Devi Sanketa: Destiny woven by Grace: Feb 14-2025 was a perfect culmination of last year, the year that marked the foundation of Srividya Maha Samsthana. This will mark a fresh start for many people in many locations, across nations. All the hard work, and planning transpired behind the scenes, including the 10 days of Mouna just before laying the foundation stone of this great Srividya Maha Samsthana. It was indeed the decision of the Universe planned by DEVI herself 30 years ago. How else can one comprehend, that a 18*18 Mahalakshmi Yantra, the same size as the Maha Meru installed here at the Srividya Maha Samthana a year back, would miraculously find its way to the Samsthana just right before Srividya Maha Samsthana's first Anniversary.For the past one year, Samsthana has been performing Homas every month. The Sanctum Sanctorum has been energized with Pratyangira on every Amavasya, Chandi Homa on Ashtami, Srividya Navavarna Pooja, and Havana every month without fail.

Shrilakshmi (Lakshmyaba-Deekshanama)

Srividya Maha Samsthana is the place where more than 1000's of uninterrupted Jnana Yagnas were held. In particular, during Goupya Navaratri, stay at Prayagaraj during Mahakumba was sacred and divine, it was a very unique experience, to live in a Hermit much like the age old tradition in Ancient India. Annadhaanam was offered to the great saints, revered Mandaleshwars, Sadhus, and Sadvis by the Sishyas and followers of Guruji. This was followed by 20 days of Yaaga Yagna of Maa Matangi, Dasha Mahavidhya Homa, and Chandi Homa. It was truly a beautiful encounter and divine intervention at play, when Swayam Naga Devatha arrived and bestowed her blessings after worshiping the sand brought from Rameshwaram. With the blessings from the entire Gurumandala, the temple tour to Ayodhya and Kashi is a prime illustration of DEVI's action plan for the Samsthana.

We are extremely fortunate to be associated with this great lineage starting right from Vidyaranyaru of the Vijayanagar empire (whose Guru Sri.Vidhyashankararu's Samadhi is in Sringeri) to the recent discovery of a vertical of the Guhananda Mandali in Kashi. On another note, a visit to the Chakreshwara linga, Samadhi of the Sri Chidambaranatha Yogi, preceptor(Guru,Mentor) of Shri.Muthuswami Dikshitar, who attained Samadhi at Varanasi (Kasi) is a testimony to the Guru-Sishya Parampara. Dikshitar stayed here for eight years, offering worship at the Jeeva Samadhi of his Guru, it was a take away for me, highlighting the age-old Guru-Shisha Sambhanda, that which can ONLY & only be experienced and not through reading books on spirituality.

Adding to the list of many coincidences or should I say divine will, the surprise media house visit without an invite, LIVE telecast of the Anniversary events on a channel, launch of the Srividya Maha Samsthana website coincided with the first anniversary i.e Feb14th - 2025.

Am immensly blessed to have Shri.Atmanandaru as my Guru who transformed me for what I am today & gave me the Ankitha nama of Guha.I find no words in the dictionary that can adequately convey my greatest regards for him. It was the rarest of the rarest opportunity & blessings by the divine to be with him along with my family on many important dates. That too all three in Prayaaga Mahakumba.

Through the eyes of Guha & Guru Guha, hoping that, one day, I can explain & write about the great mystery of the Guru-Shisya Sambhanda
