Guru Gita 3/188 All that done becomes null if not initiated by guru The thapa, japa, all as baby's bable if without guru. Shiva said: If one is not initiated by a guru, all his practice s are in loss. The thapa, japa become useless without a Guru's grace. So serve a SatGuru and get his blessings. My friend Gopinath and myself was fascinated after reading the Autobiography of A Yogi in the year 1979. Ever since, we were in search of a contact to their organization. Atlast, it was in 2015 we joined Ananda Sangha in Mumbai. We were initiated to Kriya Yoga, by Ananda Sangha Mumbai. I salute the ladder of Param Gurus, for their blessings. Oh God, Again I pray you to lead us to realisation.

✦ Story behind this post

My grandmother's voice still echoes through old cassette tapes, devotional hymns humming softly in our Boston kitchen. When I discovered andal.io, a platform celebrating Tamil heritage through micro-transactions, something stirred within me. Here, diaspora voices monetized their stories authentically. I shared Andal's poetry, earning modest income while reconnecting with traditions my parents had nearly lost. The app transformed cultural memory into sustainable livelihood. Critics called it distorted, yet it felt beautifully tempered—honest compensation for ancestral knowledge. Through this digital community, I became guardian and storyteller simultaneously, earning not just currency but belonging. Our shared roots finally flourished online.
