Shajesh, an authentic master of Tantra Vedic
Shajesh was born in Kerala in 1969. He is an authentic master of Tantra Vedic, having received Purna Diksha (the final initiation that allows a student to become a teacher). He belongs to the Aananda Nath lineage, and has been teaching since 2008.
Shajesh is above all a spiritual master: smiling, joyful, approachable and kind, with a real gift for teaching, which many lack…
His teachings are precise, very clear, well referenced and very educational.
Above all, his presence is palpable, full of joy, humility, simplicity and experience.
To go deeper on this path, we offer a 3-year training in Paris starting in January 2027 >>
“The great knowledge of Tantra Yoga has been preserved and passed down from guru to guru, and that is how it reached me!”

Teachers and the idea of sharing
Shajesh: an authentic master of Vedic Tantra Yoga. Shajesh received Purna Diksha from his master, giving him the right to teach. Since 2008 he has taught these precious teachings to Indian and international students, including Tantric Japa Yoga as part of Yoga teacher training programmes. He wishes to share this great knowledge and the sacred rituals with those who want to learn.
Yogi Denis (Denis Billo): organiser of the workshops and retreats. Initiated in the Nath Sampradāya and the Śrī Vidyā, I now follow the Āṇanda Natha lineage with Shajesh, an authentic master whose living teaching extends and deepens everything the path has opened. Some companions on the path and former students may join us.
