Shivabalayogi Adivarapupeta 1963

The Meaning of Yogi

Shivabalayogi is a yogi, one who has attained Self realization through meditation in samadhi, a state of consciousness in which the mind is still and there is no awareness of body or time.

His Childhood

He was born in the small, south Indian village of Adivarapupeta.  At age fourteen, he experienced samadhi. 

His Tapas

He meditated in samadhi for twelve years.  For the first eight years, he meditated twenty-three hours each day.  At age twenty-six, he completed his tapas (spiritual austerity) on
August 7, 1961.

His Name

He became known as Shivabalayogi, but he simply referred to himself as Swamiji.

His Work

For three decades he traveled tirelessly throughout India and Sri Lanka to allow others to experience his Self realization (darshan), to empower people to practice meditation, to give spiritual experiences (bhava samadhi), and to evoke healing.  Beginning in 1987, he visited numerous cities in England and the United States.  Everywhere he conducted public programs consisting of meditation and spiritual song (bhajans).

He often explained that his mission was to reduce the tensions in the world.

His Mahasamadhi

On March 29, 1994, he dropped his physical form and attained the final samadhi, mahasamadhi.  His body is interred in Adivarapupeta.
