From mischievous boy to cosmic Yogi — Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath reveals the inner journey from Dhyana to Samadhi.
In an intimate conversation with Rahul Dewan at his forest ashram, Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath traces his spiritual awakening from childhood — shaped by his grandfather’s daily Surya puja and Aditya Hridayam recitations — through successive expansions of consciousness: Dhyana, Vitarka Samadhi, and Vichar Samadhi. He speaks of how the mind gradually dissolves to reveal the Atma in its fullness.
Yogiraj addresses persistent misunderstandings about Sanatana Dharma and the Varnashrama system, arguing that what critics call caste is a Western and colonial construct imposed on a living spiritual civilisation. Part 1 of what promises to be a profound multi-part dialogue on yoga, consciousness, and India’s spiritual heritage.
