Born in 1770 in the royal family of Patiala, prince Krishna Singh was past 55 years
old, when he embarked on his spiritual quest for the divine. He performed decades of
intense tapas (penance) in the Himalayas and earned the name of Tapaswiji Maharaj.
He intuited the highest levels of spiritual wisdom and reached the loftiest yogic
states. He became a celebrated saint and a master of masters. In 1955 after an
amazing life of 185 years, he voluntarily departed from his body in a final yogic act
with AUM resonating on his lips.
From a Himalayan master he learnt the secrets of Kaya-kalpa treatment, a cellular
rejuvenation process, for the rejuvenation of the human body. He went through the
Kaya-kalpa treatments to regain his own youth three times. He secured the darsan of
Bhagavan Sri Krishna, Lord Dattatrey, Lord Parasurama, goddess Mahalakshimi and
of several historic masters, sages, and personages, including Guru Nanak, Narada
Maharshi, Durvasa Maharshi and Aswathama. During his long life time, he traveled
all over India imparting spiritual wisdom to innumerable seekers of truth. He was
established in the Self. He realized the divine play everywhere and loved everyone
equally with a blissful smile. He exhibited a childlike spirit at all times, enjoying
every moment. In the 1940’s T.S. Anantha Murthy became a close disciple of
Tapaswiji. As the author of this biography, he has recorded the most remarkable
spiritual experiences, encounters with other masters and many other mysterious
events that the saint himself revealed. Readers of this biography will be inspired in
their own spiritual efforts and elevated to higher levels of spiritual inquiry.
