His Presence Today

The Flame Still Burns

“When Swamiji is not in his body he is so much more available to you.”

Mahasamadhi, 1994

Not a departure

Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj declined to name a successor. Since he entered mahasamadhi, his followers describe his spiritual presence as continuing — not gone, only without physical form.

“If he is in samadhi,” he said, “he is very easily available.” His work goes on: reducing the tensions of the world and awakening spiritual consciousness.

The Reach of His Blessing

Tens of thousands

Devotees blessed directly by Swamiji across India, Sri Lanka, England and the United States.

Over ten million

Given the dhyana initiation and sent home to practise.

Everywhere still

Wherever meditation is practised in his name, devotees continue to feel his living presence.

Spiritual leaders, not yogis, talk in terms of successors.
— Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj

Sit with his presence

Visit an ashram or samadhi shrine, or begin the practice he gave.
