly analysis, and ability to articulate the philosophical nuances of Sanskrit literature.

Attending a fellowship with a traditional monk and a living saint may be a new experience for many. Below are a few helpful guidelines about what to expect.

• Doors open at 9:30am so you can check-in, use the restroom and get seated before the MC (emcee) begins.
• Maintain reverential silence whenever possible to foster a quiet environment. If speaking is needed, speak quietly.
• Kindly wear modest attire (avoid tank tops and shorts) befitting the meditative ambience.
• You will be asked to check in at the registration table before entering. Kindly be patient and unrushed.
• Please silence cell phones during the Fellowship.
• Lunch will be served upon conclusion of the discourse.
• You may greet and receive blessings from His Holiness at the end of the fellowship during the blessing line, but more involved spiritual questions should be sent by email to quest@hansavedas.org.

Donations to the Nonprofit, Self Enquiry Life Fellowship, are much appreciated and help to cover the costs of hosting. You may donate at the time of registration or via Zelle or Paypal to quest@hansavedas.org. There will also be options for making a donation (or love offering) via cash, check or credit card at the event. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

There is free parking available at the Joan-Pisani Community Center parking lot.

Sitting in fellowship with a monk is a quiet, contemplative experience. This can be challenging for young children. Please thoughtfully consider if your child will be comfortable sitting for 2+ hours in silence. Typically this can be challenging for children under the age of 15. Call or text the Nonprofit at 909-543-6003 if you have questions about your child attending.

We are committed to the health and wellness of the community and as such we are sharing some gentle guidelines and precautions to ensure that all feel comfortable in the fellowship space.

• If you are feeling unwell, please refrain from attending. This includes feeling fatigue or having a runny nose, coughing, sore throat, fever or flu symptoms.
• Follow basic infection prevention and control practices by regularly washing hands with soap and water or with an essential oil, and by covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your inner elbow.
• We will keep windows/doors ajar while meeting indoors, to the extent possible.
