Dr Avdhoot Shivanand, also known as Babaji, which means a father is a Master of Ancient Vedic Practices. He has been sharing the sacred knowledge of ancient Siddhas which was transmitted from the Guru only to the worthy disciples.
The tender age of 8 was the turning point for Babaji, when a great Himalayan Yogi, 108 Jagannath Swami gave him a mantra and left. Thus began the Spiritual journey with the guidance of His Masters. After attaining His Self, Babaji decided to share his Divine knowledge. Mass workshop were taken to teach the ways of healing oneself and others physically and emotionally. They practiced the ways to burn the Karmi structures, which were responsible for all the sufferings in lives. Babaji soon was known as “Father of Indian Healing”
In order to evolve Spirituality and to liberate oneself, running away from the worldly responsibilities was not the solution, taught Babaji. He led an example that even a Grihast can attain self realization. The lesson of staying detached by witnessing everything as a play of consciousness, was taught. Unconditional forgiveness, acceptance and Love were more valued, as it is the Hallmark of Siddha.
What is Siddha?
Siddha is a liberated being beyond the barriers of religion, language and also the boundaries that discriminate life in any form, like man, animal or a plant. Babaji accepts all religion as one, and believes that every religion is important as everything sprouts from one source.

By doing this, he not only satisfying the voice of his soul, but also want to led an example for the people who strive to make the world a better place.
Babaji and Guruma:
Babaji and Guruma have spent a major part of their this incarnation together, blending as the Shiva and Shakti on the physical realms. The divine pair of Unconditional Love are the foundation of the Foundation – Shiv Yog
As the teaching of his Masters, to feed the poor children, they both began to work for it. It started from bringing the vegatables, cooking and serving. They both did this with great love and affection. With the time, the number of children increased, and soon the cooks were hired.
Gurumaa had a special love for the cows and aimed at building a beautiful heaven for the cows in place near Alwar, Rajasthan. Babaji brought her dream into reality and a barren land, also known as Tapobhoomi was cultivated with great efforts, and now is a lush green field where the cows graze. Here the cows are not tied, but are let loose to move freely in their Heaven.
Activites:
Feeding the Hungry:
Babaji believes feeding the hungry is the greatest selfless seva to serve Humanity. He says serving dosent means contributing a large amount, inspite a person should physically get involve. Try reaching the right needy people, as feeding the well fed does not make any difference. When a hungry person satisfy his hunger and feels contented, the gratitude on his face is of great Spiritual Value. “Blessed is the home where along with the family members eat a few more people.”
Ration to Villagers:
Alwar has been the most beloved place of Babaji. The place that has given him so much, has thus resolved to give back by distributing monthly ration to all those who have been designated as below poverty level. The circle of beneficiaries is expanding every day and it is now beginning to include even those who are not in poverty but lead a frugal life. Baba ji has formed dedicated service teams comprising dedicated Shiv Yog seekers which distribute a fixed amount of grains, pulses and cooking oil in a very systematic manner.
Helping Farmers:
Seeing the poor condition of the modern farmers, their unending financial debts, poor returns on investment, uncertain weather conditions, lack of irrigation so on and so forth, it occurred to Babaji that the rich wealth of wisdom in Shiv Yog had answers to all the modern agricultural problems. He decided to grace free cost programmes for farmers to guide the effective holistic process of farming, revolutionize cultivation as it is practiced in the country. The benefits accrued to the farmers have led the agricultural universities to invite Babaji to share his enlightened views.
Aid in Education of poor:
Education is the most important aspect for the children, but the poor conditions of the family cannot afford to even primary education. It is believed by Babaji that the Children of today are the Creators of tomorrow. Best efforts should be taken for educating children. The ashram has been involved in various projects that supply school uniforms, school books, bags, etc to children from poor families. He believes that whatever is done should be the best without compromises in what is given. Seva always means doing selfless service to the best of one’s ability and should not be done with the title of doing charity or service. He says ways that every human should impart a small percentage of their income in giving back to the world through these ways.
Owning the Disowned:
The most unbelivabe acts oh humn nature of birthing and discarding the newly born babies to the mercy of circumstances. Fortunately, there are so many NGOs and social workers who are bright humans whose hearts light out of compassion and work relentlessly towards reaching such disowned lives into safer environments of orphanages and the home for destitute. The foundation tries its best to reach out funds or in kind the things required for running such institutions which at times also are struggling to keep the noble deeds alive. Gurumaa visits such places and spends time with the little ones. There are many other organizations that the foundation gives support in form of education, clothes, toys, food, gifts and other daily needed comforts like television, refrigerators, etc, which is personally looked after and delivered by Ishan ji and Guruma. Ishan ji who is the hero to them, spends a good deal of time with these children, sharing jokes, personal experiences, and things of their interests like video games, movies, games, etc. But it is seen that with everything that he shares with the children, it slowly ends with a note of wisdom and morality. Sometimes these children are called to the ashram where food, games and fun is arranged by another child – Ishan ji who is literally lost with them becoming difficult to make him stand out from children. Babaji reminds the children that they are not alone and that they have a father and brother to take care of them and the children are asked open heartedly whatever they wish from Ishan bhaiya and that it will be provided to them. The foundation receives letters and mails of love and gratitude by such many children from all over the world, where Babaji offers his support in the best way he can.
