Biography - Yogiraj Shri Shailendra Sharma – Official Website | Fifth Guru in the Lineage of Mahavatar Babaji Maharaj

“I was nineteen or twenty at that time. I went to the bookstore and found that book. I still remember I paid sixteen rupees for it. I read it in one breath. The pictures of Lahiri Mahasaya, Babaji and others were so familiar to me as if I knew those people. And when I read about kriya yoga, I thought: this is the thing I must do. And I began to search for a guru”.

“I faced lots of adventures and misadventures while searching for a guru. So many fake gurus, so many techniques that only in word are the techniques of kriya yoga, so many false sadhus and sanyasis. I was 25 years old. Did I think that those three years of searching for a guru would be so educative? Now I can make a comparison, I can see what is wrong and what is right”.

“Suddenly I became much wiser. Besides I became so strong that I was lifting most of my disciples over head with one hand. And that was the first time I understood that yoga practice also gives you extraordinary physical abilities and strength”.Once a disciple of Yogiraj asked him some question – and unexpectedly he composed the whole commentary on Bhagavat Gita. For three weeks were his disciples taking down from his dictation.

“Like a miracle! An unemployed and suddenly – an owner of a palace! That became possible only with the grace of my guru and Govardhan Maharaja. I am sure it was manipulated by Shiva himself and Babaji”

At present Yogiraj lives in the smashan, practices yoga, initiates disciples all over the world and converses with them on philosophical issues. “My house is open for all true seekers who come to me with sincere heart” — he says. His life being outwardly quiet and regular, you can find incredible events that happen in the life of Yogiraj and his disciples.
