g time devotee inspired by an inner call from Babaji Shivananda, was urged to write a unique and divine NAMA SMARANAVALI, during April 2018. Any aspirant reading it (currently only a Hindi version available) will have a holy experience to chant the unique name of Shiv Avatar 108 times.

During the course of compiling this NAMA SMARANAVALI, the devotee had a query about the divine name this should be dedicated to i.e Shivananda, Shivswami or Prema Shiva. Babaji lovingly replied to him – address me as SHIV BABA. The devotee was further taken into bliss when Babaji said this name belongs to none other than Shankara-Lord Shiva and that He(Babaji) is none other than Lord Shankara! Yes, verily some people address him as Sri Shivananda / Shivswami / Prema Shiva or Babaji and indeed, He is Lord Shankara in human form. Om Namah Sivaya!
