Agastyar - Ramalingam - Baba Sri Siva

Yoga is the science of attaining merger of the individual soul with Divinity or God. Yoga comes from a Sanskrit word that means “yoke” or “unite.” Many in the West think of yoga as a set of physical exercises and postures, which is just one discipline of yoga called Hatha Yoga. In its truest sense, though, yoga refers to union with God consciousness.

There is a lineage of saints who brought a form of yoga, Kriya Yoga, to the world, who originated from a region of India known as Tamil Nadu, which is located on the Bay of Bengal near the island country of Sri Lanka.

Tradition has it that one of the first of these saints or “siddhas” was Agastyar, who subsequently initiated Babaji, who is considered the greatest of the Kriya Yoga saints. Babaji was born in the Tamil region of India in 203 AD, and his teachings have been transmitted over time. In addition to Agastyar and Babaji, there were 16 other saints who contributed to the body of knowledge contained in Kriya Yoga. Recently, the teachings of Babaji and the science of Kriya Yoga have been popularized by Paramahansa Yogananda, who wrote Autobiography of a Yogi and who founded the Self Realization Fellowship.

Today, there is a living saint or siddha from the Tamil region of India who as come to the West to share the wisdom of Kriya Yoga, which is the science of attaining union with the Divine. This

siddha’s name is Dattatreya Siva Baba, though he has also been known as Baba Sri Siva, Sri Siva, Sri Guruji, Guruji and Brzee. Dattatreya Siva Baba has served as a spiritual teacher to Dr. Wayne Dyer, whose book, Manifest Your Destiny, is based on Baba Sri Siva’s teachings. Indeed, Dr. Dyer dedicated this book to Baba Sri Siva as “Guruji.”

In this narrative, we will discuss several past lives of Dattatreya Siva Baba. In each lifetime, he was a siddha of the Kriya Yoga tradition. A past lifetime of Dr. Wayne Dyer, which is featured in Return of the Revolutionaries, will also be described.

I am very pleased to relate that Dattatreya Siva Baba has become a supporter of my work and book, Return of the Revolutionaries, and he has validated that I am the reincarnation of John Adams. We share a common belief that objective evidence of reincarnation can help create greater world peace. Indeed, Dattatreya Siva Baba has announced that Kali Yuga, or the Age of Darkness, is ending and that an Age of Miracles, or Age of Truth, has arrived. I believe that the objective evidence of reincarnation, which is now streaming into the world, will help usher in this new Age of Truth. Let us now turn to past lifetimes of Dattatreya Siva Baba.

On his web site, www.sivababa.org, and in his book, The One Minute Guide to Prosperity and Enlightenment, Dattatreya Siva Baba identifies four of his past lives, based on his memories and knowledge of these lifetimes. In a session with Kevin Ryerson, I asked about the two most notable past lifetimes of Dattatreya Siva Baba, Agastyar, the Tamil Siddha described above, and Swami Ramalingam, also known as Vallalar, who dissolved himself into light in 1874. Ahtun Re, the spirit guide channeled through Mr. Ryerson, who has demonstrated an ability to make accurate past life matches, has confirmed that Dattatreya Siva Baba is indeed the reincarnation of Agastyar and Ramalingam. To review cases that demonstrate Ahtun Re’s abilities to make accurate past life matches, please examine the cases of Ralph Nader, Carl Sagan and Oprah Winfrey. Let us now review Dattatreya Siva Baba's past lifetimes as Agastyar and Ramalingam.
