Sastry Bhamidipati Ph.D, is a research associate of Imperience, Centre for Research and Training in Pranahuti Aided Meditation (PAM).  He has studied and practiced PAM for over 17 years and dealt with various subjects in this field of raja yoga (meditation).  Since 2000, he has been responsible for coordinating the monthly PAM training program in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.  Prior to coming to this practice, he had 12 years of experience in traditional eastern meditation practices.  He received his Ph.D. in Material Science Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and was a faculty member of a university for eight years in India prior to coming to the U.S.  He is currently an adjunct faculty in California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) teaching a graduate research course on Pranahuti Aided Meditation.

She is currently a Ph.D student in the East West Psychology department at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). Her area of research interest is on experiences of non-ordinary states triggered by Pranahuti (yogic transmission), consciousness transformation resulted from such experiences, and the dynamic movement from ordinary states of consciousness to several stages of super-consciousness through the PAM practice.
