Shocked to hear this. Guruji thank you so much for initiating and guiding so many people into path of Sri Vidya... We will really miss you .. Please continue to guide us in our life.

when I landed into Manblunder website had a wish of meeting the person since we both are in Chennai.. I emailed him with lot of doubts whether he would even be liking to meet me in person. But I got a reply with his mobile number and address. Immediately took permission from office and I started to his house. At that time I don't even think I will be spending most of my time in that house. I even didnt had a wish of getting srividhya initiation.. just I wanted to meet him and clear my doubts in spirituality. Slowly our relationship got stronger day by day and the frequency of spending time with Raviji gradually increased. We used to discuss lot of philosophy, meditation, rituals , etc etc.. and became more close like friends. Then one fine day I had a quench for Srividhya asked Raviji, will you initiate me.. Immediately within next 5 mins I was initiated by him over the same phone call. Next day morning before going to office met him in person and he initiated me again personally also. And blessed me to become a Guru. I just thought he was Making fun with me and left the place. Our connections got stronger and stronger and we used to discus on all articles he wrote. And I was with him when he wrote Navavaarna Pooja articles and we discussed a lot on them when he was writing itself. He taught me and gave me support to do my first navavarna Pooja on a Sharad Poornima. Later a fine day he said that he is going to do purnabhesheka for Avijith from Kolkata and he wants to do purnabheshekam for me as well.. I never asked him for such a ritualistic initiation as I know he left all those stuff long back. I met him and it was a pleasant surprise to me that he himself was ready to give me purnabhesheka. On January 26th of 2014 saw Raviji in a ritualistic attair for the first time for my purnabhesheka day. He was adorned with pasma and kumkuma on his head and was dwelling like a star. At that time aunty was just out of hospital for her treatment of cancer. She cooked the lunch for the day for us. We had purnabhesheka and went to Paramaguru's house and then lunch at Raviji's place. Again in the evening we had a Pooja for Gurumandala and navavarna Pooja followed by Dinner. Even today I think how Aunty made it possible with the lunch and dinner for the day for all of us even when she is not physically well. Hats off to her dedication towards Raviji... Days went by.. Even before putting my name on Manblunder, he made me initiate couple of people and guided them thro me.. later when he thought of making the list of initiators, he added my name in that and put it on the website. He sent a person named Senthill who have reached Raviji for initiation, as the first person thro manblunder website. Days went.. I slowly realised it is a different way my Guru has taken to teach me, by adding me in the list of initiatiors. I felt it is my Guru taking multiple forms and come to me under the blanket of initiation and fine tune my thought process. It is only him who is playing both the roles of Guru and disciple and keeping me as a witness to the play he makes me on the stage of my life. With his blessings, started to do ritualistic purnabhesheka to people. Discussed the process for it and did my first purnabhesheka in Arunachala(thiruvannamalai, Tamil nadu) and later he sent couple of people for purnabhesheka one from Himachal pradesh, a disciple of Santhosh and the other is Arka from westbengal of this Group. Both of them are from Shakti peetas Naina Devi and Attahasa-peeta. That itself is a special blessing for me to initiate people from such great places. On the evening of the purnabhesheka Raviji called me and shared his Happiness for doing the Purnabhesheka for all the people and he said he felt the vibes with all those who got purnabhesheka on that day. I had a practice of meeting Raviji with one of my close friends Arun, whom Raviji used to address as Sidhar. ARUN is also writing a series on Manblunder on a Tamil Poem Abhirami andhadhi. Last 6 months he was more liberal than ever.. he shared more personal time with us etc., and on his birth Star, we met Raviji and got his blessings on that day and nice prasadhams from Aunty's Hand. We enjoyed the day with him without knowing that it would be the last meeting when he is with his body consciousness. Myself and Arun were waiting for the next chance to meet Raviji, we only got the information that Raviji was Admitted in Hospital. And later when we met him on Thursday late evening, it was already late... Santhosh, Suresh, Krishna you all are doing a great job of taking the legacy of Manblunder website.. your contribution to it are amazing. I Met Dan in Raviji's house during his last year visit. Very nice person, we had a good discussion with Raviji on his meeting. Raviji would often refer Jayanth and Santhosh for the dedication towards initiating people. U all know I usually take a lot of turnaround time for initiating. But these people will be super fast, mostly within a day or 2, the people who sent Email will be initiated into the mantra. Great job folks. I have not interacted with many. Though I miss his physically presence as in the Form of Raviji, I console myself saying, My Brahmam is everywhere around me.. He is interacting with me every moment and will continue until I breath my last.

Shocking news for all the disciples. Guruji is noble and humble soul who has propogated srividya to all the desired irrespective of caste and creed without any commercialization. True noble soul who has reached the abode of lalithambika. I am glad honoured and proud to be his disciple.

Thank you for pouring your heart out, Santhosh ji. My heart is heavy while reading this. I am one of the countless spiritual seekers who is learning from this website (A real ocean of knowledge). In this commercial era, people ask for money for every single thing, and during my quest for true knowledge, Guruji is the only person who has made the vidya available for everyone free of charge and with no discrimination. His passing is still unbelievable and is slowly sinking into my heart now. It is very painful to think of the fact that Guruji is not around physically. I pray to the divine mother for his atma to attain moksha. Long live Guruji, his selfless service and his kind-heartedness.

Thank you Dear Santosh! We are still unable to recover from this shocking news of the sudden passing away of Shri Ravi Guruji and fathom this loss. If only the Divine Mother was not in such a hurry to take back Her chosen son, we would still be drinking the nectar of spirituality from his posts and advice. I consider myself extremely lucky to have interacted with him in person and taken deeksha into Sri Vidya. Please do continue the article and share more anecdotes and experiences that you have had with Shri Ravi Guruji, for the benefit of all readers! His deeds and contributions are exemplary in the field of spirituality and he will remain immortal through his writings for all time to come! Om Shri Gurubhyo Namah!

Tripughna ji, 1.)CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE various transformative stages associated WITH ALL THE CHAKRAS ,NAVANADAS ,NITYAS SO THAT A SADHAK BE ABLE TO KNOW HIS/HER PROGRESS ACCORDINGLY. 2.)IS IT POSSIBLE THAT CHAKRAS ARE NOT ACTIVATED FULLY BUT NAVANADAS STARTED OPERATING?

guruji we all miss your physical presence. om shanti om shanti om shanti.

My humble pranams to the selfless soul, Guruji. I have immensely benefitted by his writings and have always wondered about the knowledge and service he has rendered to all. My prayers to Ambal Kamakshi to give Guruji sadgati. Om Shanti.

Shocked and sad to hear this. His selfless contribution through spiritual knowledge to a very large community of admirers, followers, and fortunate students is invaluable. May Devi, give him peace and the family, strength to deal with it.

Humble pranams to a selfless enlightened soul.
