Yes, I've seen Sri Siva a few times. He comes from the Tamil Siddhas of southern India and he introduced Wayne Dyer to the basic manifestation mantras. The Tamil Siddhas of Southern India are highly advanced and have the knowledge to materialize objects out of thin air. (Now if we could just learn how to do that

)
In previous incarnations, Sri Siva was:
"(1) Agastya, the foremost Siddha and author of the Tamil language, as well as countless texts on astrology, alchemy, mantras, sastras, and medicine;
(2) Bhismacharya, a well-respected teacher of martial arts during the period of the epic Mahabharata;
(3) Manikavacakar, an illustrious Tamil Saint who wrote several masterpieces of devotional lyrics on Lord Siva before dissolving into light and;
(4) Swami Ramalingam (Vallalar) - an enlightened Indian saint in southern India who was graced with a light body and continued teaching until 1874 when he dissolved completely into light."
"Agastya was a teacher of Babaji" Babaji was made known to the world by Paramhansa Yogananda in "Autobiography of a Yogi." Marshall Govindan has written about these yogic saints in his book "Babaji and the 18 Siddha Kriya Yoga Tradition." Sri Siva's special siddhi is the burning of karma. Sri Siva has the energy of Lord Shiva (as in avatar).
Most readers may not resonate at this LoC level so YMMV.
