LEARN ABOUT THE RICH TRADITION OF YOGIRAJ SIDDHANATH, A LIFE-LONG PRACTITIONER, MENTOR AND GUIDE.

Who is Yogiraj Siddhanath?

Yogiraj Siddhanath is a living Grandmaster from India, renowned for his spiritual teachings and the transformative experiences he shares. He began spontaneously meditating from the age of three, a practice that was deepened when he encountered Mahavatar Babaji — “the greatest enigmatic mystery of spiritual history.” Babaji was first introduced to the world through Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda.

Yogiraj descends from the Solar Dynasty of Ikshvaku, the lineage that includes both Lord Rama and the Buddha. His spiritual training was rooted in the Nath Sampradaya, an ancient tradition that traces its origins to primordial times. He spent his early years in the Himalayas with these great Nath Yogis, radiating with wisdom and discipline.

At the age of 23, Yogiraj underwent a profound transformation following his direct experience with Shiva Goraksha Babaji, introduced to the world first by this name. This profound happening endowed him with the unique ability to transmit the “Shivapat” or No-Mind State. This rare transmission is an experience of the Clear Light of Awareness, a state beyond mental activity that brings about bliss and spiritual clarity. Those who have witnessed this state describe it as “shocking and new,” beyond the reach of ordinary words.

A Timeless Teaching

Living with grace, humor, and strength, Yogiraj meditates continuously and emits his spiritual transmission much like the Sun radiates light. His teachings focus on Babaji’s Kundalini Kriya Yoga, a sacred spinal breathing technique that brings peace, balance, and power into everyday life. With regular practice, this technique is said to lead to Self-Realization or Enlightenment.

A key element of Yogiraj’s mission is the evolution of human consciousness and the upliftment of humanity. His message is one of unity and peace, summed up in his call for “Earth Peace Through Self Peace.” He encourages people to come together, celebrate life, and strive for a higher, nobler goal: the betterment of the world through inner transformation.

Through his work, Yogiraj Siddhanath empowers individuals by sharing this ancient yet modern science of Kriya Yoga, offering not just a spiritual path but a practical tool for navigating the challenges of modern life.

About Your Teacher, Bryan Gates

Bryan is a devotee and disciple of Yogiraj SatGurunath Siddhanath, having received his Empowerment, or Initiation, into Babaji’s Kundalini Kriya Yoga in 2001 at the Siddhanath Forest Ashram in the jungles of Maharashtra. After first learning of this remarkable Yogi through a childhood friend in 1998, it took two years and many obstacles to finally get the chance to meet him person—an encounter that would change the course of his life forever. He immersed himself in the yogic training, lifestyle, and ever-radiating transmission of Yogiraj, or Nath as he is called by some, and experienced profound transformations and constant surprises. At that point, he realized that Yogiraj was his SatGuru and that this was his spiritual path for life.

After spending 15 years in the corporate renewable energy world at SunPower and Tesla, Bryan now resides in Southern California with his wife and three children. Inspired by the living Presence of Yogiraj and his practices, he teaches these Kriya Yoga and Surya (Solar) Yogas, as well as beginners meditation. Bryan also creates accessible yogic content for a diverse set of audiences. His long-term meditation series at Google, alongside meditation workshops for tech companies, culminated in the online learning experience he calls “an advanced beginner’s course,” titled Meditations for Peace and Power: Sourced From The Himalayan GrandMaster.
