20,813 views •

Dandapani is a well trained Hindu priest, an entrepreneur, and a former monk. After graduating university with a major in Electrical Engineering, he left everything behind to become a monk under the guidance of one of Hinduism’s famous spiritual leaders of our lifetime, Sivaya Subramuniyaswami.

Dandapani’s Decade in Training
For 10 years he lived a life of personal discipline, training at his guru’s Hindu monastery in Hawaii.

After his vows expired, he chose to journey out into the world, ultimately making New York City his home. His life mission is now to help people live a life of purpose and happiness by empowering them with the tools and teachings that have been used by the Hindu monk for thousands of years.

He works with successful entrepreneurs across the planet and major companies such as Nike, Fortress Investment Group, and Trivigo. He made an appearance on TEDx with over 2.9 million views. Also, both of his GoalCast videos gathered over 75 million views in only five months.

Siva Ashram: A Spiritual Sanctuary

Dandapani and his wife also share a new passion. They now own a 33-acre Hindu sanctuary and a fruitful botanical garden in Costa Rica to further their mission.

Dandapani and Tatiana live in New York City and spend their free time designing and planning Siva Ashram. They both travel to Costa Rica twice a year, alongside a small team of dedicated locals, to plant thousands of plants that will one day make up a beautiful botanical garden.

This garden will also feature local plants, exotic fruits, healing herbs, and an organic garden open to the public.

Manifesting Dreams Together
Neither Tatiana or Dandapani come from a wealthy background.

They both believe that people can manifest big dreams if they practice with a well-disciplined and methodical approach.

They live in a humble apartment in Queens. After their living expenses, they put all of their money towards the creation of Siva Ashram.

Self Realisation and Hindu Priest Lessons
It was an eye-opening experience chatting with Dandapani for the second time. When looking for a purpose in life, or even seeking true joy, his teachings and work are sure to put you on the right path.
