Quotation

All those who came to me for Shaktipat are worthy, and all of them are my spiritual heirs. For my energy works through them.

Madhusudandas was born in the northern state of Bihar.[1] He spent 37 years practicing yoga and at the age of 43 met his guru Parameshawardasji on Mount Abu where he received his Shaktipat initiation.[1] He devoted his life to awakening the kundalini in spiritual seekers. He opened a hospital in Bihar and a school in Gujarat.[1] Between 1976 and 1980 he lived in the United States and gave public kundalini awakening sessions. He was the founder of Dhyanyoga Centers, Inc.[1]

Madhusudandas died on August 29, 1994, at the alleged age of 116.[1][4]
