A Yogi who dedicated his entire life to research and humanitarian good has passed away
Roberto Soldati but more easily known as
LakspatiNath
LakspatiNath was initiated in Puri, at the Samadhi of Sri Yukteswar in the school of Paramahansa Yogananda - Kriya Yoga. There he received the two main and original Kriya. For four months he lived in the Ashram, accompanied by Yogi Isvarananda, who introduced him to all mysticism and Sanatan Dharm.
This initiation created what became the foundation for all his personal further research.
A few years later he was involved in a serious accident, where he came close to death and was then in a coma for many days. This was the moment when he met astraly, the one who would later become his spiritual Master, who was also found in the physical experience several months later, once the long rehabilitation was over.
This Master was the head of a very ancient Ta***ic Yogic School. LakspatiNath served him for about 16 years where he was introduced to profound and difficult practices, following a very strict Sadhana, during which he fasted and drank only water for 5 years and where he studied and experienced the mastery of the sacred fire (Dhun), until the realization of the 5 elements.
Twelve years ago he had a vision from Babaji Nagaraja, where he was asked to break away from the Ta***ic Yogic School and transform it into a system of absolute purity, that of Advaita Vedanta, which in the ancient Ta***ic school of Goraksnath is regarded as the ultimate step to final realization.
To accomplish this important transformation, he was followed by an Astral Yogi. LakspatiNath was very comfortable in this new dimension and made incredible progress very quickly. The kriyas became automatic and guided, the Samadhis became longer and more frequent.
At this stage of his evolution, he devoted himself solely to the astral world, voluntarily loosing his connections with the physical world. This brought him to a stage of advancement where any human situation, past, present, or future, could be understood, even long before it was exposed to him. For this LakspatiNath was of great help and much sought after by those who knew him and those close to him.
For many years he brought the ancient way of Yoga to Europe, yoga in its integral form brings people to purify their heart, going into observance of once inner dimensions, studying the Sanatan Dharm, the basic evident rules that make up this planet.
He passed on his knowledge in an antique way, being conscious about European mentality, so he was able to create a system to bring the yoga in its essence to European Culture without distorting the content.
In the European world one does not find, or almost does not find, characters of this caliber, characters who devote themselves entirely to a purely Yogic system of living, where every limit must be crossed, where the barriers created by the ego must be broken and crossed. This requires immense willpower and pure Faith.
These were his strengths until his last breath, maintaining the fire of perseverance and passion for the eternal pursuit of Self-realization and the Divine.
He always maintained that the incarnation of a human being, the action of receiving a body, is a grace received from the Divine. It is an important and rewarding experience and it is up to all of us to strive to utilize this opportunity and make this incarnation a valuable experience where the ultimate goal is to realize and establish unity with the universe, purifying all one's energy centers and the 3 main nodes (granthi), and then finally being able to free oneself and consolidate into Brahmarandra (above the crown of the head).
Being able to meditate in Brahmarandra brings absolute Peace and infinite Joy.
LakspatiNath wishes all seekers to find the passion for the quest and the strength to become constant in their practices so as to break through the limitations to attain ultimate freedom in Nirvikalpasamadhi.
And so it was, that with his last breath he did not come out of his mouth but rather created a loop and the last exhalation came directly out of the Sahasrar.
In doing so, LakspatiNath realized videha mukt, and entered the abode of the saints forever.
On 26th of May 2025, we organize a Bhandara for his commemoration. Who wish to join can write directly to Prem: info@vivavita.ch
