Who can become a Spiritual Guru?

What is the process of becoming one? Is it possible to achieve this status without letting go of the ego? Does materialism precede spirituality? These are fundamental traits or questions that one should consider or be aware of.

A spiritual guru, teacher, or healer undergoes significant penance before uniting with the source or light.

How does one attain spiritual completion and be granted permission to become a Spiritual Teacher?

In one of recent video, I have discussed about a person having to give into dedication, discipline, time, research to be able to progress to become a guru. A spiritual guru or master (genderless) not only appears when one is seeking but it requires mutual trust and faith.

A spiritual guru or master, teacher may grant permission only when one have achieved trust to do the work for the highest good of humanity.

Duration to attain

Based on my personal experiences, although I started meditation more than 30 years ago and was always spiritual in sight and nature, my deeper calling, research and dedication lasted almost deep 8 years.

Visitations and Divine Play of Arulmigu Siva

In my earlier blogs, interviews on Chennai channels, my personal channel podcasts, and social media platforms, I have shared Arulmigu Siva's appearance first as a ball of orange light, then in physical form at my home, and a divine physical manifestation in Rishikesh where he appeared as Nandi. Many other miracles that I have shared previously can be found in the Knowledge Center on my website.

Divine tool

Who holds the divine tools of Siva and Shakti? No one holds these tools; the ones present in the physical world are not divine but originate from tantric practices, which do not genuinely capture the energies of Siva and Sakti.

When a person obtains the divine tool, it must be used exclusively for the betterment of humanity, rather than its destruction. This contrasts with the current chaotic world, where access to herbs and tantric practices, which can inherently disrupt the soul's progression, is readily available. However, divine Gods/Goddesses consistently step in when needed.
