Author at Sambodha Inc
Aaravindha Himadra is the Founder of Sambodha Inc
Aaravindha Himadra is the founder and leader of Sambodha, a U.S.-based organization that promotes self-knowledge and pursues the elevation of human consciousness on a global scale. 

From his home base in Washington State, where he was born and raised, Himadra maintains an active schedule of teaching, training, speaking, and retreat leadership on both sides of the Atlantic.

Aaravindha Himadra is also an accomplished writer. He is best known in the literary realm as the author of Immortal Self, a narrative account of his own life-altering foray deep into the Himalayan wilderness in 2006. This journey took him to the homeland of the Amartya Masters, a secretive lineage of spiritual mystics whose timeless teachings take on new meaning amid the social and political tumult of our day. Immortal Self has been translated into the German (Das Tal der unsterblichen Meister) and Dutch (De vallei van de onsterfelijke meesters) and is considered a classic spiritual narrative.

Inquisitive by nature, Himadra is trained in psychology, Eastern philosophy, and comparative religion. As leader of Sambodha, Inc., he has done his part to advance public understanding of all three fields. 

Before discovering his calling at Sambodha, Aaravindha Himadra ran two philosophical bookstores: one in the small community where he spent many years as a young man and one in central Seattle. Both outposts included spiritual healing centers and offered philosophical courses to the general public, enabling Himadra to hone his personal spiritual philosophy while advancing the science of meditation and bringing his hopeful message of self -knowledge to a wider audience. Leveraging mutually beneficial partnerships with the members of the region’s vibrant artistic community, Himadra was fortunate to grow his two stores into true centers of enlightenment — setting Himadra on course to discover more about himself, the wider world, and the harmonious currents that define our relations with one another.
