Kristen Hardy is from Canada, and has been doing spiritual practice under the guidance of SSRF since 2009. She holds an honours BA from the University of Guelph, and a yoga teacher certificate from Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram in Kerala, India. Though she tried many different spiritual paths and healing techniques, it was not until she started doing spiritual practice with SSRF that she noticed big and lasting changes in herself. Kristen dedicates all her free time to conducting spiritual meetings and workshops in Canada, the USA and India as well as guiding seekers around the world through SSRF’s social media pages.
Auritra Mallick was born in the USA, and he graduated with a B.S. in bioengineering from Rice University. However, his life was going down the wrong path until he found the SSRF site. He started doing spiritual practice consistently and experienced God giving him a second chance in life. Now he is practising spirituality full-time and resides in the Spiritual Research Centre & Ashram in Goa, India. As his service to God, he organizes international workshops, is responsible for the department of seekers from overseas at the Ashram, and is guiding seekers in their spiritual practice.
