Swami Shankar Purushottam Tirtha
1988-1958
Swamiji's yearning for inner freedom was greater than the call for freedom from Britain. Eventually he found his guru, Sri Narayan Dev Tirtha who inducted him into the Siddhayoga meditation tradition. Later, with his guruji's blessings he became a sanyasi under Shankaracharya Swami Bharati Krishna Tirtha. Swamiji had 2 ashrams, one in Uttarkashi and one in Kashi.

Swamiji became a sanyasi (monk) under the Shankaracharya, Swami Bharati Krishna Tirtha. In time, Swamiji found himself with an ashram in the Himalayan village, Uttarkashi, where he looked after the welfare of his disciples. It was there that he wrote this book, Guru Bani.
In the 1990?s it was translated into English by Swami Narayan Tirtha?s disciple, Uma Sanyal. Swamiji wrote several other books, among them was Yoga Vani: Instructions for the Attainment of Siddhayoga, which influenced some of the modern Siddhayoga traditions.
