Abhinabha Tangerman is a writer, musician and poet from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He owns and runs a cafe in Amsterdam, called Heart-Garden, which he founded in 2020. Before that he worked as a freelance journalist for twelve years, writing for magazines and newspapers in The Netherlands. 
In his poetry Abhinabha focuses on man’s spiritual journey to the Divine with its struggles and glories.  He loves the form of the sonnet with its stringent rhyme scheme, as he feels its limitations help to pressure beauty into being - much like a diamond is born from pressurized coal. Abhinabha has also been teaching meditation for the past twenty years, based on the philosophy of his spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy.
