Book excerpt: Tapas Shakti is the spiritual power of a Self realized yogi attained through meditation in the state of consciousness called samadhi or enlightenment. In samadhi, the person is in bliss and no longer aware of time or the body. Shri Shri Shri Shivabalayogi Maharaj spontaneously entered samadhi at age fourteen. He meditated in samadhi 23 hours each day for eight years, then at least 12 hours daily for another four years. At times he remained in samadhi for weeks or months without interruption. He completed his twelve-year tapas on August 7, 1961. This book contains a rare and detailed account of a yogi's tapas together with Shivabalayogi's biography, his conversations on a wide variety of subjects, and personal experiences of some of the many thousands of lives Shivabalayogi has transformed. This edition is a reprint of the original 1992 publication.
