His Holiness Sri Shivarudra Balayogi, also affectionately known as Baba Maharaj, is a Self-realized Yogi – one who has completed the path of Yoga and attained union with the Divine Consciousness.

A devoted, direct disciple of Sri Sri Sri Shivabalayogi Maharaj, He entered His Guru's service at the age of 19 and was later initiated into Sanyas – a monastic life of pure devotion and service to God and Guru. He was placed in charge of the Dehra Dun ashram of the Sri Sri Sri Shivabalayogi Maharaj Charitable Trust and attended to the ashram inhabitants, visitors and His Guru's mission, thus engaged for 20 years in selfless service and devotion to His Guru coupled with deep spiritual practice.

Following the Mahasamadhi (the passing from this world's physical form) of His beloved Guru in 1994, Sri Shivarudra Balayogi was initiated through a divine vision into the spiritual practice of Tapas which involved engaging in deep meditation for an average of 20 hours a day continually for the next 5years. The culmination of this was the attainment of the goal of all spirituality – Self-Realization, the permanent union of the mind with the Supreme Peace of Infinite Pure Consciousness.


He now travels the world carrying on His Guru's mission of teaching Dhyana meditation, true devotion and selfless service.

Baba Maharaj is the embodiment of gentleness and compassion. His life itself is His teaching – devotion to God and Guru, selfless service to humanity and unrelenting effort in striving for spiritual perfection.

Offering initiation into the technique of Dhyana meditation freely to any who desires it without obligation, He engages His audiences world-wide with His profound spiritual insight drawn from deep personal experience rather than scriptural study. This is coupled with a charming personality, a delightful sense of humour and a unique ability to present the deepest spiritual Truth in a simple but complete manner.

His teachings are simple, but profound:
