About Us
Shiva–Shakti Peetam is a sacred space for real inner work – a meeting point between the ancient and the living, the mystical and the human.
It was founded by Sri Satchithananda Natha, under the divine instruction of Sri Dattatreya, with a clear mission: to make authentic, life-changing spiritual wisdom accessible to all, regardless of background, belief, or financial means.
The teachings emerge from the stillness of Shiva and the life-force of Shakti, combining discipline with softness, fire with grace. At every stage, the work is real: purification, devotion, inner stability, and awakening. Nothing is offered as empty ritual. Everything is given with meaning, presence, and power.
This is not a lineage-bound tradition. It is a living current of divine instruction, brought into form by a Guru who walks with sincerity, groundedness, and depth. All deekshas are given directly by Sri Satchithananda, and personal access is part of the path. Every student is seen, not as a follower, but as a soul with the potential to awaken fully.
Shiva–Shakti Peetam is entirely donation based, so that no one is ever turned away. It is primarily an online school, making its wisdom and energy available to seekers across the world, without the limits of geography or proximity. You do not need to live near a master to walk a real path. You simply need to be ready.
While the Peetam currently functions as a virtual sanctuary, it is deeply embodied. A physical ashram may unfold in the future, but for now, each sincere student becomes the temple.
This is not an organization. This is a fire that spreads soul to soul.
About the Guru
Sri Satchithananda Natha
Sri Satchithananda Natha, the founder of Shiva-Shakti Peetam, is a rare spiritual teacher whose path was not inherited through lineage but revealed through direct divine instruction. His journey began before birth, receiving Gayatri initiation in the womb, and continued through childhood with guidance from a prolific Gayatri Siddhar.
In his teenage years, he trained under a Shakti Upasaka, deepening his spiritual discipline and devotion. The turning point in his path came with the living presence of Goddess Varahi and later, direct guidance from Sri Dattatreya, which laid the foundation of Shiva–Shakti Sadhana.
Through intense solitude and tapas in the mountains of Sri Lanka, his mission became clear: to create a powerful, structured path for sincere seekers. Today, Sri Satchithananda personally guides each student, offering mantra deeksha and direct access, making Shiva–Shakti Sadhana an embodied wisdom rooted in divine grace and deep realization.
He reminds us that spirituality is not separate from life - it is life, lived with awareness, joy, and love.
Through him, the Divine returned to me as love, not fear.
