Living with Siva is a unique daily devotional which guides the aspirant who wishes to take the essential first steps on the spiritual path. This includes systematic principles of self-discipline known in traditional Hinduism as the yamas and niyamas. Once dynamically applied the lessons bring order and rectitude into our lives establishing a firm foundation for successful spiritual life, meditation and eventual deep realization.

Gurudeva addresses frankly the problematic areas of modern living and offers sound, proven advice based on his 50 years of ministry. The 365 daily lessons include spiritual rules "for the lion-hearted" on God, worship, marriage and family life, money, sex, child-rearing, nonviolence and tolerance, forgiveness, hospitality, karma, nature and more.
