Senior Tantra Yoga Teacher Harry Ambagtsheer:

Harry first met Bhagavan Shanmukha in Sydney, Australia years ago and has learned from him ever since. Harry is former Christian minister with an interest in Christianity. When he first met Bhagavan Shanmukha, he was curious as to what actually Tantra was. Bhagavan Shanmukha explained to him that every valid religion or correctly spiritual science has a higher rationale. This higher rationale can be termed in the English language as the esoteric sciences and in the Sanskrit Language of India as the Tantras. We have the Indic Tantras that are interpretations coming down from the Vedas and Buddhist Tantras which are observed by the Tibetan Buddhists as the esoteric aspect of their science.

The Tantras are like Quantum physics and ordinary religion is like Newtonian physics. Newtonian physics explains the superficial functioning of our ordinary world but Quantum physics offers a higher rationale to explain the dynamics of space as well as the accurate workings of this world. Similarly, the Tantras explain the whole rationale of spiritualism while religion only governs the experience of this life.

Bhagavan Shanmukha further explained that the Testament also contains this esoteric wisdom or knowledge, if one knows how to read it. After a few months of study, Harry realized that Bhagavan Shanmukha was not just being liberal and clumping together the various traditions but was actually able to show exact similarities between the esoteric Christian aspects found in the Testament and those of the Indic Tantras.

Since then, Harry practices Yoga [asanas, pranayama, Kundalini, sexuality etc] and has gained advanced understanding of the Tantric science and esoteric Christianity. Today Harry is one of Shri Kali's senior teachers and practices and teaches in the Sydney area. Harry is skilled not only in asanas, pranayama etc. but also in the esoteric aspects of spiritual sciences. Learning from him, one gains the benefit of well-rounded teachings and an experienced teacher. Harry says his understanding of the esoteric aspect of the Testament has enriched his life and this is what really makes studying Tantra at Shri Kali Ashram so special for him.
