After following my instruction, he is revealing through this book his experiences received in meditation to the world. Those who read this book should also learn meditation and then spread the practice  among people. By doing this, they will attain peace of mind. This is my advice. With Blessings, Shiva BalaYogi, Bangalore, India 1973.

Shivabalayogi's Philosophy is found in the "Yoga Vasistha." Ram has just returned from an extensive pilgrimage to holy places and has become disillusioned with life and everything that the world has to offer. His father is disturbed by this and asks sage Vasistha to instruct Ram. The soul of Ram instructing through Vasistha is the "Yoga Vasistha," considered to be the finest exposition of Advaita Vedanta, the nondualistic philosophy of the ancient Veda Scriptures.

"Swamiji's philosophy is fully expounded in this scripture." ~ Sri Swamiji

"The Concise Yoga Vasistha," with an excellent introduction and "Vasistha's Yoga" both very fine translations by Swami Venkatesananda, are available from SUNY Press Distributors at orderbook@cupserv.org - www.cupserv.org or 1-800-666-2211.

A modern English version of Complete Yoga Vasistha is available on the link: http://userwebs.theriver.com/innerguide/index.htm. The two download links are listed at the top of the Homepage
