I write of Lord Shiva as He is — Yogi yet householder, supreme spiritual Guru yet Tribe chieftain, pure consciousness yet endearing lover of life. My books include The Yogi and the Snake, SHIVA: The Ultimate Time Traveller, Shiva Poetry, and The Shiva Scientist. For years I have sat with seekers in one-to-one guidance: first a short questionnaire, then a conversation. Some come for a single sitting. Some stay to study the Śiva Sūtras.
