Teacher

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. In 2012 he founded Sangita Yoga, teaching sacred music across the US and México (he is fluent in Spanish), before founding Avahana — meaning "invocation" in Sanskrit — as his primary spiritual service.
