i think the idea of giving a person the value of god is just wrong....one may be enlightened but does not mean he is god.....the way people give him jal in the video clearly shows that they take him as being lord shiva....he is not....he is just a devotee ...who over years of meditation has realised the values of life....and teachings of the lord....he is not god himself.....
no man canbe god...no men...
this comment is not in any way biased to shivabalayogi...
Your view -- that we should not deify humans -- is fair and a healthy attitude. A risk with deifying people is that we give away our own power and responsibility for ourselves.
Swamiji himself insisted that he was not God only an agent of God.
In my own opinion, any kind of characterization of a yogi is limited. If you read about yogis, including Shivabalayogi, you get a sense that ordinary reality is a little distorted around them. It's unfathomable.
right..but many are revered as Godly..thats the difference..yes, i too was quite disturbed with the turmeric jal aka water.. Saints i have come across revealed that they actually do not want anything..it is the behaviour of the society..which the saints uniformly say 'it is better to leave them as themselves than trying to change anything or anybody..' this does not and should not mean 'we can continue to behave unconditioned' lets grow up and behave..or in other words try to BE Godly ourselves
Swamiji sometimes used Sage Vasishta as an example of a yogi who accepted lavish treatment from devotees in order to let the devotees be pleased, but didn't let it get to him. Vasishta was the king's guru. When the king called for Vasishta, the sage was showered with finery and accompanied by a royal parade to the palace. Once the visit was done, and Vasishta was similarly returned to his forest hermitage, the yogi put his simple clothes back on and returned to ashram life.
In stillness all is God. You are right to say giving another the value of God is wrong, until you experience God within yourself as your Self. Then you can't help but to see everything and everyone as God. A carpenter builds with wood and nails, what material does God use to create form other than His/her own Being?
In Swamiji's case, it's a gift without any obligation on the recipient. It's the passing of power, a physical connection with one who is Self realized -- a link to our own true Self.
It's a connection with the Self that, for example, allows us to concentrate better for meditation.
It's important to know that the Self never forces anything we do not want.
It's a quote from the ancient Nadis. While on a level beyond the mind's comprehension, there is no time and space, most of us understand watches and maps.
There are more and longer Shivabalayogi programs posted on Google, and of course, full DVD programs at the Handloom website. Shivabalayogi is an unusual yogi in many ways: the intensity of his 12-year tapas; his extensive travels; his liberal gifts of initiation and bhava; and the public documentation (written, photo & video) of his life.

there is no god -shiva, linga as a meditation module is diverted as shiva.the frontier moola of mankind.
when they attain paramathma or the salvation thru kundalini and deep meditation -they are next to the divine-
