About Rajan

Rajan Shankara left the world at 19 years old to become a monk and study his mind, find out what meaning and purpose was and if meditation could take him to higher states of consciousness. Having lived as a monk for 12 years, he is now back out in society as a world-yogi to teach others how to control their mind, body, and emotions.

Rajan was trained for 7 years in landscaping, construction, electrical, woodwork, office work and vehicle maintenance. He spent another 5 years in the monastery office learning clerical skills, travel management and coordination, team leadership, editing, writing and publishing—and being a part of the Hinduism Today international magazine team of senior monks and managed 16 pages. 

Rajan is currently a meditation guide, self-development mentor, award-winning writer, online coach, fitness and health expert and business owner.
