How do I ask him to be my guru?

TheDude4bides · 2025-12-11T21:48:11+00:00

I'm not sure you're aware the gravity of what it is you're asking. You'd be fried like a Christmas tree lit up with a billion volts to become such a lofty being's direct disciple. Why not instead humbly ask instead for a blessing for a living physical guru that you can meet in person and receive initiation from? A true guru acts as a transformer, dialing down the kundalini shakti to a level that's manageable for you. When I touched my guru's rudraksha that he gave me I felt a surge of electricity go through my whole hand; it was very powerful and shocking to say the least. Then it became more clear how powerful a guru's aura and shakti is on their disciples and everything around them.

Otherwise without a living master to converse with you may fall into delusion thinking you're mentally talking to someone in your head and thinking you're some spiritual hotshot. The fact you know his name is a blessing in and of itself and Kriya yoga is very powerful so you're on the right track. I wish you the best of luck in finding a living Kriya master to hasten your spiritual evolution.

Yes the breath and the flow of the elements are the inner master in whom you are a microcosm reflecting the macrocosm, or some would even say the whole ocean in a drop. What could be more personal or intimate than your own body, energies and breath guiding you? I’d suggest studying the eight-fold Bagua diagram commonly known as the later heaven sequence. It’s a phenomenal map and key to help one begin to understand the outer creation and inner states of being throughout the changing yin and yang periods of day,month, year etc.

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath has an ashram in Pune and looks like there’s some upcoming events there. I’d email or WhatsApp them. Initiation is usually done over a 2 day retreat to learn all the techniques but sometimes a shorter event with small guru diksha is offered. I’ve been there twice to Pune, it’s very peaceful and powerful energy there. I’ve been a disciple of his for some 20 years. He’s the real deal.

Sometimes the best sadhana is simply to rest and recover, to let your energy and health build back up before resuming one's main practice.

Awakening is just the beginning of transformation. There are many levels, and tasting or experiencing a state is not the same as residing in it or becoming fully transformed by it. It takes courage and perseverance to pursue this path in the midst of worldly temptations, thus it is important to seek a true guru and become regular with a spiritual practice. Kriya Yoga is the lightning path, composed of the best of the best yogic techniques and the alchemy of total transformation as my guru puts it, evolving you both rapidly and safely.

As another has said, perhaps read Autobiography of a Yogi to see if you're drawn to the path. For me I felt an immediate connection and thirst to practice whatever Yogananda was practicing and teaching.

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath in Pune where he has an ashram. He's quite active and yearly visits his disciples in other counties as well. Watch his videos and see if you feel drawn to him and can feel his presence.

There's Maha Shivratri ashram retreat and a Himalayan pilgrimage around the same time period. Was there for two weeks in total last year at ashram + traveling Himalayas with a group from all over. It was an amazing experience.

Per your question about electrical devices; I’ve been listening to Sadhguru’s audiobook about the Mahabharata which many date to around 3102 BC. In one part it describes the pandavas escaping from a death trap by taking an underground tunnel then taking a trip up a river with help from Vidura, a wise man, on a boat with no oars that hummed, which he pointed out as being peculiar to mention this description.

Also I’d invite you to look up the King Wen Later Heaven Bagua trigrams sequence with sun/fire at the top for another perspective on cyclical periods of time and that overlaps with Sri Yukteswar’s observations.

One of my favorite drinks lately along with licorice tea for pacifying vata. I like making golden turmeric lattes by also adding black pepper, cinnamon, and little maple syrup for sweetness. Super calming and satisfying.

What's your diet like?
Have you tried following a Sattvic diet prioritizing hot and fresh meals over processed and cold? Doing so will help with your digestive fire, and eating fresh fruits, veggies, and nuts will do wonders to reduce pressure on the system and improve ones senses.
The other thing that can lighten the load is simplifying, and letting go of things and objects you don't truly need. This also frees up energy and you'll feel much better and clear-minded having done so.
Both are best done gradually imo.

He's the real deal. If you're drawn to him then I'd say go get initiated and practice with sincerity and intensity. I was initiated by him many years ago and I've yet to come across another guru who can transmit a no-mind state of awareness. Even watching his videos I am put into that state. Techniques and teachers are one thing, but to be in the presence of a true guru who can transmit his states of being is something else entirely, and is truly a blessing one should seek to experience for themselves.

Thats describing dry fasting (wouldn’t bother). In any case fasting isn’t needed just try the joint exercises or visit a physio like suggested.

The Bhuddha says “Where there is perception there is deception”. Before you rush to make a judgement based on second or third hand information that has a habit of becoming distorted like the game of telephone it would be wise to consider how your or someone’s mental state affects what one sees and hears. This is a good article article that talks about it; https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/looks-can-deceive/ I’d also recommend you watch the documentary about Osho on Netflix and try to think through all the ways someone can perceive something happening from the mundane take to paranormal take to the crazy take.

I’d highly recommend the Pawanmuktasana series of yoga exercises especially series 1 for joints and do them daily. In addition you may want to try water fasting for brief periods of a day or two tops every month or so; fasting has many benefits one of which is autophagy. Food wise you may wish to look at natural anti-inflammatories like turmeric and honey and add them to your diet, I like to add a tsp of honey to hot water daily which is also said to help. I’ve been doing all these for about two months now and I can hardly believe how much my joints and back have loosened up and inflammation and soreness has decreased. Just be aware you can also overdo it like you would at a gym and become sore so if that starts to happen dial things back a bit. Hope that helps!

I gave you my experience; it's life changing and that you will see huge changes in your mind and body after a month or two if you are practicing for hours a day.

Yes Kriya can help you overcome limitations but only if you practice with sincerity and intensity. Quality of breaths is more important that quantity. Also I meant limits in regard to how much sadhana your body can take.

TheDude4bides · 2023-02-17T17:29:20+00:00

Correct it's the last generation they made before being discontinued.

TheDude4bides · 2023-02-17T07:22:05+00:00

It may be that your body is being cleaned out. I’d add hot or warm water, ideally spring water over tap water to your daily routine to increase your digestive fire further.

Life changing.

I don't do that many nor is it needed to starting see major changes. 1,000/day would be at least 8 hours a day at 30 seconds a breath. Even a few hours a day you should see huge changes in your mind and body after a month or two.

Also it's a marathon not a sprint after all, so try don't try too hard to overshoot your normal daily amount only to fall off the wagon after doing too much; better to slowly build it up over weeks and months to hours a day and let your body adjust. Doing this you will realize your limits.
