Throughout the month of May, Siddha Yogis around the world are celebrating Baba Muktananda’s Birthday by sharing their stories about receiving teachings from Baba. These shares are from people of diverse backgrounds regarding a range of topics. Each shows Baba conveying a personal lesson—sometimes with humor, sometimes with a gesture, sometimes by expressing an unexpected observation.
Through their satsang with a Siddha Yoga Master, these seekers came to recognize the nature of the priceless gift they had received.
I am grateful for these exquisite stories about our beloved Baba! As I read them, tears of joy and recognition ran down my face; I loved Baba so much. It is through the sharing of how the Guru transforms our lives that I am reminded again and again of how fortunate I am. Upon arising every day, I say with full conviction, “I am alive by the grace of the Siddhas: Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, Baba Muktananda, and Bhagavan Nityananda.” I am so grateful for their guidance over the past forty-five years.

Thank you so much, Gurumayi, for including these in our celebration of Baba.

These stories of Baba make it possible for me to have his darshan in so many beautiful ways. My heart can’t help but overflow with the Guru’s magical and immense love that saturates everything, everywhere. Perhaps this is Baba’s signature: the very experience of God.
