ABOUT ME

My name is RAVI and I live in Chennai, India. 

This site is exclusively devoted to the world of Spirituality. You can find in this site, discussions, interpretations and analysis of some of the Great Indian Scriptures. The list of Scriptures can be found under TOPICS. Previous months’ posts can be found under “Blog archive”. Both these menus are available in the sidebar. This site also deals with Advaita philosophy (non-dualism) and basics of Trika philosophy. It is sincerely believed that contents of this site will provide the visitors the much needed impetus, so as to enable them to elevate to higher realms of spiritual world.

I was initiated into Śakti worship by my Guru in the year 2003. I have completed several thousand recitations of Mahā Ṣoḍaśī mantra and completed the prescribed puraścaraṇa. It was my Guru, who made me to pursue the ritualistic path and later made me to follow the path of Self-realization. He continuously explained to me, the intricacies of Upaniṣads and gave me spiritual teachings, for an extensive period of six months. He passed away in the year 2007 at the age of 90 plus. He always held me very close to his heart. I owe my allegiance to him, as I was extremely blessed in having a Guru of his stature.

MY GURUJI

After his passing away, I was cherishing his memories. But there was an urge within me to move further in spiritual path. I was searching for another Guru to take me forward. I was with a few gurus for various period of time after 2007. Since I was not getting the desired satisfaction, I moved away from all of them. I studied extensively and began this site in the year 2008 and started writing seriously from the year 2009. When I was in confusion to interpret a particular word, or a verse, Divine Mother always helped and guided me in interpretation.

As a part of service to spiritual aspirants, I occasionally initiate people into the right mantra that is suitable for them. After initiation I consistently follow up with them till they attain the desired level. Most of the initiations are done through electronic media such as Skype and phones. Though this is not appropriate method of initiation, we have to necessarily depend upon electronic media due to time and distance.  However, I never liked to be called as a teacher or a Guru, as I always believe, that God alone is the Supreme Guru.  All my services are freely available and no monetary gain is involved at any point of time. I firmly believe that, spiritual knowledge and mantra initiations cannot be sold for a price. They are not commodities. They are priceless and if price is determined and paid, it affects both the initiator and the initiated seriously. However, mantra initiation cannot be done to someone, whose face is not known. Mantra initiation is not just sending a mail or initiating over phone. The power of mantra needs to be transferred to the aspirant in the form of a seed, which the aspirant has to nurture and infuse potency to get the best possible results. Results are always not the same for everyone.  It purely depends upon one’s faith and sādhana (practice). Personally, I do not encourage aspirants to spend much time in lengthy rituals as I sincerely believe that one should attain liberation in this birth itself.
