Hotter than the raging SUN

Dear Seekers of Truth You may think that proximity to a powerful Avadhoota like Atmananda meant that we got to discuss deeper levels of spirituality all the time. On the contrary, we hardly spoke spiritual matters. I found the same when Atmananda met other powerful masters. They discussed nothing – literally nothing spiritual. To me, … Continue reading Hotter than the raging SUN

In the safe hands of an Avadhoota

Whatever I write below, has been personally read and approved by Avadhoota Nadananda. Flight was late. I reached Delhi from London on 25th of July. Heavy traffic. It took literally ages to reach Gurgaon. I had to attend a short program before leaving for the airport again. I quickly brushed and washed up. Since there … Continue reading In the safe hands of an Avadhoota

A Day in Shirdi with an Avadhoota

I opened the curtain of my room at Hotel Jivanta, a fresh new hotel in Shirdi. Probably I am the first guest in that room. I am here for the inauguration of Madhuban Restaurant as well as Ahimsa Vegan Restaurant. Dawn is breaking. I am late to rise. I was late to go to bed … Continue reading A Day in Shirdi with an Avadhoota

Born from FIRE

Atmananda Chaithanya was taking bath in a river with disciples. Standing completely naked facing the river, he was washing his few terrestrial possessions – a loincloth and a towel like cloth. He had nothing beyond that apart from a vessel and a small cloth bag. He usually tied the cloth around his waist. One of … Continue reading Born from FIRE

Babaji – Beyond Definitions – Part 3

Those who have 'eyes' will 'see'. Others will not, because they have chosen 'blindness.' In the real world, there is nothing to prove, if one exists beyond ego. There is no one higher or lower. There is no one better or lesser. All are equal. Just like in earthly life, spiritual life depends on the baggage … Continue reading Babaji – Beyond Definitions – Part 3

Babaji – Beyond Definitions – Part 1

Dear Friends, This is my humble attempt to express in words a phenomenon which is truly indescribable. Mahavatar Babaji is not a man or just a Guru. He is a phenomenon. Even the name Babaji, which is commonly used in India to address many spiritual Masters, cannot ever explain or convey the phenomenon that we call … Continue reading Babaji – Beyond Definitions – Part 1

Great Masters – Shirdi Sai Baba – Part 2

Sai Baba lived a simple life, in a dilapidated mosque. He used the same set of clothes till it became obscenely torn and useless. He never cared for fancy clothes, which was always available, as his popularity rose. Many people brought many goodies to Baba. He immediately distributed them to who ever was around at … Continue reading Great Masters – Shirdi Sai Baba – Part 2

Words cannot justifiably … Continue reading Great Masters – Shirdi Sai Baba
