Awaken in the Presence of a True Spiritual Master: Yogiraj Siddhanath
And then by the practice of #Kriya_Yoga, it may #ascend.
The presence of a true master holds the power to ignite the dormant spiritual energy within us known as kundalini. This potent energy, often symbolized as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine, lies latent in most individuals. However, the presence of a realized master like Yogiraj Siddhanath can act as a catalyst, awakening this profound force and setting it on a path of ascension through the chakras.
Yogiraj Siddhanath, a revered Kriya Yoga master, embodies this rare ability to awaken kundalini. His mere presence emanates a transformative energy that can activate the kundalini within his disciples. This awakening is not merely a symbolic or metaphorical event but a tangible, often life-altering experience. Those who have had the privilege of being in Yogiraj Siddhanath’s presence often describe a profound shift in their energy, consciousness, and overall spiritual awareness.
Once awakened, the journey of kundalini is guided through the disciplined practice of Kriya Yoga. This ancient and sacred practice involves a series of techniques designed to purify the body and mind, facilitating the smooth ascension of kundalini through the energy centers or chakras. Kriya Yoga, as taught by Yogiraj Siddhanath, offers a structured and safe approach to this powerful process. It harmonizes breath control, meditation, and specific postures to create a conducive environment for spiritual growth.
The ascension of kundalini through the chakras brings about profound transformations. It purifies the nadis (energy channels), balances the chakras, and expands consciousness, leading to higher states of awareness and ultimately, self-realization. Practitioners often report enhanced mental clarity, emotional stability, and a deep sense of inner peace. The ultimate goal is to achieve a state of union with the divine, realizing the interconnectedness of all life.
Yogiraj Siddhanath’s role as a true master goes beyond merely teaching techniques; he provides the spiritual transmission that awakens and guides the kundalini. His teachings and presence offer a unique and precious opportunity for sincere seekers to embark on this transformative journey. Through the combined power of Yogiraj’s presence and the disciplined practice of Kriya Yoga, the path to spiritual enlightenment and the ascension of kundalini becomes a tangible reality.

Progress into the inner recesses of the brain
The journey of our soul can be summed up as the cycle of the involution of Consciousness through mind into matter and then its subsequent evolution from matter into mind and Consciousness.
The human soul, in order to complete its cycle of evolution first descends and gets engrossed in the various sheaths of the body, the mental sheath, the emotional sheath, the etheric sheath and finally in the womb the material sheath of flesh and bones. Forgetting its true nature, it gets more and more restricted as in relative sequence by various permutations and combinations of molecules it becomes more and more dense. In this descending arc of involution called the Pravritti Marg, the soul sinks more and more into the material world, garnering the experiences of joy and sorrow, right and wrong, bad and good, garnering experiences in the world of relativity in the material world.
After being buffeted by raag (attractions) and dvesh (repulsions), the joys and miseries of the material world and satisfying the lust for life, the inner-spirit of the soul-swan pushes it towards its own evolution, the Nivritti Marg, the inward path of return. This is the evolutionary path of renunciation and detachment from all worldly pleasures of samsara. Here the soul consciousness begins to withdraw itself from the grosser sheath of matter to the subtler spheres of the mind. Moving to complete its cycle of evolution it ascends, and becomes more and more transparent by yogic and spiritual practices, the flame of its soul expresses more and more of its innate spiritual radiance. The jeevhamsa begins its inner yogic ascent through ever more refined and ever more expanded spheres of consciousness to get to the god-essence, the divine in-dweller that lies at the core of its own Being.
The evolution of the human consciousness is the most comprehensive enterprise ever undertaken by the Yogis, compared to which the greatest of human achievements pale into insignificance. A journey inwards unsurpassed by any journey into outer space. In the human brain exist the lateral ventricles in the shape of a swan poised in flight, with its wings thrust forward and its head pointing to the back. When a Hamsa Yogi, through yogic meditation and pranayama, activates the kundalini energy, these ventricles in the brain open up. The two petals in the agnya chakra corresponding to the pituitary gland open first. The yogi at this stage experiences hamsa consciousness of being breathed by the Divine in-dweller, the universal prana.
