Our Legacy
Guru Parampara
Rudranaad Foundation traces its roots to the profound tradition of Pashupat Shaivism of Kashmir, a cradle from which various doctrines of yoga, tantrism, and esoteric traditions were born. Our spiritual journey unfolds through a lineage of esteemed masters, each contributing to the rich tapestry of our tradition.
Our tradition begins with Guru Dattatreya followed by a lineage of masters like Aadinath, Rudranaad Baba, Mahavtar Babaji, Kalagninath, Sadashivnath, Rudraveer, Avadhutnath, Mahadevi Kaulika, Rudrivachana, Aughad Das, Devi Timri, Kanifnath, Abhinavgupta and many more.
MahaAvatar Babaji
Shri Mahavatar Babaji is referred to as the immortal Himalayan Yogi and beloved student of Shri Rudranaad baba & Agastya Rishi. Babaji has mastered 64 Kriyas and passed on it's essence to us in the form- of Mahakriya. He is still amongst us with the technique of Kayakalp Samadhi through the help of Kriyayog; Kaya means body and Kalp means transformation.
Babaji looks like a teenager with dusky skin and a golden aura. He has influenced and guided many yogic masters. Babaji has revealed
This secret technique of Kriyayog to us for utmost physical, mental and spiritual upliftment. It is believed that Shri Mahavtar Babaji shows his presence to every kriyayogi if the sadhana is regular. Babaji assures that a Sadhak can become one with lord Shiva and • overcome any hurdles in life with consistent practice of Kriyayog Sadhana.
Shri Rudranaad Baba is an immortal yogi who denounced his death with his extraordinary yogic power ta serve humanity. He is the pioneer of our lineage and many great personalities have been influenced by his great teachings in the history.
He is one of the greatest Aghori and master of Tantrik preachings ever known. Some yogis also refer to him as Rudra Maharishi. He is alternatively known as Vajrabahu or Mahabahu because of his extraordinarily long arms (Ajanbahu] and great height.
He is the greatest Shiva devotee. His teachings mainly focus on spiritual reformation and rational reasoning. Baba has clearly mentioned that, Daan(charity), Dhyaan(meditation], Seva (service), Bhakti (devotion] are the fundamental principles of spirituality which lead to Samadhi (the ideal state of equilibrium) and Moksha (liberation).
Shri Rudranaad baba is also known as the shadow of lord Shiva and is mainly considered the guiding light of our Spiritual movement.

700 Years Later
In the 13th century, the tranquility of our spiritual abode was disrupted when the Muslim invaders of the Shah Mir Dynasty ravaged Kashmir. Temples were desecrated, and many sadhaks laid down their lives in the defense of our sacred teachings.
Approximately 700 years later, Rudranaad Baba, through divine guidance, directed Rudraraj to spread his teachings worldwide. This marked the resurgence of our lineage, poised to illuminate the path of seekers globally.
Our lineage has made significant contributions to the realms of Yoga, Tantra (Vigyanbhairav Tantra), Alchemy, Mantra Shastra, Agamas, Dhrupad Music, and Bhakti Marg. Rudranaad Foundation stands as a torchbearer of this sacred legacy, committed to preserving and disseminating the timeless wisdom passed down through generations.
In the year 2019, Rudraraj was blessed with the darshan of Shri Mahavatar Babaji on the banks of river Ganga at Banaras. He was then instructed to live a life of Rajayogi and spread the knowledge of Kriya Yog.
Rudraraj has been instructed to spread the knowledge of Kriya Yog and Rudra Sanatan Parampara to mankind free of cost. Since then, inspired by his Guru's wishes, Rudraraj has been working towards this noble purpose.
