Sudarshan Simpson

Minister, Meditation Teacher

A founding member of Ananda, Sudarshan has always been very at home out of doors – hiking, backpacking, and exploring. He has tremendous knowledge about nature, and more importantly, a sensitive attunement and awareness for what is happening around him. He is a gifted storyteller and writer – just the person to hang out with around a campfire, swapping stories.

Sudarshan is also a great lover of meditation, has practiced it devotedly for over 30 years, and has taught hundreds of others to practice it as well. He leads the Meditating in Nature retreat. Sudarshan is married to Savitri, one of The Expanding Light's best-known teachers.
