My name is Jayarava which means "Shout or Cry of Victory" in Sanskrit. I have written a more full explanantion in the "Jayarava Sūtra".I am a member of the Western Buddhist Order and have been involved in the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) for many years.

Jayarava.org is a more or less static place for me to store and display examples of my work in various mediums. It doesn't get updated very often, but it provides a backdrop to my other activity on the internet. This website is where you will find examples of my Art, Writing and Music. I've also included some thoughts about Buddhism.
Jayaravosphere
Formerly I was a lot more active on the internet but these days my efforts are concentrated on two sites.
- Jayarava Rave - reflections, commentary, opinion from a non-sectarian Western Buddhist point of view. There is an addition index of Jayarava Rave articles on my writing page.
- Visible Mantra - a resource for writing and visualising mantras and seed syllables.
I have a bunch of other websites including old blogs, and social networking sites...
- Bricolage - my original blog, no longer updated except on random occasions
- JayaravaSpace
- Jayarava's Flickr Pics
- Jayarava on Facebook
I've created some profiles in other places relating to blogging etc.
I started some FWBO related sites
- FWBO News and the original (Blogger) site FWBO News Archive
- FWBO People - a directory site for websites of individuals connected with the FWBO.
- Important Dates in the FWBO calendar
- FWBO Maps - Platial.com. The initial enthusiasm has worn off but here are most of the FWBO centres in the world
