The Science of Thought

Khaptad Swami, died on May 9, 1996, allegedly at the age of 130. As a hermit, the Himalaya attracted him. He traveled throughout, from Kashmir to Meghalaya. But Khaptad Plateau of Far-Western Nepal attracted him most and he was pulled by the magical charm of this land of pre-historic Yakshyas and Haptalite Sakas and Khashas. Very soon, after establishing his hermitage over a small cave, he realized that Khaptad Plateau was the centre of past civilization (of the Mahabharata period ) and an unfathomable storehouse of magical herbs. Khaptad Swami believed that Khaptad was the most suitable place in the earth to practice Yoga and Meditation. He said that if one is tired of processed food and allopathy, he should try to know his body, mind and soul and also get acquainted with Yoga and nature’s curative properties. Khapad Baba spent much of his life in meditation and contemplation and he describes some jewels of knowledge within this book.
