Shriman Adinarayanan and Matrushree (Ma) Ananthalakshmi (aka Dr. Smrithi Rekha) are the founding Gurus of Anaadi Foundation, a spiritual organisation started in 2015. Since 2021, the dampati have started several IKS based Gurukulas. Shriman Adinarayanan is a Siddhayogi who has spent more than 250 days in mouna tapasya. The dampati belong to the spiritual parampara of Mahavatar Kriya Babaji. After a deep spiritual experience (which he later realised as the experience of Samadhi) during his graduate studies in the US, Siddhayogi Shriman Adinarayanan had a strong desire to return to India to dedicate himself to spirituality and serving the society. Shriman Adinarayanan has an MS in Computer Engineering from North Carolina State University. He is an Adjunct Professor of Practice at IIT Delhi and has been a TedX speaker. Matrushree has a PhD in Management from Amrita University and MS from State University of New York. She has been a visiting faculty to University of L'Aquila, Italy. Since their marriage in 2004, Shriman and Maa have been leading a yogic life of simplicity and purpose. After spending some time in the software industry and with the intention of living a life that can be of benefit to a larger number of people, especially the youth, they moved to academics. Their sadhana and Adinarayanan's mouna tapasya inspired them to make the essence of the spiritual parampara of the country available to everyone. They continue to teach at various institutions including IIT-Delhi. After more than a decade of teaching and research experience, the dampati started Anaadi Foundation for loka sangraha and since then they have been reaching out to children, youth and families through their online and in-person programs on Yoga, Ithihasa-Purana and Vedanta blending unique insights from modern science. Being grihasthas and being able to integrate sadhana into their daily life has inspired a lot of grihasthas who visit the ashram.
