Inner Strength Perspective

Avdhoot Baba Shivanand

In this blue chip age life has acquired new dimensions. Apart from being grossly materialistic, the
life nowadays revolves around exploring ways and means to escape tensions, upheavals and
stress. These factors are keepsakes of modern day cosmopolitan life. Not to mention diseases
pertaining to the state of restlessness. In this scenario people are literally caught between devil
and the deep sea. Meaning the cures to these acquired ailments are as severe as the malaise.
For example, a person suffering from diabetes has to endure frequent intravenous injections
before and after every meal. Strong antibiotic tablets with potential for hazardous after effects are
more norm than exception these days. Same goes for rigorous and life sapping medical therapies
normally prescribed as panacea. The precious commodity called relief is hard to come by.

Relief nowadays is more scarce that oxygen on the Himalayas. The relief that we are talking of
implies to all the ills besieging the humanity. People live in constant shadow of fear. Fear of
unknown is lurking in the mind of everyone. Blame it on terrorism and violence of every
perceivable variety but actually the reason lies somewhere else. It lies in our minds. Remember
that age-old credo-“Idle mind is devils workshop”. This adage albeit differently can clearly
illustrate the root cause of all our predicaments. It would go something like this-“A polluted mind
infested with negative thought is devil workshop.” It is people themselves who are bringing all the
miseries upon them. And no doctor, psychiatrist can rid them from this syndrome. Rather relief to
this syndrome lies within each of us. It is just a matter of reaching out to it. Blessed souls like
Avdhoot Baba Shivananda are there to guide anyone who wants to reach out to his or her
reservoir of remedial powers. Avdhoot Baba Shivananda’s soul mission in life is dedicated to
rooting out negativity from the earth. If negativity is banished world would be absolutely free from
all kinds of malaise ranging from social to physiological.

The Man and His Noble Mission

Avdhoot Baba Shivananda was initiated into meditation at a tender age of eight. His Guru was
108 Swami Jagannathji was blessed with immense Siddha powers. Perhaps Swamiji had inkling
that one day this prodigal disciple would make him proud. Babaji started his spiritual journey with
Shakti Upasana. With the aid of Shirdi Sai Baba he successfully completed his Sadhna. Destiny it
seems had chosen him for a specific role. More specifically for the role of a benevolent and
benefactor Siddha, who would bring joy and succor to the aggrieved, so to speak. Baba
Shivananda’s search for Guru for further pursuits culminated at the Ashram of Sadguru
Nityananda. Another divine incarnate blessed with amazing powers.

Avdhoot Baba Shivananda’s spiritual odyssey took him to all sacred places. He spent endless
hours meditating and praying for Siddha powers. It was a gradual cycle of spiritual awakening
and realization for him. In the due process he learnt secrets of divinity that empowered him to
provide relief and succor to the aggrieved. Babaji attributes all his accomplishments to his Guru
Sadguru Nityananda. And in compliance with Gurudev Nityananda’s legacy, Babaji laid
foundation for World Spiritual Healing Foundation. The platform for realization and liberation.

Avdhoot Baba Shivananda has acquired profound expertise in spiritual healing. His approach on
spiritual healing is pragmatic and crystal clear. No wonder his discourses have become a healing
by themselves. Babaji propagates the use of versatile and immense powers of Kundalini. This is
a fountainhead of Shakti he says. There have been instances where people with non-conformist
views experienced miraculous healing just by watching Babaji’s programme on TV. Sometimes
people are claimed to have felt complete relief from kidney stone and other fatal ailments while
watching his discourses. Babaji sees nothing unusual in this. For him such occurrences are a
testimony to the all pervasive powers of Kundalini. Kundalini, he says, is capable enough to wipe
out the negativity from entire planet. Avdhoot Baba Shivananda’s mission in life also runs on the
similar lines. To eradicate negativity from the earth! If his healing powers are anything to go by,
such eventuality is well within the realms of possibility.
