Hill, Jai
Jai Hill, born 5th July, 1972. Grew up in the Malvern Hills district, deep in the countryside. Nurtured by a very adventurous and free childhood, climbing trees and building dams and wandering the Malvern hills. This later led to silent wandering in the hills and forests meditating on the source of life.
Around about 1993, after weeks of chanting, Jai was hit by a divine revelation. Eventually he went to India 3 years later and met his guru, Sri Visnu Datta Misra, a disciple of Haidakhan Babaji. Visnu told Jai that he would 'write and publish books' one day.
So far Jai has published in small magazines and journals with about 57 poems on his website: www.poetry poem.com/author3069
Last year, his poem 'Atlas' appeared in two London art exhibitions and a new poem 'Equality and Diversity' is due to be recited at an International student festival in Birmingham on April 5th, 2006. Also last year Jai was filmed for a TV show doing stand up comedy and got down to the last 16 in
a competition of 80 people.
Jai has one young son, but is separated and lives alone in Birmingham by a lake. He lectures in English to people from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Congo and other countries. His little free time is spent with his baby son and writing poetry, doing sacred fires or watching his football team play.
Om Namah Shivay. God bless brother, Jai.
