Christopher Wallis, also known as Hareesh, is a Sanskritist and
scholar-practitioner of Classical Tantra with thirty years of
experience. He was initiated by a traditional Indian guru at the
age of sixteen and received education at yoga āshrams in India
and the West. 


Subsequently, he engaged in fourteen years of formal education in
Sanskrit, South Asian Studies, and classical Indian religions.


Hareesh teaches classical Tantric philosophy and Tantric
practices, meditation, Sanskrit, and mantra-science to an engaged
online community of practitioners. He is the Founder of Tantra
Illuminated Online, an online learning portal where all his
courses and teachings are available. He also offers workshops,
retreats and classes in person in Portugal and around the world.


He combines his practice of more than 25 years with a rigorous
inquiry into the original Sanskrit sources to accurately
translate and bring this ancient nondual wisdom to modern
practitioners. The practices aim to facilitate both spiritual
awakening and enhanced well-being for people in all walks of
life. His community of students frequently praise his deep love
for the tradition and the clarity of thought and
expression. 


His teachers, mentors, and gurus, in chronological order,
include: Gurumayī Chidvilāsānandā (root-guru), Paul Muller-Ortega
(Śaiva Tantra and Classical Yoga); Alexis Sanderson (Śaiva and
Śākta Tantra and Sanskrit); Marshall Rosenberg (Nonviolent
Communication); Somadeva Vasudeva (Śaiva Tantra), Adyashanti
(Meditation), and others who wish to remain anonymous.


 His degrees include a B.A. in Religion and Classics from
the University of Rochester, an M.A. in South Asian Studies from
U.C. Berkeley, an M.Phil. in Classical Indian Religions from
Oxford, and a Ph.D. in Sanskrit from U.C. Berkeley. 


Hareesh is the author of Tantra Illuminated: The Philosophy,
History, and Practice of a Timeless Tradition, the first
comprehensive and accessible introduction to Classical Tantra in
English (also available in Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian), and
of The Recognition Sutras, a translation and commentary on a
1000-year-old masterpiece on experiential recognition of oneself
as a direct expression of universal divine Consciousness. 


His new book Near Enemies of the Truth comes out on November 14
and is available for pre-orders now.
