About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Beginning from age 17, Sukaishi David today has a 50+ year history of practicing and teaching deep meditation, organic diet and holistic health lifestyles.
A real life "Indiana Jones," Sukaishi trekked the globe to discover the classic, hidden teachings of OJAYA Deep Armor Meditation.
By 1980, Sukaishi had already learned and practiced a number of techniques for years when he first encountered his teacher, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Delhi, India, from whom he learned many advanced secrets.
Sri Sri advised Sukaishi to "teach meditation to the world" as his life's work.
Sukaishi travelled the world with Sri Sri in the early days of the Art of Living Foundation, which has now grown to be an enormous international organization with millions of followers — one of the largest independent, humanitarian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the world, holding a special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations.
After years of teaching courses on meditation and breath practices, giving dharma talks, volunteer service, book writing, heading the Art of Living Center of Kauai, Hawaii — and appointment by Sri Sri as President of Art of Living USA in the summer of 2000 — Sukaishi founded the not-for-profit OJAYA Dharma Sangha to teach the rare, closely-guarded OJAYA Armor Meditation technique to sincere seekers around the world.
Sukaishi teaches from the Earthborn Rainforest, where the OJAYA Armor technique course is streamed online for all who wish to learn its ancient secrets.
