meditated in the state of enlightenment day and night from age fourteen to twenty-six.
He emerged from his twelve-year meditation a fully Self-realized Yogi.
For the three decades he traveled throughout India, Sri Lanka, the U.K., and the U.S.A. giving healing and teaching meditation.
Swamiji dropped his physical body in 1994. His presence continues to evoke profound spiritual experiences.
His greatest gift is meditation. His only verbal teaching is to encourage us to meditate so we can know the truth directly.
Swamiji was asked,
"What is Swamiji’s teaching?"
He simply said these words,
“Dhyana. Vibhuti. Bhajan. Bhava samadhi.”
[Meditation. Blessed ash. Spiritual song. Divine trance.]
Shivabalayogi chants Om Namah Shivaya
