Biography
When he was 10 years old his family moved to Milan. In 1979 he moved to Toscany, Ribolla where he has since lived.[1]
Meeting with Sant Kirpal Singh
At the age of 19 he had a spiritual awakening, after which time he started an intense practice of Yoga and meditation. The following spring, in 1973, he travelled to India in the hope of finding a Master who could both help him and be his support in this spiritual quest.
Not long after Sirio arrived in India, he met Sant Kirpal Singh from Delhi in Whom he recognized a spiritual Adept and Master. On the 25th of April 1973, Sirio was initiated[2] personally by the Great Master into the Path of Surat Shabd Yoga. After this event, he spent two years in daily meditation.
Upon Kirpal's passing in 1977, he became the Italian representative of Sant Ajaib Singh. Obeying to the orders of Sant Ajaib Singh, Sirio founded the Sant Bani Ashram in Ribolla in 1979.
