Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath Illuminates Eastern Spirituality in Popular New Book
Online, May 3, 2012 (Newswire.com) - To audiences in the East, the name of Babaji is far from obscure. Babaji is a seminal religious figure, a spiritualist whose teachings continue to inspire many. Even so, Babaji's influence is not widely known to Americans. Author and teacher Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath is seeking to change all of that, however, through the release of a new book called Babaji: The Lightning Standing Still. The book, though just released, is already a popular seller, having sold out of its first run of hardcover editions.
Still available in paperback form, the book is a crowning achievement for Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath, who draws direct inspiration from Babaji and even calls himself Babaji's immediate spiritual heir. Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath has found great success as a teacher, even presenting on the floor of the United Nations, and his YouTube videos have gained thousands of hits. Babaji: The Lightning Standing Still distills many of his teachings to their essence. Though the book focuses on the life and work of Babaji, it also offers illumination into Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath's own views on "Earth peace through self peace."
The book is being regarded as the definitive work on Babaji's "divine work throughout the ages, and His secret avataric assistants." The author regards Babaji as a figure of unrivaled spiritual significance. "Shiva Goraksha Babaji is the wisdom head, the fragrant heart and the undying soul of all humanities come and gone," he says. "He is the Great Sacrifice, upon which all civilizations, nations and worlds are built, sustained and dissolved."
And as the new book continues to gain in popularity, Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath is celebrating it with a world tour. Already underway, the book tour will feature stops in India, Europe, and America.
Some of the stops on the tour will be very unlike traditional "book tour" appearances, however. In fact, some of them are planned as multi-day spiritual retreats. Several of the American dates will be seminars and workshops, meanwhile, with many of them focused on the practice of yoga. Indeed, Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath has long maintained that, while yoga in the Western world is often divorced from its spiritual context, the practice is actually central to finding true peace with the self.
Full information about the book tour, including tour dates, can be located at http://www.siddhanath.org. There are still openings left for many of the American dates; Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath will be making appearances in cities such as Seattle, New York, and Los Angeles. Registration is required for many of these events, but online registration is available at the website.
