A Journey of Transformation: The Profound Impact of Our Revered Gurus

Our Reverent Gurus, Respected Swami Surdarshanacharyaji Maharaj and Respected Swami Purshottamacharyaji Maharaj, have showered us with unconditional love and profoundly impacted our lives. Their presence has brought countless miracles, both spiritually and materially, altering our lives with purpose, meaning, and deep fulfillment.

Our first encounter with Guruji was in 1993. Since then, our regular family trips to the Ashram have enlightened us and our children, changing our vision towards life, helping us think positively, and overcoming peer pressure. Guruji’s immense love towards our children taught them to imbibe good human, social, and spiritual values.

Guruji provides us with the tools and mechanisms to face life’s challenges, helping us understand the purpose of our personal challenges and leading us towards spiritual upliftment. He has guided us from the “UNREAL” to the “REAL,” changing our vision and perspective towards the spiritual world. With Guruji’s Grace, challenges have come only to bind us closer to Guruji and teach us to surrender at his Lotus Feet. His presence is felt all around us.

Our families raised us with ritualistic practices, and performing Pujas and Havans was never in question. However, looking back, those prayers are now evidence of a response from the Lord, who bestowed upon us a “GURU” in 1995 to lead us to the path of salvation.

Self-Realization is the only purpose that resides in NAAM. It is our good fortune that our family members received NAAM Daan individually in 1999, 2006, and 2007 from Guruji. Today, our family experiences the power of NAAM, and it has reshaped our lives profoundly. Guruji’s Ashram is “Heaven On Earth.” In my personal experience, I felt the presence of the Lord, and my prayers were both heard and answered.

Our once turbulent life soon became filled with profound strength and fearlessness. Guruji’s Grace lifted us to enjoy the ‘higher taste’ and essence of spiritual practice. I can still remember the time when Guruji opened his arms to us and let us ‘IN.’

Guruji has emphasized that the TRUTH is emanated from Satsang. We are blessed to have many opportunities to listen to ‘spiritual gems’ directly from the messenger of God. As followers of Guruji for 19 years, our whole Mahtani family’s lives have transformed like the metamorphosis of a butterfly. Where would we be without Guruji? As we light the incense or candle in our daily prayers, we can only ask for HIM.
