Hey! Welcome to

An animist, nondual brew of words, art, food, and sounds cooked up by Shambhavi Sarasvati. We're all kindred here.

Hi, I’m Shambhavi

I teach in the traditions of Trika Shaivism and Dzogchen at a nonprofit called Jaya Kula. You may have read my books or articles or listened to a podcast or three. You can find out more about me here.

K108 is my creative playground. You’ll find a hugely eclectic mix here: the overtly spiritual, politics, art, dance, recipes, poetry, music, science fiction, and random silliness. Why? Because animist, nondual life is about participating and expressing oneself freely. Everything belongs, and that means you, too!

I publish every Saturday

Wake up your weekend! I’m offering essays, poems, playlists, recipes, and links to what I’m reading, seeing, and listening to.

"I feel your heart, compassion, and fire through your words that resonate so deeply. I know this brings risk, and as I benefit from your offerings, I want to support your work. Deep gratitude for you." ~JF
