Hi,
In case you're wondering why I'm dressed like this, I'm from New Zealand and everyone in New Zealand dresses like this.
Well, not quite... I'm a meditation teacher, a monk of Ananda Marga and a yogi, as well as being a writer and musician.
I've been playing music since I was 6, and now I write, record and perform songs about spiritual experiences and ecological or human rights issues. I derive many of my ideas from myths and legends of different cultures and in performance I blend music, stories, humour, multimedia, and spiritual chanting to try and create an uplifting and enjoyable experience for the audience.
I've recorded three albums of original songs, and produced four others. I've been fortunate enough to play with some marvellous musicians including Paul Winter, Premik Tubbs and Daevid Allen and Harry Williamson from Soft Machine and Gong.
I now live in California.

I was fortunate enough to win honourable mention and runner up awards in the International Song of the Year Awards in 2007.

What People Say about this book:
“Thanks so much for sharing your meditation book with me.
I found myself falling into a deep blissful state after reading it!”
Carol Susan Roth - literary agent
“Dada has a rare quality of conveying some of the world’s deepest truths in simple, clear language. He takes us into the depths of a rich world of deeper spiritual realities, but he always takes us by the hand so we never stray too far from its eloquently simple message; it is this balance that Dada strikes which makes this book a must-read for anyone even remotely interested in the practice of meditation.”
New Renaissance Magazine
“Dada Nabhaniilananda’s voice is that of a wise, courteous and truthful friend. He explains meditation without stripping away its mystery.”
Sparrow – Poet and author of Republican Like me; Yes, You ARE a Revolutionary; America: A Prophecy