As the yogi further continues and progresses in the hamsa meditation, the third eye opens up in the agnya chakra and the yogi goes into the ecstasy of sarvikalpa consciousness. Then penetrating the star in the third eye the hamsayogi expands into the state of nirvikalpa consciousness, dwelling in the cave of Brahma, the brain’s third ventricle. The evolution of the human consciousness does not stop there. The awareness of the yogi evolves further beyond the I-ness of humanity to settle in the spaces of the lateral swan-like ventricles of the brain. Then in a final push the mighty hamsa, the soul wins its wings to final freedom and liberation. The corona radiata of the brain light up with divine effulgence and the yogi takes flight into cosmic consciousness. Experiencing the total divinity of and beyond creation, gaining the ultimate knowledge of Tat Tvam Asi, the yogi merges into Niranjan Nirvan, the final nirvana of the Kaivalya Samadhi. Having attained the enlightenment of the Buddha and the Christ such beings come back to this world only as an Avatar.
This is where we are going, in spite of ourselves. Because the whole warp and weft of the cosmic flow, the galactic swirl, the universal swirl is towards Divinity. And because the whole swirl and sway and swing and rhythm and music of the universe is towards Divinity, we cannot help but flow in that direction.
Within each one of us is this mystic, inconceivable, indescribable silence and love, and the urge to return to this natural state, the Sahaj Samadhi.
“Beyond the gates of death I glide – untied
Into regions sublime – surpassing causation, space and time.
Here Eternal bliss is King by name of Sat Chit Anand,
Whose life is loving Brahmananda.”

Mount Shasta is the retreat to go to.
Mount Shasta is in Northern California, almost at the Oregon border. I got a bit dizzy while at a rest stop looking at a state map on my first trip there from Southern California. That’s how far North we are!? Nevertheless, a three-day weekend retreat with Himalayan Master Yogiraj at this mountain is a must. He often refers to it as the American Mount Kailash, which is perhaps the holiest mountain in the Himalayas. It is interesting to note that the native Americans refer to Shasta as Adi-Nar, which is very similar to one of the Sanskrit names for Lord Shiva: Adi-Nath.
The retreat is a weekend of freeing our minds. The mind, the root source of all disease, loses its iron grip. Healing and sweet, deep consciousness fill the void. That is the essence of any time spent with Yogiraj.
After years of retreats, I easily fall into the rhythm. During the satsang question-and-answer sessions, his answers are sometimes heavy with authority. The next moment they are playful and teasing; spontaneous discourses into the ancient lore of India, yogic healing transmissions, chanting and community.
When Yogiraj entered the meditation hall at the start of last year’s retreat, my mood somehow lightened, erasing my two-day journey North. There were about twenty new people sitting up front and he wanted to make sure they felt comfortable and accepted. Old timers, such as myself, left unchecked can hog the question-and-answer sessions. Yogiraj caught us in the act and gave special attention to the newbies.
Saturday’s big event was the outdoor meditation on Mt. Shasta at an open field called “Sand Flat”. Yogiraj came and then we spread out across the whole field and forest for meditation. He took us with him as he sat in meditation, going into deeper levels of consciousness. The Guru is like a benevolent black hole, sucking all negativity into its void.
The bees and flies were buzzing and the late morning sun beat down. Nevertheless, we remained in meditation, or something that at least looked like it. Afterwards Yogiraj called us together and told us that he had taken us into Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the deepest layer of mindlessness.
Before breaking up, Yogiraj suggested eating something sweet and something a little spicy with lunch: “With the sweet and spicy the healing will take place.” As we laughed, he laughed about what an easy Guru he is. I recall years ago that he said, “One must only look for the most spoiled disciples and know that they are mine.”
Did I mention that Mount Shasta is the retreat to go to?
You can join Yogiraj and our spiritual family this summer at Mount Shasta. Learn more at our U.S. Events Page.

McCloud Middle Falls Near Mt Shasta. When we are in nature, standing face to face, it is we who blink first. Nature holds her gaze. The energy is too strong for most people- we quickly fall into fiddling with cell phones, talking loudly or drinking beer and building big fires and making lots of noise around them. We just don’t know what to do with ourselves. Kriya pranayam and Surya meditation give us a way to connect with nature, something to do there. This is an ancient lifestyle and it is only the beginning for young America.
