Books on Shri Shri Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj have a continuity dating back to when Shri Swamiji completed his twelve-year tapas. Telugu and English booklets were published during the early years after Shri Swamiji emerged God-realized from twelve years of tapas on August 7, 1961. |

Foreword
to the 1968 English booklet "Constant conflict between the forces of good-evil, the Daivi and Asuri Shaktis is going on in the universe since the beginning of creation. With the progress of Science and preponderance of materialism, humanity and the world is rushing headlong towards destruction and darkness. The greatest need of mankind today is the revival of Spiritualism and Divine guidance." "At all such troublous times, God comes down on earth in different forms as Saints and Avataras to guide humanity on the right path and save the world from destruction. History shows that the life of Saints and Avataras is one of suffering and sacrifice for the good of humanity. The biographical sketch of His Holiness Sri Sri Sri Sivabalayogi Maharaj written by Prof. S. K. Ramachandra Rao, based on information gleaned by him from authentic sources, even though not complete, is a fascinating story of sacrifice, suffering and Divine Initiation, Inspiration and Guidance — the epic story of the great Tapas and Sadhana of a young boy of fourteen for twelve long years against many obstacles and hazards — and the emergence of the young youth as a Siddha Yogi, Sri Sri Sri Sivabalayogi." "He has come with the mission of healing the body and the mind through Dhyan and Trance and guide and spiritually uplift those who come to him with humility and faith. His influence for good has already touched large sections of people and will no doubt go on increasing in ever widening circles with the passage of time." "We deem it a proud privilege and good fortune to have had this opportunity of association with the publication of this book by writing this Foreword."

Shri Shri Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj, Life & Spiritual Ministration was collected and written by General Hanut Singh (ret.) and originally published by the Bangalore Trust on the occasion of Shri Swamiji's 46th birthday on January 24, 1981. This was the book that Shri Swamiji brought with him on his first visit to the United States in 1988 (the cover on the left), and it was reprinted (the cover below on the right) for his 1989-1991 tours in the West. At Shri Swamiji's request, Spiritual Ministrations was combined with Darshan and additional material and was published as Tapas Shakti.
From the
Preface to |
"The life of a
saint is a life essentially of the Spirit; very little of it is discernible
because very little of it flows on the surface. And this life of the Spirit
cannot be generally known because Mahatmas rarely, if ever, talk about it; only
stray glimpses can be caught from the casual utterances of these Divine
Personages. Sri Swamiji, on the other hand, has been much more forthcoming than
most other Mahatmas in giving an account of his personal experience during the
12 long years of Tapas period. Therefore, the chief value of this book lies in
the fact that it contains an authentic and reasonably detailed account of the
Tapas of a great Mahatma. That apart, it contains some valuable practical
guidance for Dhyana Yoga Sadhana, as taught by Sri Swamiji. For both these
reasons, this book should prove interesting and useful reading for all classes
of spiritual aspirants, and more particularly, to devotees of Sri Swamiji."

Darshan
is a collection of notes and transcripts of conversations with Shivabalayogi in
Seattle and Portland from 1988 to 1990. The material was collected and edited by
Tom Palotas and sent to Shri Swamiji in Bangalore who had the manuscript
published in India by the Bangalore Trust for Swamiji's birthday in 1991. He
brought copies with him to the West that year. At Shri Swamiji's request, the material in Darshan was combined with General Hanut's biography (Spiritual Ministrations) and, together with devotees' experiences (mostly from the United States) and additional question-and-answer material collected in 1991, it was published in India by the Bangalore Trust for Swamiji's 57th birthday in 1992 as Tapas Shakti. |
