Babaji Bob Kindler

Bob Kindler began studying yoga and Vedanta in 1970 and was later initiated into the Ramakrishna lineage by Swami Aseshananda, a direct disciple of Sri Sarada Devi, with further training from Swami Nityasvarupananda and Swami Damodarananda of the Ramakrishna Order. In 1980 he founded Jai Ma Music as a vehicle for devotional music rooted in Vedanta, toured for two decades giving concerts, lectures and workshops, and has since authored more than a dozen books on Vedantic philosophy and recorded more than two dozen albums of devotional and instrumental music. He also serves as chief editor of Nectar of Nondual Truth, a journal of universal religious and spiritual philosophical teachings published by SRV Associations.

As spiritual director of the SRV Associations (founded 1993, based in Hawai'i), Kindler leads weekly classes and satsangs, mostly online via Zoom with an in-person option in Portland, Oregon, and leads several retreats annually, including an Annual Divine Mother Retreat each October.
