Shivabalayogi
Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj (24 January 1935 – 28 March 1994) is a self-realized master of meditation in the tradition of the ancient and modern yogis of India. He attained Self-realization through twelve years of arduous tapas, meditating in samādhi (state of total thoughtlessness) for an average of twenty hours a day. Tapas is the most advanced stage of meditation in which one remains absorbed for long periods in the non-dualistic state of consciousness known as samādhi.〔Lt. Gen. Hanut Singh, ''Shri Shri Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj: Life & Spiritual Ministration,'' pp. 180.〕
After he completed tapas, he assumed the name Shivabalayogi, which some devotees had already begun to use for him. The name means "Yogi devoted to Shiva and Parvati." Shiva is God in the form of a yogi. Bala is one of the many names for Parvati, God in the form of a yogini. The name reflects that Shivabalayogi is a manifestation of both the male and female aspects of the divine (Ardhanarishwara).〔Thomas L. Palotas, ''Divine Play, the Silent Teaching of Shivabalayogi'' p. 196. (Life of Shivabalayogi Maharaj )〕 The female aspect represents the invisible energy of the Divine through which the entire creation operates, while the male aspect represents the pure consciousness of existence beyond all imaginations.〔See for example the definitions (here ) and (here )〕 Generally, devotees called him simply "Swamiji" meaning "respected Master".
For three decades he traveled extensively in India and Sri Lanka, initiating over ten million people into dhyana meditation. From 1987 to 1991, he traveled in England and the United States.〔Thomas L. Palotas, Tapas Shakti'' pp. 187-188. Thomas L. Palotas, ''Divine Play, the Silent Teaching of Shivabalayogi'' pp. 189-190. (Shivabalayogi in the West ), and Bruce Young, "Guru-Disciple," pp. 204-206.〕 Shivabalayogi's teaching is consistent with the Vedanta, emphasizing the need for sadhana (spiritual practice) to achieve Self-realization.〔e.g. Lt. Gen. Hanut Singh, ''Shri Shri Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj: Life & Spiritual Ministration,'' pp. 98-105.〕
==Childhood==
Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj was born Sathyaraju Allaka on January 24, 1935, in the small village of Adivarapupeta in the rice paddy country of the Godavari River delta in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India.〔Lt. Gen. Hanut Singh, ''Shri Shri Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj: Life & Spiritual Ministration,'' pp. 2-3. Thomas L.Palotas, ''Divine Play'' p. 19〕 Most of the villagers earned a simple living making cotton sarees and ''dhoties'' (man’s wraps) on handlooms.〔(Adivarapupeta and Shivabalayogi Maharaj )〕 Sathyaraju’s father, Bheemanna, was a weaver with very little means and died before Sathyaraju was three.〔Lt. Gen. Hanut Singh, ''Shri Shri Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj: Life & Spiritual Ministration,'' pp. 3.〕 The young boy was raised by his mother, Parvatamma, and maternal grandfather, Goli Satham. They were among the poorest in the village.〔Thomas L. Palotas, ''Divine Play,'' pp. 19-20. Bruce Young, "Guru-Disciple," pp. 27-28.〕 Sathyaraju was by nature extremely determined and honest; he found untruthfulness and injustice particularly difficult to tolerate.〔Lt. Gen. Hanut Singh, ''Shri Shri Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj: Life & Spiritual Ministration,'' pp. 8-14. Details of Shivabalayogi's childhood, including stories that he told devotees and eyewitness accounts, can be found at Thomas L. Palotas, ''Swamiji's Treasure'' pp. 25-36.〕
