Although he recovered considerably, some injuries persisted, requiring costly medications.These experiences shaped his path profoundly, instilling in him a deeper understanding of suffering and resilience.
The Search for Healing and Spiritual Growth
Around the age of 23, Bhairav felt a restless yearning for spiritual growth that his current environment could not satisfy. This restlessness led him to travel extensively—across Canada, through Europe on a bicycle, and eventually overland through Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan, finally reaching India. It was in India that he met his first yoga teacher, a gifted healer. Through a series of meetings, they discovered that Bhairav could heal himself through yoga, allowing him to discontinue the medications that had many adverse side effects.

This realization led him to renounce the idea of a "normal life" and dedicate himself fully to the study and practice of Tantra Kundalini. In 1998, he moved to India, and was driven by a deep desire to study and practice Yoga and Tantra. Under the direct guidance of his first teacher, Bhairav dedicated himself to understanding these ancient traditions' intricacies and profound depths. His initial years in India were marked by intense study and practice, laying a strong foundation for his spiritual path.
