When Swami Muktananda began to travel the world, bringing the Siddha Yoga teachings from India, he found the people in the West thirsty for the wisdom of the sages. As he traveled from place to place, people often asked, "How can I help with this work?" And so Baba often invited them to open chanting and meditation groups or meditation centres so that other people could learn about Siddha Yoga meditation.

In order to administer this growing Siddha Yoga mission in Australia, during his 1978 visit to Australia, Baba inspired the creation of the Siddha Yoga Foundation.

The goal of all the Foundation's efforts is to make the Siddha Yoga teachings easily available to seekers in Australia and neighbouring countries. The beneficial impact of this work is apparent in the number and types of projects it supports.

The Foundation conducts courses, Intensives and retreats, and trains teachers so that the Siddha Yoga teachings are available in many locations and it also oversees the administration of all centres and Ashrams(Melbourne and Sydney) in Australia.

Siddha Yoga Foundation Limited of Australia is a non-profit organisation, located in Melbourne. The Foundation has a Board of Trustees made up of long-time Siddha Yoga practitioners who continue the vision Baba had to provide a way for people who have been touched by the Siddha Yoga path to make the mission their own.
Siddha Yoga Foundation Limited of Australia owns, operates and maintains this website.
