Om Namah Shivaey.
I am a shiva devout since I remember, traditionally normal for Kashmiri Pandits family culture. I am devoted reader of Bagwan Gita and follow both adevait Vedanta and Kashmir Shaivism. After listening to most of Swamiji,s discourses on U tube and reading many times the Secret Supreme, I feel I have reached the lotus feet of Sat Guru. I also plan to visit the Lakshman Jo academy in California. I plan to have the set of books to further enlighten me on my spiritual journey of self reawakening.
