Swami Budhpuri Ji

Biography
Swami Budhpuri (born on March 23 , 1947 at the village Kotla in Distt. Jalandhar, Punjab, India), an MTech from IIT Delhi (1972) and ex-lecturer at MNREC Allahabad (1972-1974) and now a Yogi, is known for his scientific outlook towards spirituality. Owing to his investigative nature he has explored almost all the spiritual paths, popular or secret viz. Karma Yoga (Selfless Service), Hatha Yoga (systematic practices using the physical body as a tool), Bhakti Yoga (devotional practices and rituals), Jnana Yoga (study and exercise of Vedas and other authentic scriptures from different traditions alongside learning of Divine language Sanskrit), Raja Yoga (subtle practices mainly using the mind & the prana as tools), Mantra Yoga (practices involving sounds and vibrations and music), Kundalini Yoga (practices to bring out the hidden potential of humans) and much more.
He has also written volumes on these seemingly different paths in the light of his research and experiences. His magnum opus ‘Chingar Ton Brahma Jot’ touches them all in 935 pages written originally in Punjabi. His research works are regularly published in a Quarterly Magazine ‘Kund Agni Shikha’ and a Punjabi daily newspaper ‘Jag Bani’. National health magazines ‘Nirogdham’ and ‘Vaidyaraj’ also cover his teachings from time to time.
After almost 30 years of scrupulous research he formulated ‘Siddhamrit Surya Kriya Yoga’ a practice based on Sun, which may be used by one and all to alleviate all physical, mental and spiritual problems and attain the ultimate goal of life. This goal in his words is to manifest the divine consciousness even at the physical level.
Early life
Swami Budhpuri was born on the festive occasion of Holi in year 1947 at the village Kotla in Distt. Jalandhar, Punjab, India as Vijay Pal to Bhagat Ram and Ram Piari. His parents were followers of Swami Ramananda. The home environment was very stimulating for the divine knowledge so he went through the epic of the Ramayana when he was student of second standard. He finished studying Bhagwat Gita, Bhagat Bani, most of theosophical works of Swami Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo at very tender age. He had his first profound experience of elevated spiritual state, when he was a student of the ninth grade. He found himself encircled in a hallowing light. This was repeated many times, thereafter.
Turning point
With passing time his interest in spirituality was being intensified. It was in year 1970 when he was initiated at the gracious hands of his Holiness, Paramahamsa Swami Dyalpuri . After the Diksha was solemnized, his heart was resounding with strange sentiment of detachment and conviction: "there is nothing but Thee, O lord, only Thee". Swami Dyalpuri catching up the mind of his Shishya, asked him to not to overlook his responsibilities. He remembered that he had taken some loan for pursuing his MTech and thus he must pay it back. He completed his master’s degree and then joined MNREC Allahabad as a lecturer, solely for this purpose. He kept himself aloof from all other activities around and continuously pursued his spiritual practices whole-heartedly. As soon as he was free from the debt, he rushed to the Master’s feet.
Making of a Monk
His Holiness Swami Dyalpuri , who was an eminent scholar of his time, suffered from acute trachoma. But in view of the well being of the public, and especially for the passionate seekers of the knowledge of Sanskrit and the Vedas, he continued his teaching till the problem took its toll. He then left Kashi and came back to Dera Harisar, Kila Raipur , Punjab. Vijay met him here, and who then committed himself to Master's assist. For more than nine years i.e. from 1975 to 1983, he devotedly served the Master day in and day out. A time came, when the Master was
hardly able to see. Then Vijay resolved not to have even a wink of sleep in discharging his services. For almost 3 years he maintained this resolution until the Master left his body of five elements on Jan. 23 1983. But before leaving his body, the Master initiated the able disciple in Sanyasa.
