Clayton “Shree Hari” Barker does NOT want to write an Autobiography, but Shree Maa told Him to do it, to help many people. So here is a small autobiography to be obedient to Her guidance. Shree Hari is an Eternal Soul. He knows this from watching the death of bodies He was in, in previous lifetimes and being clear what He prayed for, at the time of death. His body’s Ethnic Roots are from East Africa, Bab El Mandeb, Turkey, Siberia, Dagestan, Polynesia, South Central Asia, Portugal, Ireland, Scotland, Finland, Switzerland, Germany, and England. He is adopted into the Maidu, Pit River, Wintu, Nisenan, & Konkowi Native American Tribes. He is a No Body Temple Janitor, Spiritual Interfaith Harmony Priest, Social Justice Warrior, Spiritual Businessman, and Integrated Holistic Communication Coach since 2007. Shree Hari has had enormous success on many fronts and has helped protect, sustain, and organize over 48 Spiritual Communities, Churches, and Temples on several continents across spiritual traditions since 2003 and lived as a very austere single ascetic monk from 2010-2022, learning to fast for longer periods, serve all night long, meditate in 1 asana for 1 to 12 hours a day, meditate inside cremation pits, and serve meditation programs across North America, India, Maui, and Japan with pilgrimages to Switzerland, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. When Shree Hari was 21 to 24 years old, he helped finish the building of the biggest Tantric Tibetan Temple in the Americas at the Great Stupa of Dharmakaya in Northern Colorad at Red Feather Lakes at the Drala Mountain Center. He was a knife worker, prepared the salad bar, and fed the artists and volunteers and up to 800 participants per meal. He also was a handyman on the land, gardener, and helped setup and take down retreat tents.

He was initiated by a Tibetan Avadhuta Yogi, Rinchen Gelek, at age 10 in the Bay Area and began performing meditation, Buddha abishekam, arati, and puja to Lord Buddha when he was a small boy, teaching himself how to meditate quietly in his own boyhood room in CA. He has trained in person with many Saints including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Mingyur Rinpoche, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Khandro Rinpoche, Arvol Looking Horse, Grand Paa Wind Walker Blue Skin, Uncle Art Garcia, Weyakpa Najin Win, Lyla June, Dr. Larry Emerson, Bo Lozoff, Fleet Maul, Amma the Hugging Saint, Shree Maa, Swami Adaityananda Saraswati, Swami Satyananda Saraswati, Ram Das, Bhagavan Das, Swami Dayamritananda Puri, Swami Shantamritananda Puri, Miles McPherson, Radhanath Swami, Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri, Swami Ramakrishnananda Puri, Surfer Swami Shridhar, Swamini Janani, and Swami Tulsi Das.

Shree Hari attained Asana Siddhi in Santa Rosa, California in 2019 where he went into Bhav Samadhi and Savikalpa Samadhi by chanting all of the mantras that Neem Karoli Baba, Amma, and Shree Maa gave him in pujas, pathas, namavalis, Hanuman Chalisa, and bhajans. Shree Hari has had visions of Kali, Guru Gobind Singh, and Guru Nanak in Temples in India and California since 2007. Shree Hari practiced a vow of silence on Thursdays for 6 years and he has attained to Asana Siddhi at the beginning of monkhood, when he chanted the Hanuman Chalisa for 12 hours straight in 1 padmasan in Hanuman Temple in Taos, New Mexico in 2012. To develop humility and celibacy, when Shree Hari was a monk he slept only on a mat on the floor for 11 years and has performed 17-day fast hunger strikes for social justice to protect Native American children from pedophilia in the US Government. He has performed 4-day vision quest with no food and water in 2009. Shree Hari has practiced 1 day, 3 day, 6 day, 9 day, and 17 day fasts and he is a rookie compared to his friends Shree Maa who fasted on fruit juice for 8 years, and Swami Satyananda Saraswati who can perform 40 day water fasts, and his Grand Paa Wind Walker Blue Skin who can fast for 20 days with no food and water, by keeping a river pebble in his mouth and his prayer strong.

Due to intense austerities, 20+ years of Karma Yoga Seva, and attainments in previous lifetimes, Shree Hari has the ability to remember his own and other’s past lives, through certain austere spiritual practices. He has since trained with countless Saints and Spiritual Masters since 2003 and was given the initiation of Avadhuta in 2017 from Shree Maa of Kamakhya, his Spiritual Mother whom he plays out a hilarious, adventurous, eccentric Lila with. Amma initiated Shree Hari into the Nath Sampradaya in 2012 at Mata Amritanandamayi Temple in San Ramon, California and Shree Maa initiated him into the Saraswati Sampradaya in 2018 in Yuba City, California at Lalita Chandika Mandir. He has served over 11 homeless feeding projects, planted trees around USA/India/Maui, helped start and maintain over 25 vegetable gardens, 8 hospitals, and is working towards projects to rebuild slums. Since 2007 he has helped hundreds and hundreds of people overcome addiction to alcohol and drugs and find the path of emotional sobriety. He was a Teacher of Amma’s Integrated Amrita Meditation in jails and Elder communities while he was a monk and once taught a 12 week course in Santa Fe Youth Jail in 2012.

Before his current focus on Spiritual Warfare to Slay Demons within the Hindu Religion Caste System of America, Shree Hari has been enormously successful and has been invited to share his experience of Nonviolent Communication, Empathy, Yoga, Circle work, Racial Justice, Environmental Justice, world prayer music, & meditation, on 4 Continents with over 150+ organizations, many schools, 9 jails/prisons, & 1000s of people since 2007. Shree Hari was struck by lightning around 2002 in Boulder, Colorado so he carries a high intensity of capacity for Divine Light to come through him in a way that can be like a thunderous boom to shake up stuck concepts and fixed ideas often using backwards comedic satires and super unconventional eccentricity going against the grain of social norms and colonial rules that do not liberate soul freedom. Shree Hari will intentionally act hypocritical to paradoxically transform the hypocrisy in those around him, while also calling himself out on his consciously manipulative bull shit. Bull shit is an excellent compost for trees & veggies. Shree Hari has survived having suicidal thoughts from 2007-2026 and knows what it takes to persist to stay alive even when dancing between extremes of bliss and depression on the middle path.

He has studied mixed martial arts, security, war, spiritual battle, empathy, peacemaking, dialogue, & nonviolence and is paradoxically adept in both fighting demons and ceasing fighting anyone and anything. He grew up around the realities of military family, gang affiliations, frat boys, and drug dealers. He has practiced NVC during 3 incarcerations for both nonviolent & militant social justice activism for Indigenous Rights & ending structural racism. This Divine Play is based on Shree Hari’s learning with Spiritual Teachers, Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, & 40 Trainers from www.cnvc.org since 1994 & he graduated from the 2010 BayNVC Leadership Program & University of Colorado at Boulder in 2006. Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, Shree Hari’s Divine Play, is where bold out of the box thinking meets powerful heart centered action. Let’s consciously co-create something meaningful together & connect in the present moment of timeless nowness.
