Sri. Ricardo Bravo
[Chile & Argentina]
In 2023, Ricardo Bravo (Ricardoji), a Latin American Life-Coach, not only undertook to Translate, the entire Amanaska Yoga Online Course into Spanish; he also Introduced, through Amanaska Yoga, the World Teacher, Sri. J. Krishnamurti’s ‘Inward Flowering through self-Knowing’, to a Large Number of Genuine Seekers in Latin America.
Sri. Ricardoji is an inspired and brilliant life-coach, especially in Hindu spiritual disciplines of knowledge from Santiago(Chile) & Buenos Aires (Argentina).
He and Sri. Sankaraji(Dr. Sankara Bhagavadpada) have been collaborating since 2011, in both Vedic Astrology as well as in field of the Inner Life (known variously as Atma Jnana, ‘Tat Tvam Asi’ Meditations and ‘Dharma & Moksha’).
Sri. Ricardoji invited Sri. Sankaraji and Sri. Kannanji(2011-2012) and subsequently, invited Sri. Sankaraji and his wife, Dr. Prema Shanker (2013-2017) to several Latin American countries: Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay. In 2016, Sri. Ricardoji also brought a group of 8 good seekers from Spain and four Latin American countries to an Intl Retreat, held for 7 days, at Le Pondy, in the outskirts of Pondicherry in South India.
From 2011-2017, Sri. Ricardoji and Sri. Sankaraji jointly offered very many Jyotish consultations in Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay. Sri. Ricardoji - who has the gift of spontaneous ‘psychic translation’ from English to Spanish - made Sri. Sankaraji’s work in Amanaska Yoga, as well as in Jyotish, available to a large number of genuine seekers, in these Spanish speaking countries.
Sri. Ricardoji learnt both spiritual disciplines from Sri. Sankaraji very quickly and with ‘missionary zeal’ and like a pioneering teacher, took this work into the Spanish world. They have also jointly offered week-end Retreats in self-Knowing in Santiago, Punta-Del-Este(in Uruguay), Mexico City (Mexico), Brazilia(Brazil), over those years mentioned above. Now, Sri. Ricardoji has introduced the Spanish version of Amanaska Yoga Online Course to excellent seekers who speak for the most part only Spanish. In this way, Sri. Ricardoji has done yeomen service to Sri. Sankaraji’s life-time work and also to Amanaska Yoga, in particular. In his translation work of the Amanaska Yoga Online Course(consisting of 120 Lessons), he is being assisted by two competent assistant translators, Mr. Gabriel Bravo and Ms. Monica Streu.

Sri. Kannan Subramanian
[India]
Sri Sankara Bhagavadpada is grateful to Sri Kannanji, for his selfless, proficient, and committed service to his mission, ever since 1990. Sri Kannanji is an integral part of his Vedic astrological and spiritual work. He has further thanked him in the following words, in the Ack Section of his Book: Sri Ramana Maharshi’s Moksha.
“Where continued dedicated service has been concerned, my whole-souled appreciation goes to Sri Kannanji, who has provided me with dependable, spiritual-secretarial support, and excellent co-operation in patiently typing, reading, and checking several drafts of this work, as well as in the efficient preparation of the Sanskrit glossary. He has managed most affairs of my office in the course of the last nine years, including maintaining my accounts, archives, and files. He thereby made it possible for me to take my mind off these burdens and devote my energies entirely to my astrological study and research. I honestly think it has been my Master’s grace that I have had Sri Kannanji to stand by me these last thirty years when I was working practically only from the seclusion of my home. In 2011 and 2012, Kannanji also travelled with me to Canada and Latin America for furthering my work.”

Sri. Sambasiva Ramanananda
[India]
I am Sambasiva Ramanananda (alias, Balaji Balasubramaniam), a Cosmetic Formulations researcher, consultant and manufacturer, by profession. Indeed, I am also a Vedic astrologer. I have always been a spiritual seeker and interested in the spiritual and mystical lore of ancient India. And have been independently studying many systems of Hindu astrology, over the last 30 years.
The first time when I met Sri. Sankara Bhagavadpada in 1991, he was then, the Paramacharya of Oneness Movement. At that time, he was still immersed in the service to his Guru, Sri Sri Bhagavan. It was only w.e.f. 1999, that he moved out and started building his own approach to the spiritual life. His guidance and the Blessings of Sri Sri Bhagavan (Founder of The Oneness Movement, or the Sri Sri Amma Bhagavan Movement) made a major breakthrough in my life. That Grace uplifted my material sphere of life too, for which I will be grateful for ever.
The Oneness Movement of Sri Sri Bhagavan was based on Bhakti and mystical communion with the Divine.
In 2010 Feb, my association with Sri. Sankara Bhagavadpada entered into a new dimension.
He opened up the channel of Understanding and attention through this straight path of self knowing - Amanaska yoga. He learnt this from the World Teacher, Sri. J. Krishnamurti. He was not a ‘follower’ of the World Teacher; but over the years, he was working out his path, appropriate to him and to other seekers and he called this Amanaska Yoga. Fortunately, my Bhakti was an advantage on this path of Understanding-and not a disadvantage. He made me walk on my own, without dependence on him, in this life long journey into the depths of the Unknowable Divine.
Learning truth from a teacher who had turned his back on success and fame, and who was not at all interested in dominating his students with authority... Is this not the greatest of all blessings for a true serious seeker ?
I had discovered through this process of discovery, that there are many different Paths, all leading to Parabrahma.
My Samkalpa is now to serve mankind by sharing this treasure of self knowing until my last breath.
