Biography
In 1998 Michael Perring experienced a spontaneous Kundalini Awakening. Soon afterwards he was spiritually bestowed the name Omdeva, and in acknowledgment of the individual soul (jiva, -ji), is now known as Omdevaji.
Omdevaji’s story is one of life-long Spiritual Illumination, originating with working in the medical profession of Radiography (taking x-rays) and a pure appreciation of physics and energy. With the realisation of there being no coincidence, he landed in the lap of God during a Kundalini Awakening, in 1998. This Awakening provided the deep awareness and understanding that thoughts really do manifest into real life experiences! Following this inexplicable and forever life-changing experience he methodically moved from being an agnostic radiographer to a Sanskrit scholar, Yoga teacher and Tantric Philosopher, dedicating his life to the holy Sanskrit alphabet and the science of Yoga.
During his journey into understanding the universal nature of the true self, he openly acknowledges this path of discovery to be painfully lonely and overwhelming at times with the confronting reality that so much of our current lifestyle is lived contrary to the human framework.
This incredibly bizarre yet overwhelmingly blissful experience had Omdevaji quite suddenly choose to leave everything he knew behind and move to the Tasmania in a quest to understand this phenomenon.
With passion and dedication he now writes and shares his voice of experience on the topic of Kundalini Awakening.
Not since a man named Gopi Krishna has someone autobiographically documented the experience of spiritual illumination, or full kundalini awakening, with such detail and raw honesty.
Whilst Gopi Krishna awakened his Kundalini after 17 years of meditating three hours a day facing a plain wall, Omdevaji led a relatively normal life, working with a high intellect, however also predominantly alone. Unintentionally developing intuitive insight into life, he found himself seeing and focusing on the inherent ‘coincidences’ in his everyday situations, from an objective perspective. It was 1998 in the working class suburb of Kingswood, NSW, he experienced what he came to understand and appreciate as a Kundalini awakening, aka spiritual illumination.
Since the Awakening in 1998 Michael has studied Kundalini, Yoga, Sanskrit, Life, Himself, Psychic Research, Buddhism, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Shamanism of North and South America and Christianity. During extensive research into himself, god, the etheric body, kundalini & the system yoga works on he has established several compendiums to consolidate the sacred knowledge of Kundalini awakenings in everyday life whilst living outside of an ashram, without the direct guidance of a guru.
Having survived two divorces, a broken back, the deaths of both a best man and a close friend, and a near death incident, he continues to write and speak on the topic of kundalini, and focuses on being a good Dad to two children.
