Book Description
Foreword

From time immemorial India has been leading humanity in the path of Spirituality. Many types of Yoga Sadhanas were practiced here. History shows that many people from all over the world used to come to India, seek the darshan of Siddha Purushas and gain spiritual knowledge. The Vedas, Upanishads, Ashta Dasa Puranas, Tantra Shastras, the Commentaries and the entire ancient literature is written in Sanksrit language. Many intellectuals and spiritual teachers have analysed the practice methods and written commentaries in various Indian languages.

In the same way, the Shaktipat Gurus have written various books in Hindi and other local languages for the benefit of sincere seekers. Sri Sri Sri Yogananda Maharaj, Sri Sri Sri Vishnu Tirtha Maharaj and Sri Sri Sri Shivom Tirtha Maharaj are the most popular in this field. Their books written in Hindi have become very famous in directing the seekers of this path in North India. For the benefit of Telugu readers, in 2008, I got inspired through those books and preachings and wrote a book with basic principles of Siddha Mahayoga. Now, with the publication of Siddha Mahayoga - The Path to Self Realisation in English, I feel extremely happy and grateful to the great masters.
