Philosophy
Rudra Shivananda has committed himself to spreading the ancient yogic techniques of the Naths and Siddhas in a contemporary way. He believes that societies can only exist completely in harmony with one another and with nature when human consciousness advances to the highest level, that of super consciousness. Only then, can humanity enjoy true peace and happiness. In this spirit of speeding up the evolution of human consciousness, he teaches that the only lasting way to bring happiness into one’s life is by consistent practice of awareness and transformation. He believes that true evolution is that of consciousness and that true healing is self-Healing.
