Who is Swami?

Swami Sri Guru Brahmananda Nirvananath, Sri Swami Sai Krsna but simply called, “Swami”, is a direct disciple of Sri Guru Mahavatar Babaji and part of the Shiva Yoga Sampradaya (Tradition). Sri Mahavatar Babaji physically appeared to Swami’s mother once before his birth and once after telling her on both occasions, “Empty yourself of all that you ever knew.” When he was two years of age his Guru first appeared to Swami and told him his father would pass away when he was five and three years later on November 30, 2001, he came back and began Swami’s training. In an autobiography of a yogi by Paramahamsa Yogananda he states, “Sri Mahavatar Babaji is ever in communion with Christ; together they send on vibrations of redemption and have planned the spiritual technique of salvation for this age.” This technique is Kshama Kriya or the Action of Forgiving with Awareness for the sake of the Awareness of your True Self. Swami’s path is Advaita Kshama Marga and he is the one they have chosen to initiate the world into this holy practice that leads to Self-Realization, undisturbed peace and unbroken happiness. Along with the initiation into Kshama Kriya, Swami has been implored by his Guru to offer Darshan, Discourse, and initiate seekers and aspirants into Shaktipat or a “Transmission of Grace” which includes transmitting the Panchashakti’s or five powers (Chit, Ananda, Jnana, Iccha, and Kriya) and Mahavatar Mudra, the spontaneous initiation into breath awareness, conscious awareness, and conscious breathing without any formal instruction of these three.
