a little biographical note…

Born in France in 1950, in Orléans in the Loire valley, yves-rakendra was initiated into freemasonry, a philosophical school at the age of 22. Yet, intellectual values and concepts could not replace a lived experience; his heart was still longing for lived truth and Zen paved the way to this experience.
Many awakened ones, Karlfield Graf Dürckheim, Arnaud Desjardin, Ramana Maharshi, Swami Prajnandpad, Noro Sensei and Osho, helped to fill this heart-longing and for the second time in his life, yves-rakendra was initiated into sannyas.
The teachings of Margo Anand and Barry Long (tantra) and Charles Berner (enlightenment intensives) have also played an important part in yves-rakendra's life.
Since 1998 yves-rakendra has lived in Pune, India, in the meditation resort created by Osho. Living in this buddha field day in, day out provides tremendous opportunities to grow and to experience life in a different way.
