ABOUT THE BOOK 

The Walking Shiva of Varanasi is a spiritual and biographical tribute to one of India’s most revered modern saints, Swami Karpatri Ji Maharaj (1907–1982). Written by the prolific author V.V.B. Rama Rao, the book captures the life, intellect, and sheer spiritual presence of a man who was often described by his followers as a living manifestation of Lord Shiva.

The title refers to the deep reverence the people of Varanasi (Kashi) had for the Swami, who was a master of Advaita Vedanta, a staunch protector of Sanatana Dharma, and an ascetic who lived with extreme simplicity while possessing a profound command over the Shastras.
