Edgar, austrian, born 1963, began in the age of 12 naturally with Tantra and Meditation (Yoga Nidra).
In the 80s and 90s he was involved - searching and enjoying – into many different spiritual teachings of the West and the East.
In those years he also moved a lot into traditional Tantra and became student of the american teacher Bodhi Avinasha & Sunyata Saraswati and was initiated in different techniques of tantric kriya yoga, e.g. cobra breath all levels.
That continued and resulted 1998 in dropping his former business-life and he started a spiritual journey to India. In Varanasi ("City of Light") - after intensive training in kundalini-tantra - he was initiated in the order of the nath-yogis by Mahamahopadhyaya Acharya Dr.Vagish Shastri (B.P.T.) and got his yogi-name ‘Devananda Naatha’.
After that he also became OSHO-Sannyasin, too, (as Swami Anand Vartman) - but just for two days: then without intending and forcing he surprisingly disappeared (some call that experience "awakening" or "enlightenment", others "dying while living" or "birth of the real self" - call it as you like...). His "Birth-Helper" appeared just some minutes before in the form of a silent smiling Satto Babasanji.
Edgar wrote - just to integrate the experience and to share it with others - the Book "Enlightenment - the real is Illusion, the Illusion is real" and since then seven more books in german language. As author he uses his traveller-nickname “owk” (one-who-knows).
Since many years he lives on the atlantic island La Gomera, gives regulary Online-Satsangs via webstreams and also Satsangs & Tantra-Retreats on the island. In summertime he is also travelling through europe giving Satsangs, Retreats and sometimes speaking on some spiritual converences.
