About వివరాలు
Dhyanam Master, Dhyanam naanna, Guruvugaaru, many names he is called. He is a modern day spiritual guru. The words Aatma, Paramaatma, Brahma, Parabrahma have no place in his vocabulary. He asks you to improve your personal effectiveness, take care of your health, do your individual duties first, then fulfill your family duties and later reach out to help the society. That is the core of his philosophy.
He is a relentless practitioner of ancient Indian kriya yoga. Even after his long practice of 35 years, he still spends most of his daily time in deep states of meditation or in his own words “being in the state of soonya”.
He has personally imparted kriya yoga training and initiated more than a lakh aspiring spiritual seekers into the fold of Kriya yoga. His goal for the rest of his life is to be a sanctuary for the scores of people who cannot handle the trials and tribulations of every day life.
