BABA MUKTANANDA

Swami Muktananda (1908 - 1982), the Siddha Guru, resided for the latter part of his life in Ganeshpuri, India.
His inner blaze electrified a generation of people across the world, and set them on the path to liberation. Muktananda was an unparalled embodiment of his name - The Bliss of Freedom.

Everything Baba did was original. Every look, every gesture. The mirror of his state cast a searchlight on all who opened themselves to him. In Baba, the play of Supreme Consciousness found dynamic expression and made him a Guru of formidable mastery. For that mastery he was and is deeply loved and revered.

Born in India in 1908, Muktananda left home at the age of 15 in search of God. After travelling throughout India as a renunciate for many years, he met his Guru, Bhagawan Nityananda and received spiritual initiation from him.
Following this he did intense spiritual practices for a number of years and attained the highest state of Self-awareness. His spiritual autobiography, "Play of Consciousness" is a record of that journey.

Muktananda had the ability to give people a direct experience of their own inner Truth. He attracted seekers from all parts of the world who were searching for that special, inner experience of the Self. His primary teaching was : "Honour your Self, worship your Self, kneel to your Self, God dwells within you as you"

Today the practices he taught continue to provide the same deep inner connection to those who seek it.
