Many times when I was searching for spiritual path I used to think that I can choose the path. Slowly it begin to dawn to me that god chooses the sadhana for people. He puts them in the circumstances with out their awareness and make them perform for it. I call it being kissed by god. My whole family problem became my sadhana point. I discovered metta due to the fights in the family. My family was so disturbed that we use to fight every two hours. Now I can say that fighting level dropped due to this sadhana and god’s grace. My family has become peaceful.

The discovery of kalachakra happened in blistering pace due to the urgent need to have child. My astrology level went in to another level. I met my guru sensei kirtie at the age of 18 and never felt I need to search for guru any were. Somehow I got stuck to him. He sent me to other teacher to check him. I went to sahaja marag and met even raja gopalachari i never felt any need to search beyond him. It is like love at first sight. you know one has arrived. But of course I come from orthodox Brahmin back ground whereas my teacher is tantric by approach.

The entire thing is about his level of meditatative stamina. He can do meditation for days together and easily 10 – 14 hours. So it is the god who chooses the sadhana. I have seen many spiritual seekers searching for a path or a spiritual master. When the problem presents itself then it is the sadhana they have to master .

I know a pretty lady who comes from healing circle. She actually is very healthy. she has marriage problems which is really her sadhana and her sex life has tantric proportions. She is not even aware of it.

I know a lady who was love with a man ,had sex and marriage also got fixed. Suddenly the boy does not want to get married to her. The reason being he has fallen in love with someone. She has to learn on tantric way of living life like a dakini and knows very well that her even if she gets married to this man she has to face emotional turmoil and an insecure marriage.

I know a man who is married and has two girl kids. He lives in a foreign land. The main problem being he has cancer. His sadhana is on health and healing. He does not consider himself as a saint or even as a spiritual seeker. He has never learnt any healing method. I know a elderly man who has bitter difference with the brother . His sadhana is being peaceful with his family members. These family scars or problems are the spiritual calling waiting to be taken. Many people want a great destiny to serve mass of people without realizing with their level of energy that they have been given perfect sadhana.

I have seen many people who have met the guru at a very early or before 30. Some kind of guide or elderly people helps them. They did not choose life and circumstance but happen to get them in their life. There is a Sufi saying that when a student is ready teacher appears, which is very true. When we are sincere with our intention then the guru appears.

My teacher sensei kirtie told me “one who hurts most is your guru, were you fear or feel hurt learn to release them. That is the spiritual point. My student jayashree used to say ” you make even ordinary situation as sadhana . For us we never imagined that travelling in vehicle can be used to bless people. Conducting family function can be seen as a spiritual affairs or seeing movie song as shiva shakthi dance”. This is due to my guru grace and seeing him for many years who always lived by his words and never to run away from life but face it head on. He used to say to me that “I never should regret that I have not searched god enough. God should feel that i was too sincere in my search .

Another time he told me ” I can even embrace death. Just that by dying I can see god I will do so”. Such is a seeker.

May it purify every one’s mind who ever reads the articles.
May these words be not destroyed by this force of the time.
May I pray to all great holy master to bless these words to be passed on like candle from one mind to another.
