Welcome to Siddha Kundalini Yoga website. My name is Mahendra Joshi.
I was born in Pune, India and I took Kundalini yoga diksha (also known as Siddha Yoga) from my
Guru P.P. Shri Srinivas Nakhate in 1985.
This event changed my
life for ever (not the material life, but the way or perspective with which I look at the life) and since then I have been practicing Siddha Yoga.
After practicing Siddha yoga for all these years I have been guided by my Guru P.P.
Shri Srinivas Nakhate, and
inspired by P.P. Shri Narayankaka Dhekane Maharaj, to
initiate the efforts to spread the knowledge about the Kundalini Yoga.
I am a follower of Vedanta and Sanatana Dharma **.
Here is all about my spiritual journey in Siddha Yoga. It is more of a Gyana-Bhakti
Yoga than Siddha Kundalini Yoga.

My Divine journey with my Guru
“Asato ma sadgamaya, Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya, Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya” - (Brhadaranyaka
Upanishad)
Meaning - God, Lead me from the asat to the sat, Lead me from darkness to light,
Lead me from death to immortality. A Journey from darkness (mudhawastha) to the
light (Bliss). |
I sometimes do workshops on Siddha yoga (in USA). I shall be happy
to conduct a workshop at any place where I can travel by car. The workshop may
be conducted at the community places like Temple, Community hall, Library etc. I am doing this as a service to my Guru who has been a guiding light in my entire
life as well as thousands of other sadhakas like me in India and abroad..
Please contact me if you are interested in having a workshop at
your place.

Mahendra presenting a session on Siddha Yoga in Missouri |
Freedom is not a commodity
that can be purchased. It is a rare, hidden treasure guarded by a five-hooded serpent.
Unless you tame this serpent,
you cannot have access to this treasure. That treasure is spiritual wealth; that
is freedom; that is bliss. The serpent is your mind. The five hoods are the five
senses through which the mind-serpent hisses.
Five Headed
Cobra and The Bliss. Divinity is all about getting rid of the
burdens that we carry, Freedom and the bliss will come when the cause of bondage
is removed!
Once Buddha was asked:
"What have you gained from Meditation?"
He replied: "Nothing!"
"However", Buddha said,
"let me tell you what I lost: Anger, Anxiety, Depression,
Insecurity, Fear of Old Age and Death."

***** Sanatana Dharma, meaning “Eternal or Universal Righteousness”
is the original name of what is now popularly called Hinduism. Sanatana Dharma comprises
of spiritual laws which govern the human existence. Sanatana Dharma is to human
life what natural laws are to the physical phenomena. Just as the phenomena of gravitation
existed before it was discovered, the spiritual laws of life are eternal laws which
existed before they were discovered by the ancient rishis (sages) for the present
age during the Vedic period. Sanatana Dharma declares that something cannot come
out of nothing and, therefore, the universe itself is the manifestation of the Divine
being.
COSMIC POWER HOUSE - Explained by Swami Sivananda
“Individual souls are like electric light bulbs. The bulbs get their light from
the power house. The Jivas (individual soul) get their power from Divine, the infinite
cosmic power house. The bulb imagines that it is independent and boasts of its effulgence
and power. It has no idea of its source. When the current fails it hangs its head
in shame and weeps. Even so, the Jiva drags out his egoism. O fool, O dunce, know
the source through purity, devotion, tapas, meditation and enjoy supreme peace and
Eternal Bliss." |
