I saw Babaji first time in 2nd april 1988 and he told me those pranayamas. I came back and begin to practice and in a very short time the time and space matter, the consciousness of this simply begins inside me; I begin to be aware of these things. And it grew more and more and more. And I think nearly it reach climax, when I came here to Govardhan to do my first parikrama. And I suffered so much in that parikrama that all these thoughts fell in alignment – they were very clear. And went we went back, one man simply ask me a question and the flow begin. It just blasted on him and that’s how the commentary came.

I think it is exactly as the result of meeting Babaji and the sadhana which he give. After written Gita’s commentary situation begin bad with my relatives and family, so I left my town. Landed in Vrindavan and some disciples would come from Gwalior and they will continue to ask me questions – so I decided to write the commentary on Yoga Darshan. One chapter every day – and it was done. It took four days, because I wrote it long in myself. I think writing these two commentaries warn me up to write Shiva Sutras. Then some questions come on Shiva Sutras, and I decided to write one commentary, which I did in one day – 17 hours to be precise. So many brakes in between – I was talking like this and writing at the same time. It was the climax of all that things. Because all this yoga and all those blessings of the great beings I was able to understand what is written in the shlokas, what is meaning, – so I simply just wrote it.

But writing a commentary on Shiva Sutras gave me the greatest of satisfaction – I considered it as my best work. Of course, Gita is good, Yoga Darshan is good, Shiva Sutras are the best. It looks like that three great beings came together, for a meeting after hundred thousand of years and they are simply said their own experience. I will say with all honesty, that much discuss is enough for beings so high. No more is needed to say. You are practicing yoga, so your understanding of this will develop more and more.

In Shiva Sutras are three chapters. So every being is giving a different version of the same thing. This names are unknown. Maybe Shiva, Shakti and some other yogi. This is my assumption, because there are three chapters – Shambho upaya, Shakto upaya and Anu upaya – it looks like three men just gave their experience. It is the most mysterious work I have ever come across in all my life so far. No match for Shiva Sutras. Maybe three heads of Dattatreya are talking. And I think it was ready inside me, that’s why I was able to finish the work in one day. But it’s small work, only 77 sutras – no big enough. Before writing Yoga Darshan and Shiva Sutras I had to leave home, I had to leave my home town and was going through so many nervous situations – at that time the masterpiece came.

… we assume, that it maybe Hanuman. Because always on the left side, absolute gold dancing shadow will be seen – like of a tall man, very slim, long-haired and bare-bodied. But there was no identity given. When I’ve reach a certain tempo in dictation – it begins from third chapter – his appearance will take place. And anybody, who was present in the room, was able to see him. All of them; because 6-7 people were sitting – I was talking very fast, it getting very fast – they are all writing down and they all see him. Those were fantastic days. First time I think a touch of miracle, a touch of divinity they feel. Same in Vrindavan also.
