Swami Ken
Born in 1945, Swami Ken began his spiritual quest at an
early age. A resident of Minnesota, he spent his early years in the conquest of
knowledge by taking private sabbaticals in the northern woods, studying the
works of the great masters, chopping wood and carrying water. One wintery
morning he went out for firewood, and spotted a dead branch up in a tree. He
climbed up to cut it with a logger’s saw, but it slipped as the branch fell and
cut a gash in his leg. No one was around
for miles, so Swami Ken managed to drag himself down the tree and back to the
forest cabin. His leg was bleeding profusely. After wrapping it in cloth, the
only thing he knew to do was to sit quietly and meditate. He sat for hours in
deep meditation. As he meditated, the pain began to subside. When Swami Ken
came out of meditation, he took the cloth off his leg, and to his amazement,
the gash had closed and the leg had healed completely! The universal healing
power of meditation was completely validated that day for Swami Ken.
Swami Ken is a direct disciple of Sri Shivabalayogi Maharaj
and was initiated into a special type of discipline known as 'Tapas.' The tapas
as given by Swami Shivabalayogi is for a few stalwart souls who have the
ability to sit in a deep state of meditation known as 'samadhi' for extended
periods. When his master first touched Swami Ken on the third eye, initiating
him into tapas, Swami Ken fell into a deep state of Samadhi and did not come
out for five hours. Subsequently, he lived at Sri Shivabalayogi’s ashram in Bangalore , India
practicing from 10 to 15 hours of meditation per day. After returning to America,
he continued his tapas as instructed by his teacher. Shivabalayogi initiated thousands
of people into meditation, and a few direct disciples into tapas, such as Swami
Ken. Having sustained his meditation practice over 25 years and his tapas for
more than seven years, he still practices meditation on a daily basis and has
direct contact with his guru inwardly through his meditations.
As directed by his master, he continues to make this simple
technique available to all who are sincerely interested in learning how to
meditate. This initiation is for all people on all paths. Shivabalayogi said
that you should not change paths or gurus, but that this initiation into
meditation will only strengthen and deepen your own path of choice (If you are
a Christian, you will become a better Christian. If you are a Hindu, you will
become a better Hindu, for example). And no one needs any money. Meditation is
free. God is all around you and within you! You only have to tap into it
through the grace of the guru.
*Om Jai Sri Sri Sri Shivabalayogi
Maharaj!*

The square posters are sized at 18" x 18", the rectangular and vertical posters are sized at 18" x 24".

This beautiful yantra is an inspirational focus on the Divine Person, Christ, Son of God. The center focus is the Master Jesus, who embodied the Cosmic Christ Consciousness. This is a way to concentrate on the eternal Atma or Christ Consciousness deep within the soul, inspiring spiritual awakening.
If you are of the Christian persuasion, this is a wonderful way to begin your daily meditations.
