B. Simhananda

B. Simhananda is an award winning author of numerous books on photography and spiritual wisdom, (under various pen names), and has been an experienced speaker on this specialized subject for over 40 years. Photography has been a pleasurable passion for him for nearly as long. Combining both together is to him just short of what he feels as being an experience of pure joy.

Erudite, poet, music enthusiast, author, and art collector, this avid ‘terra’ traveler captures the essence of his many travels through his photography. B. Simhananda, literally means “lion’s roaring”. And so, do his pictures and writings ‘roar out’ their sensitivity, tenderness and spiritual statement to the world. He cherishes people, places and this blessed planet.

His second volume on Gampopa’s famous 12th century Buddhist classical works is oriented to the occidental mind, and his commentaries are refreshing, modern, and sometimes quite humorous. A third and perhaps fourth volume on “Gampopa’s Golden Garland” will soon follow.
