Jahnavi & Kamala were both born in England and brought up in India, Holland and the USA. They spent a large part of their childhood and teenage years in the Himalayan foothills of Rishikesh, and have lived more than nine years in India. They’ve been influenced by Indian philosophy and culture — and have been practicing meditation, yoga, Ayurveda and Vedic astrology their whole lives. They created Samādhi Collective as an online space and community dedicated to teaching spirituality and self-growth through Sanskrit, mantra, yoga, music, art and more.
