Having run my website with love and diligence these last couple of decades, at the age of 78 it is now time for me to bid farewell. So I will no longer be accepting new orders. However, the website will remain open for some months to offer information for those who are interested.

For Buddhists he is one of the eighty-four Mahasiddhas, and for the Hindus he is recognized as one of the nine great Shaivite 'Nath Siddhas', and also as a preceptor of the Hatha Yoga traditions. In his Indian Buddhist legend he is identified as a siddha from the Chamba region of the west Himalayan foothills who possessed the ability to turn people into stone through the power of his gaze. He is depicted here flying in sexual union with his consort, as he leaps across a Himalayan river gorge.
