I am literary grateful that today I finally got little place where I could stand and reveal many amusing things to the world about the ever most reverential lineage of my masters and mentors.

It is pretty much usual that I should speak about myself and my achievements in spirituality that would attract or inspire more people to this fabulous site, but that could only happen if I literary have achieved something concrete that I would love to show the entire world like a little child earned some gems and jewels and became so proud about it. So I decide to use this space very wisely and instead talk about my foolish attempts of rising and falling on the path of attainment, I better speak about those great masters who have always been there for me.

यस्य नि:श्वसितं वेदा यो  वेदेभ्योअखिलं जगत:

निर्ममे तमहं वंदे विद्यातीर्थं महेश्वरम् ।।

“I bow to Lord Maheshwara, who himself is holy abode of all the divine and sacred knowledge. Even the Vedas, the first sacred scriptures are his mere exhalation that enlightens the entire world with its divine contexts.”

Bhagwan AmrutMaheshwar

I always felt a special bond and connection with Lord Shiva since I was a mere little child. The connection that I cannot explain even today properly, neither put in words, but know deep somewhere in heart that my soul is slave of Lord Shiva. No matter what life I have lived till date- a mundane or the devoted one- a sacred thread always exists there that has entangled my mind, heart and soul with Lord Shiva. Devadhideva Mahadeva is the sole proprietor.. owner.. possessor of my existence, an attributor of everything good I have earned in my entire life. He is not only my benefactor but the first glimpse of sun filled with hope and admiration, the craving my soul has rewarded with.. the harbor, where my soul always anchored to, amidst all hardships of life…

तव तत्वं न जानामि, कीद्शोसि महेश्वर।

याद्शोसि महादेव ताद्शाय नमो नम:।।

Lord Dattatreya said to be the incarnation of Primal Trinity of Hindu Scripture that is Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. He was born as a third son of Sage Atri and a Great Scholar of her time Devi Ansuya, therefore also revered as a Attreya too, literary means a son of Atri.

It is said that he born in today’s Nepal region but equally worshipped in India, Nepal, some Tibetan regions and in many parts of the world as the first initiator of Kriya Yoga. He initiated the Natha Clan, the ascetic path of wandering monks who have compiled the scattered knowledge of Yoga, Philosophy, Veda, Vedant, Upnishadas, Bhakti, Tantra and modified them in simplest language so it reaches to the last person of the society and even the illiterate person can also attain the liberation or gain normal pleasures of life. Today, whichever knowledge exists in entire world about Yoga, Darshan, Tantra or any other Ancient Indian Philosophical disciplines belongs to Lord Dattatreya and his great disciples who spread his preaches in entire world.

The intellect, logic, intuition or the devotion that I able to cultivate a little in my life, is dedicated to Lord Dattatreya only who was pre-defined Master of my late father. I saw my father worshipping Lord Datta with great dedication and that always made me curios about him. Gradually, when I became fortunate enough to get a glance of illumination about the Great Guru, that one ray of knowledge was also enough to burn my compiled  heap of ignorance that I have feigned since my countless past births.

Lord Dattatreya – the Master of Benevolence, Mercy and Grace

His grace has no limit..

His boons are endless..

His mercy never differentiates..

His benevolence never discriminates..

He is there to hold us up. .when we are at fathomless bottom..

He always leverage us.. Takes us to the highest parts of divinity..

That’s why Lord Dattatreya has earned the title – “ स्मर्तृगामि सनोवतु ” = Literary meaning “The  Lord who responds instantly when thought of!”

Swami ChidKulaAnandJi

Meeting him was Accidental…

Knowing him was Coincidental..

Getting him was Circumstantial…

Unite with him is Identical.

This is the progress every soul has to come across when it destined to meet its predestined master. The same happened with me. Unfortunately I lost the chance to get direct initiation under his divine presence when I first met him in Girinar Kshetra, Junagadh. I realized it quite late, and there was no way to turn around the time and urge the great master to dispel the illusion that has blinded my vision.

Our meeting was mere an accident, a coincident or a chosen incident, who am I to define that or judge that? But I still remember, how my rational mind and logical brain colluded together that I almost mocked him when he uttered his given Sanyasa name to me.. I was so full of myself, quite ignorant and of course skeptical at that time because my education and my modern way of living made me to live and think that way. When we were about to parted our ways..

“Everyone has different course and time of understanding.

It’s a chosen destiny of every individual what they would learn and when…”

Only two sentences were spoken in local dialect thrown in our direction before returned to his gazing ritual at the setting sun while leaning lazily on the rough steps of the sacred mountain. The words struck in my heart like a spear, but I chose to ignore it deliberately or may it was my real destiny that hasn’t evoked till that moment.

Nothing remained as it was after that meeting, but I was too foolish to recognize that. Slowly, but steadily my interest has grown toward the true spirituality. Albeit, my mundane brain had always dragged me toward the worldly pleasures. The baseless assumptions and false pride of being above average intelligent that I have nurtured deep in my heart somewhere, eventually started getting diminish as if snowflakes melt in the presence of the warm sun light.

The second meeting with Swamiji was again unplanned – for me at least- and pretty surprising.., but this time my heart was little sincere so I decided to be a good listener, rather a good absorber of his compassion. Rest is history. I am not going to utter much about his divinity, but suffice to say, Swamiji is in direct lineage of Bhagwan Sadashiva’s own established Kaul Parampara and as other Siddha and Sanyasi referred him with great reverence; he is indeed the epitome of grace, compassion and love.

I hardly met him twice in last 16 years, if chronologically I count, but his guidance, his spiritual discourses and his unconventional ways to meddle in someone’s business are truly incredible. Swamiji according to some sages in Girinar Kshetra, is very mysterious personality. Indeed he is. He never taught me anything specific as his disciple; neither initiated me toward any Sadhna or worshipping path directly. He never supported me when I was meeting my doom, neither clapped for me when I have cracked any new cryptic or mystery. He is just there. Calm.. Composed.. Serene.. but I admit today wholeheartedly that…

The ShriTvam is the tree…

He sowed the seed of which years before..

I like to dedicate this humble effort of mine at your lotus feet..

My Destined Master…
