Long before the COVID years, I carried within me a vision of a spiritual guide. I searched for this presence for a long time, holding onto the image of a mentor who would one day appear and lead me on the true path. When I discovered the Shiva–Shakti Sadhana program, it felt like a coincidence at first. Unsure of what it truly was, I reached out to Guruji with my questions. The warmth of his welcome, his gentle manner, and his soothing voice dissolved every doubt in me.

The first time I saw Guruji, even through a screen, I was left in awe. For a moment I could not believe my eyes. He was the exact image I had always carried in my mind and heart. Now, with complete trust, I have begun this journey under his guidance. I know without doubt that Guruji will walk with us every step of the way, leading us towards the ultimate goal.

My first meeting with Guruji felt like divine timing, something the universe had clearly orchestrated. As a lifelong spiritual seeker, I was always curious and eager to build a deeper spiritual life. Over the past 10 years, I’ve connected with many spiritual leaders, but none truly resonated with me personally. That’s where Guruji stood out. His perspectives, his lived experiences, and the way he speaks about various topics about life and spirituality felt deeply relatable and grounding. There were many limiting beliefs and rules that I had subconsciously built in my head that I have been re-wiring through my conversations with Guruji.

I’m truly grateful for Guruji and excited for what’s ahead on this path.

In a world where spirituality often feels outdated or disconnected from our modern lives, my guru stands as a powerful bridge between the ancient and the present. Young, vibrant, and deeply rooted in wisdom, he brings a fresh yet grounded approach to spiritual living that resonates with people of all ages and backgrounds. What sets him apart is not just his knowledge, but his remarkable attentiveness and flexibility. He doesn’t follow a one-size-fits-all path—instead, he tunes in to each student’s unique nature and needs, guiding us in a way that feels deeply personal and meaningful.

With all what is going on around us responsibilities commitments daily chores etc 24 hrs a day doesn’t seem enough to handle everything. To have some personal time to pursue our interests hobbies prayers and well being seemed impossible. From the time I started the Shiva Shakthi Sadhana everything gradually started to fall in place. The practice involving meditation, Mantra Chants, Mantra Japa and puja rituals help align your energies and gets properly channelled through your Chakras. Most importantly the teachings, guidance, beautiful way of communication, and the style presentation of Guruji (My Datta) makes it so much more enjoyable and the Sadhanas easily doable. Monthly Satsang discussions on interesting events coming up, rituals, simple practices which are reinforced is very helpful . Total access anytime to Guruji regarding anything important or trivial is simply amazing. I am ever so thankful to my Gurus and God for leading me to an approachable, knowledgeable and an amazing Guruji at the Shiva Shakthi Peetam.

I come from a non-Hindu background, yet I have been keen on understanding spirituality from different perspectives. Shiva Shakti Sadhana has provided me with deep insights into the essence and significance of Hinduism and its deities. Through this practice, I have had the privilege of experiencing the energy of certain deities firsthand, and in general, l have been able to be one with myself and notice and change a lot of things about myself. My guru, Sri Guru Satchithananda, has been an unwavering source of support throughout this course. He has patiently answered every question, no matter how detailed or intricate. His blessings and powers are evident, particularly in the way he embodies the qualities of his main deity, showing remarkable patience and kindness to all. His satsungs have given me immense knowledge on life in general. I wholeheartedly recommend this course and Guru to all seekers of truth and wisdom. However, this journey requires consistency, patience, respect, and karma to fully benefit from its transformative potential.
