Swami Muktananda (1908-1982) was a Saint from Ganeshpuri, India, whose writings capture the essence of Indian spirituality. Although the words of great Masters are invaluable, Muktananda's greatest contribution will no doubt be his bringing the secret, and experience, of Shaktipat (the awakening of one's kundalini energy) to the West. He also established the present form of Siddha yoga-a yoga based on chanting, meditation, service, and one's relationship to a perfect Master-which is practiced in ashrams and centers throughout the world.
