	Yogaswami - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jnanaguru Yogaswami of Jaffna was Sri Lanka's most renowned contemporary spiritual master (1872-1964), a Śivajnani and a natha siddhar revered by both Hindus and Buddhists.
		Yogaswami was trained in and practiced kundalini yoga under the guidance of Satguru Chellappaswami, from whom he received guru diksha (initiation).
		Sage Yogaswami was in turn the Satguru of Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, subsequent preceptor of Nandinatha Sampradaya's Kailasa Parampara.

	Homage to Yogaswami
		Yogaswami could not help doing that for he was merely reacting to the hidden sexual imagery in the unconscious mind of that recluse.
		Yogaswami lived in a tiny hut that had been specially constructed for him in the garden of a home in the city of Jaffna.
		In situations of this kind Yogaswami's strictures did not appear to originate from his pedagogic role of a guru or spiritual teacher as many of his disciples would probably have supposed, but were rather the casual and incidental remarks of someone who was deeply moved by human folly.

		In the decade of the 1960's, when Yogaswami passed from this life, when the Eagle landed on the moon and when the Gaia Hypothesis was being formulated, the global generic perspective of humanity was just beginning to become known to its peoples though the emergence of technology.

	Yoga Swami the Image-Breaker
		Among Yogaswami's admirers and devotees, Sam Wickramasinghe is exceptional, not only because he is Sinhalese by birth, but because he spent years among other devotees (in Kathirkamam) and in solitude (at Guru Madam, Kayts) endeavoring to penetrate into deeper and deeper levels of Yogaswami's multi-leveled deeds and utterances.
		But to a few, perhaps a handful -- the writer knew of a group among whom were three foreigners, two Singhalese and two Tamils: a mixed bag of Christians, Hindus and Buddhists - he was a different personality, or rather a 'no-personality.' To them he stood beyond all classification, a living paradox in mortal flesh.
		This was the Yogaswami these few saw, always seeing and living in the unifying cradle seat of life from which all the differentiations and divisions accruing from the ego-force of actor, acting and action.
