His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda is a Himalayan siddha monk, who hails from unbroken lineages of the combined heritage of rishi sages and nath meditation adepts. He has directly learnt the Himalayan Kriyayoga meditation system from Tryambaknāth, (popularly known as Mahavatar Babaji) who is a deathless Himalayan siddha who has since relocated to Dhruvaloka during October 2015, after staying nearly 2000 years on earth.

Currently, His Holiness is developing Sambhala Online University based on the teachings from Jñanā-gañja, a siddha enclave located in Tibet, east of Limpiadhura Pass bordering India.

He is among the very few adepts outside of India who has been awarded the degree of DLitt et Phil (Mahāmahopādhyāya) by the erstwhile President of the Association of Indian Universities and by the Sanskrit scholars of Calcutta, India.
