Desikachari Nadadur, aka Desika, was born in 1970 in Southern India in the state of Andhra Pradesh. He graduated with a Bachelor of Technology degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering in 1990 (in India).

In 1991, he moved to the Evergreen State of Washington in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Here he received his MS and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Image Processing and Computer Vision.

He worked in the field of Medical Image Processing for more than 13 years. He is currently employed, as a Senior Staff Scientist, in a biomedical start up company where he works on image processing products for planning, monitoring and reporting of image guided radiological and surgical interventional procedures on cancerous tumors. As a sole scientist and senior developer he works on everything from concept, research, and design through product development. He is well-versed in research as well as full software development cycle.

Throughout his childhood he had a burning desire to hone his Bathroom Singing skills to a professional level. In 2002, he joined Sadhana School of Arts where he is training in the Carnatic (South Indian Classical) vocal music. Though he has a long way to go in this endeavor, he is enjoying the baby steps he is taking.

He believes in the natural healing abilities of and the infinite intelligence residing in the human body. He believes that one size fits all remedies do not work and that each person has to intently listen to the signals that his/her body is sending them in order to take proper course of action to help the body heal. To this end, he has come to realize that a holistic approach that integrates yOga (see sanskrit transliteration scheme) techniques such as Asana (postures), prAnAyAma (control of life-force through breathing), and dhyAna (meditation or prayer) along with a combintation of ancient and modern medical approaches will help heal the body-mind faster and in a safer way. He has been a practitioner of yOga techniques for over 4 years.

Following his inner guidance, he received initiation into Babaji’s Kriya Yoga Levels 1 & 2 offered by Babaji’s Kriya Yoga Order of Acharyas, and Thirumoolar’s Siva Yoga offered online, by Sivakami Om Anandi.

Through his spiritual practices he received (and is still receiving) several insights. He started this website and blog to share his insights.

He considers Kriya Babaji Nagaraj, Siddhar Thirumoolar, Ramana Maharshi, U.G. Krishnamurthi and the Nature to be his guides and aspects of his own inner Self, and he is very grateful for their guidance in his spiritual quest.

He is also a Life/Personal/Spiritual Coach. To see how he approaches this topic see the Home page.

He lives with his wife and son, in the city of Issaquah located in the suburbs of Seattle, Washington, USA.
