LAKULISH LINEAGE
Our Pilgrims of Love
DADAJI
Lakulish Lineage
Lord Lakulish was the 28th incarnation of Shiva.
The Lakulish Lineage dates back almost 6,000 years, historically descending from Shaivism. Dadaji, or "beloved grandfather," was a direct teacher to Swami Kripalvanandaji between the years 1933-1981 passing on the sacred arcane teachings by word of mouth and way of our Lineage, from Beloved Teacher to Trusted Disciple.
SWAMI KRIPALU
Swami Kripalvanandaji was born in 1913 and was
raised in Gujarat, India. He became a Sannyasi,
traveling and teaching the Bhagavad Gita through his prolific darshans and music.
He was the direct Guru to young Ashutosh Muni, eventually passing on the lineage along with specific instructions on how to carry out his mission of Divine Love. Swami Kripalvanandaji, known to his disciples as their Bapuji, is a saint. He gave up his body in 1981. His mahasamadhi lies in the Temple built after him in Malav, Gujarat, India.
1913 - 1981
BAPUJI
Born in 1953
Ashutosh Muni was born in 1953. He was trained as a medical doctor in India spending every weeked studying at the feet of his Bapuji, Swami Kripalvanandaji. He was later initiated into sanyasi, observing complete silence and seclusion for 25 years while residing in the
United States.
In 2005 he began teaching. His extreme love and compassion drew others near him and he has spent the years since 2005 teaching, as his Bapuji taught him. Acting as a beloved father and mentor to those who come to him for darshan (teachings), he carries on the mission of the Lakulish Lineage.
