Shivabalayogi his Mission

Shivabalayogi attained Self realization through twelve years of meditation in samadhi (enlightenment). For three decades he traveled throughout India, then 1988-1991 in the West, making the powers inherent in God realization available to awaken spiritual awareness in others. His verbal teaching is to encourage us to meditate so we can know the truth for ourselves.
This introduction explains some of the ways he gives blessings and spiritual experiences: darshan (his presence), vibhuti (blessed ash), initiation into meditation, bhajans (spiritual song), bhava samadhi (divine trance) and prashad (blessed food).

The living yogi and the photos and accounts of his life have made me realize how lucky we are to have contact with swamaji even though he entered mahasamadhi. I hope more people will learn of him and realize themselves and unite thier belifes.

Swamiji is in North America NOW thru JULY!
come have darshan of this great yogi!!! the same as in all these videos.

In Swamiji's case, it's a gift without any obligation on the recipient. It's the passing of power, a physical connection with one who is Self realized -- a link to our own true Self.
It's a connection with the Self that, for example, allows us to concentrate better for meditation.
It's important to know that the Self never forces anything we do not want.

Swamiji sometimes used Sage Vasishta as an example of a yogi who accepted lavish treatment from devotees in order to let the devotees be pleased, but didn't let it get to him. Vasishta was the king's guru. When the king called for Vasishta, the sage was showered with finery and accompanied by a royal parade to the palace. Once the visit was done, and Vasishta was similarly returned to his forest hermitage, the yogi put his simple clothes back on and returned to ashram life.

Dear hedstrng69:
Your view -- that we should not deify humans -- is fair and a healthy attitude. A risk with deifying people is that we give away our own power and responsibility for ourselves.
Swamiji himself insisted that he was not God only an agent of God.
In my own opinion, any kind of characterization of a yogi is limited. If you read about yogis, including Shivabalayogi, you get a sense that ordinary reality is a little distorted around them. It's unfathomable.

OM Namah: Shivaya!

[@tpalotas]

Thanks, "Templedog 1".
There are more and longer Shivabalayogi programs posted on Google, and of course, full DVD programs at the Handloom website. Shivabalayogi is an unusual yogi in many ways: the intensity of his 12-year tapas; his extensive travels; his liberal gifts of initiation and bhava; and the public documentation (written, photo & video) of his life.

You are right. We (at least I) cannot explain the Kalki Avatar reference. Shivabalayogi privately was quite critical of Sathay Sai Baba's behavior. One can be a yogi or an avatar and still have ego. When there is no ego, no identification whatsoever with the appearance of form, one is pure consciousness. That's God.

It's a quote from the ancient Nadis. While on a level beyond the mind's comprehension, there is no time and space, most of us understand watches and maps.

How can I get some Sacred Ash I requested twice and was told that it would be sent to me. I checked mail everyday but it didn't come. I would love to have some so that I can overcome this terrible heartbreak and help others more and resolve and transform it. Warm Wishes to All

An introduction to the way.

[@joshrain1]

what is initiation?

[@thulasip1679]

the action of admitting someone into a secret or obscure society or group, typically with a ritual. Orthe action of beginning something.

[@rrMuraliRamsamy]

right..but many are revered as Godly..thats the difference..yes, i too was quite disturbed with the turmeric jal aka water.. Saints i have come across revealed that they actually do not want anything..it is the behaviour of the society..which the saints uniformly say 'it is better to leave them as themselves than trying to change anything or anybody..' this does not and should not mean 'we can continue to behave unconditioned' lets grow up and behave..or in other words try to BE Godly ourselves

[@jayasenan]

there is no ending and beginning, so it iss erroneous to sat 'till the end of the age'

[@tpalotas]

Certainly not by the mind.
