About Siddhaguru

I was attracted to spirituality at a very young age. My spiritual journey began at the age of 9, by worshipping Goddess Kanaka Durga. When I was 14, I lost my Mother. I was unable to come out of the affection on her and used to visit her tomb every day. Out of my affection, I offered pooja to her tomb for 3 years. Every day I went, I used to see craniums beside her tomb implying “Whosoever may be, the final destination of anyone is cemetery.” My Mimamsa of philosophy started at the age of 20, when I was pursuing Mechanical Engineering. Whenever I opened the books, my inner soul used to question me, “Is this the purpose of existence of human life? “My mind used to revolve around the objects of God’s creation rather being conscious about my worldly life. In 1994, I went to Tirupathi to have an auspicious darshan of Lord Venkateswara. When I stepped into the sanctum of temple, a hymn “Om Namah Shivaya” entered my ears and made me experience the unknown consciousness. I started chanting this hymn and in no time reached the state of “Mantrasiddhi”- a state where the External Conscious mind chants the hymn with Inner Consciousness.
