About 5 years back I had an Intense Urge to know “who am I”, which brought me to shelter of Swami varu & Shangrila. At the same occasion - I met Sree Lalitananda Natha & instantly I had the feeling that “He is my Guru”. From that day my life changed multi-folded & still evolving for better. It’s divine blessing to have Siddha guru’s presence in life. I cannot express everything with limited faculty of language but I am making a humble effort to share few things.

Few years back, life presented me with hardship when I lost job during the pandemic while I was on H1B Visa. For immigration purposes I needed to get back same title, same employer & within notice period. There was an opportunity but delays/obstacles were coming at every small step. Feeling of “why me” made me sleepless & things were out of my control. At that point – guruvu garu initiated me with the mantram during a visit. I did what he told me with full faith & things started falling into place & on 10th day I signed the offer letter for the desired job with desired start date and within desired notice period. He mentioned it’s Amma varu & Swami varu’s krupa. There was insecurity about immigration & finally I requested guruvu Garu’s help with Prayojana homam. He performed the prayojana homam in Shangrila and instructed me with a procedure. I did it with full faith & on 11th day my immigration got expedited which was stuck for 7 months. In next few months I received the result.

About a year back I had a surgery due to a long running health issue & multiple emergencies. I was in excruciating pain. I recovered with Divine blessings & Guru’s “Karuna”. I was blessed with Guru’s presence all through. He mentioned that this was due to past karma phalam & he had prayed divine mother. His words about “karma phalam” instantaneously switched me to a 3rd person’s perspective about my own suffering and it tremendously helped in recovery.

Swami varu, Mataji varu & Guruvu garu’s grace is very beautiful, affectionate & very very kind. That grace motivates, drives, corrects & strengthens the resolve that “i need to be better”. Guru’s words & actions are teaching in themselves and provide references when in doubt. He shows us how to live in balance both materialistically & spiritually and more importantly “being practical”. Siddha gurus have a vision for “Center of Excellence for Sanathana Dharmam in USA” (Shangrila) which will inspire next many generations to come. Guru’s Karuna is so profound that every cell in the body reverberates with gratitude!!

Vijayam to Sanathana Dharmam

Vijayam to Siddha guru parampara

Vijayam to Sree Devi Peetham & Shangrila

My humble reverences to lotus feet of Swami varu, Mataji varu & Guruvu garu🙏
