Under the instructions of his Guru, Bhagavan Nityananda, he established the Gurudev Siddha Peeth ashram in Ganeshpuri, India, and later traveled extensively across the West during the 1970s, introducing the ancient science of \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"365\"\u003eshaktipat\u003c\/i\u003e and mantra meditation to hundreds of thousands of seekers worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eBaba Muktananda’s authorial and narrative style is exceptionally candid, powerful, and deeply ecstatic. Writing with the authoritative directness of a realized master combined with the warm, supportive guidance of a loving mentor, he strips away the dry academic jargon of theology to focus purely on direct inner experience. He masterfully blends standard scriptural references (such as the \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"392\"\u003eShiva Sutras\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"409\"\u003eVedanta\u003c\/i\u003e) with poetic, deeply vulnerable descriptions of his own visions and struggles. By balancing rigorous spiritual discipline with an accessible, narrative-driven flow, his collective literature remains the international gold standard for scholars of mysticism, yoga philosophy, and spiritual seekers around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chitshakti Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52016128655658,"sku":"VASY-8186693610","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/61ZumArByWL._SL1200.jpg?v=1782794432","url":"https:\/\/crazyshelf.com\/products\/play-of-consciousness-a-spiritual-autobiography","provider":"Crazyshelf.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
