About Shivarudra Balayogi
- Sri Shivarudra Balayogi Maharaj (born 20 September 1954), born Srinivas (Seenu) Dikshitar in Kolar in the South Indian state of Karnataka, is a self realised Yogi and a direct disciple of Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj.After meeting his Guru at the age of sixteen, Seenu performed 20 years of vigorous service and meditation under Shri Shivabalayogi's guidance at his Dehradun ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas.
- Soon after the death of his Guru in 1994, Srinivas entered a stage known as tapas—intense and unbroken dhyana (meditation) in which the mind is kept in perfect thoughtlessness.
- By performing tapas for around 20 hours a day continuously for five years, he achieved Enlightenment/Self Realization.
- Based in the Dehradun ashram, he now travels to many parts of the world teaching meditation and continuing his Guru's mission.
- He has established numerous meditation groups in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and around India.Hinduism Today has written that, "Thousands have been inspired by his influence" and "When the famous Sri Sri Sri Shivabalayogi Maharaj passed away in 1994, meditators around the world wondered who would take his place." Shivarudra Balayogi is counted as one of the few disciples who completed at least five years of tapas, and is revered by many followers as the successor of his Guru's legacy.
- In his book on Indian spirituality, renowned Vedanta scholar Adwaita P.
- Ganguly writes, "Baba Shivarudra Balayogi is the embodiment of gentleness, compassion and service to humanity.
- He is also resolute and immovable as Silence itself".
