Chris Shankar Hargrove

Chris ‘Shankar’ ’Hargrove came into the creation with a desire to know God. His early yearnings were fed by his connection with nature and his mother’s extensive library of texts from many spiritual traditions.

In 2003 Shankar found his spiritual home at the feet of his master, Sri Kaleshwar. Since then he has made 15 trips to India for programs and power journeys to sacred sites.

Shankar has trained extensively in the Ancient Palm Leaf Knowledge and in 2007 was certified by Sri Kaleshwar as a teacher and Sai Shakti healer. Like all Sai Shakti healers he works through the five elements, but especially through the fire element. An experienced pujari, he has led over 350 fire ceremonies.

Following Sri Kaleshwar’s samadhi, Shankar has continued his studies under the direct guidance of Mataji and Nityanandaji at the Divine Mother Center in Laytonville, California.

Shankar’s professional career reflects the commitment he made to his master to take care of the suffering of others. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and has worked in the field of social service and behavioral science for 24 years.
