UTTARA KAULA TANTRA

Welcome to the Uttara Kaula, a living tradition of Goddess Tantra rooted in devotion to the Adi Shakti, the primordial source of all power and consciousness. This path honors the Divine Feminine as the living current of wisdom, creativity, and liberation that flows through all existence.

The Uttara Kaula (Northern Family) is a Tantrik tradition transmitted to the West by Sri Gurudev Dadaji Mahendranath. The Uttara Kaula tradition preserves the essence of Shakta Tantra while embracing new forms of practice and understanding. Traditionally, the Uttara Kaula was a Goddess-oriented path devoted to the Great Goddess, especially in her form as Kali, the power of transformation and liberation. The Goddess reveals herself in many forms, including Lalita and others, each expressing a facet of her boundless play and presence.

The Fellowship continues under the guidance of Sri Vilasanath (John Power), who was initiated by Dadaji in the lineage of Pagala Baba of Ranchi, Thakar Kalachand, and Pagal Haranath.

The rites and practices of the Fellowship follow the Path of Expression and Liberation of the Mind through Creative Enjoyment, a meeting of Eastern and Western traditions of tantra and paganism, united in reverence for the sacred within all life and the joyful unfolding of consciousness.
