Jivasu (Pradeep Kumar)

Jivasu’s (Pradeep Kumar) teachings are named as Naturality. Naturality is to ‘to live according to our innate nature’. Jivasu is a meditation teacher and a faculty in McMaster University Acupuncture Program in Canada.

Born in 1956, Jivasu completed his medical training as a pediatrician from Lucknow, India. For next 13 years he along with his wife Dr. Karen (whom he considers his teacher) served as voluntary medical doctors, in Sivananda ashram, Rishikesh and later on in the remote villages of Garhwal Himalayas.

While living in Sivananda ashram he experienced his first awakening which came to full fruition twelve years later in the experience of  ‘wholeness’  and ‘freedom from psychological fear of death.’

He conceived Expansiveness meditation (Braham dhyan) and Breath of dissolution (Kalajayi pranayam), two elements of Naturality teachings. He also concluded that all spiritual experiences have a biological basis. When brain, the marvelous instrument of perception is cleaned of memories and emotional scars, will connect to and reflect the universe within and around us.

In order to spread the practice of meditation and teachings of Naturality, Samagra was founded. Samagra in India is involved in the voluntary programs for the well-being of poor women and children in and around the city of Dehradun, Uttarakhand.

He is the author of many books including: Meditation: A Path of Wellness, Authenticity and Freedom, Chakras: Centres of Evolution and Involution, Freedom from Fear and Naturality.
