Naren K. Schreiner
Naren serves as an archaka and pujari (ordained Hindu priest) at the Kali Mandir in Laguna Beach, as spiritual director for the Centro Jamadi in Querétaro — home of the first Hanuman Mandir in Mexico — and as spiritual advisor to individuals and families on the path of yoga and dharma. He spent 14 years as a monk of the Self-Realization Fellowship, studying India's spiritual heritage, yoga sadhana, and devotional chanting.