The Mc CLoud river becomes Middle Falls as it works its way through the forest below Mt Shasta. Yogiraj often discusses the coming spiritual civilization that is right now developing on the West Cost of America. He has said that right now there are more practicing yogis on the west coast of America than in India.
He teaches that water, especially flowing water greatly benefits meditation. The Himalayan pilgrimage group makes sure to stop at a mountain waterfall on the journey. Both the Haridwar and Rishikesh retreats have time set aside for a dip in the strong flowing, clean, very cold, mountain-pure Ganges. The prana that is the river current flows through our bodies. At the Shasta retreat in 2015 he answered a question about eclipses saying that they enhance the meditation and the flowing water even more so. A Full Moon lunar eclipse? Go find a river to meditate in…….. or bathtub.
And every year at Middle Falls I see it and recognize it. Hamsas from the whole West Coast and beyond are there: from Vancouver down to San Diego……and those are just the ones I know…..The scene of scattered Hamsas, some off under the waterfall sitting, others across the water happy to be drying off in the sun. Valiant yogis to be! And that water is cold. I can personally attest to sitting under the falls and feeling the energy rise. The science Yogiraj gives us is true.
A few tourist families mill about at the Falls as well, with dad taking a dip in the water and the kids looking on. And of course the “beer drinkers” ( a term my mother uses) are there as well- sunburned skin, cigarettes, beer, loud voices and heavy metal soundtrack.
How wonderful that we have something to do there. “Go sit and do Kriya pryanayam under that waterfall, or stand in the cold river water doing Surya.” Oh yes I can do that.

“SHIVAPAT”
Unique Phenomenon of Awaring Consciousness
The raising of mass consciousness of the people by Yogiraj Siddhanath, to a thought free state of Enlightenment is unprecedented in the spiritual history of the modern age.
Come experience this unique phenomenon as already experienced by tens of thousands of people, of the yesteryears.
Today he travels the world giving United Consciousness Conference (UCCs), bringing the awareness of all seekers to this ineffable mind-dissolving state of total satisfaction; where you feel content beyond all desires and you want nothing more. Where you experience the nostalgia, that this is it; I have reached home!
Sitting in the presence of the Master of masters, this experience of Awaring Consciousness our beloved Master bestows upon us, is by him, called “Shivapat”.
From testimonies of some of those who have attended previous year’s retreats at
Carlsbad, it is clear that the energy levels seem to be particularly heightened
by the presence of the Pacific Ocean at the doorstep of this venue. Many spiritual and emotional healings have
taken place over the last couple of years at this retreat.
In today’s world, with all its social disharmony and anger, the clearing of our
chakras and getting them balanced is necessary for not only good mental and
emotional health, but also for our spiritual growth. We live in a world where our uncontrolled
feelings and emotions can cause us great suffering; so healing them with loving
energy will help give us greater wisdom to take our spiritual journey forward.
The elemental nature of the second chakra is water. The healing transmission
with Yogiraj, combined with the elemental nature of the vast ocean will focus
this powerful healing force on each of us. When the second chakra is in balance
we will experience sensations of wellness, pleasure, gratitude, and joy along
with better physical and emotional health.
Space is still available for this retreat! hwww.vps105180.inmotionhosting.com/events/yogiraj-events
Every morning I am born anew. There is love in my heart, and wisdom is radiating from my mind. I bow to the in dwelling Spirit residing in all of us. That at the level of consciousness, humanity is one. I am Spirit, I am Truth, I am Love Divine, this Body, Mind a Dream of Mine. The only purpose of man’s sojourn on this Earth is to seek God, all other things are secondary details.
This is pure spirituality. If Earth Peace is to happen on Earth, let us realize that Humanity is our uniting Religion, Breath our uniting Prayer, and Consciousness our uniting God.
” Awaken to your rights!
Humanity is our uniting religion
Breath is our uniting prayer, and
Consciousness is our uniting God”-Yogiraj Siddhanath
