Aumaujayaa! My name is Mahaasri Sujana Raju, and I am from Pune. With a heart full of gratitude, I would like to share Bhangaram — my divine journey to the Lotus Feet of Beloved MahaaGURU Ji.
A Sincere Prayer
About fifteen years ago, even before I had my first physical Darshan of Beloved MahaaGURU Ji, there was only one sincere prayer within my heart:
May I be blessed with the right Guru — the True Master who can guide my soul on the path of Truth.
During those days, I used to meditate deeply with this one longing.
A Divine Vision
Then something extraordinary happened. During meditation, I repeatedly experienced a profound inner vision — a Divine Presence appearing before me almost like a pencil sketch, silently revealing the form of the Guru my soul was searching for. That sacred image remained deeply imprinted within my consciousness.
The Search
I began searching everywhere for the Guru whose form resembled my Dhyana Darshan. I searched through books, newspapers, spiritual literature, photographs and the internet, hoping that one day I would recognize that Divine Presence. At that time, Beloved MahaaGURU Ji was not widely known or publicly visible, and therefore I had no way of knowing where my search would lead me.
The Blessed Moment
Then, one blessed day, by Divine Grace, I came to know about Beloved MahaaGURU Ji. When I finally received His Darshan, I could hardly believe my own eyes. The Divine Presence standing before me was the very Guru I had repeatedly seen in my meditation.
The Realization
My eyes filled with tears of joy and gratitude. Within my heart arose an overwhelming realization:
This is my Guru.
This is the Divine Master for whom I prayed.
This is the sacred presence I had been seeing in my meditation.
What I had experienced inwardly had appeared before me outwardly. I felt immensely blessed.
A Reflection
I later shared with Sri Pramoji a feeling that arose very strongly within me. I wondered why I had spent the first twenty-eight years of my life without having the blessing of spending that precious time at the Lotus Feet of Beloved MahaaGURU Ji.
A Deeper Understanding
But today I understand something deeper:
No sincere spiritual longing is wasted.
No genuine prayer is meaningless.
Every step of the search prepares the seeker for recognition when Grace finally opens the door. The past cannot be reclaimed, but the present can be transformed into dedication.

My Prayer
Therefore, instead of regretting the years that have passed, I pray that every remaining day of my life may become meaningful through Sadhana, Seva, Dharma, devotion, discipline, gratitude and spiritual transformation.
My Prayer to the Universe
May I be blessed with the fortune, strength, purity, humility, and dedication to spend my life at the Lotus Feet of my True Master. May I never take the Guru’s presence for granted.
May devotion become dedication. May dedication become discipline. May discipline become transformation. May transformation lead me toward Truth and Divine realization.
May every breath become gratitude, every thought become prayer, every action become Seva, and my entire life become an offering at the Lotus Feet of Beloved MahaaGURU Ji.
A Message to Fellow Seekers
If my journey can offer one message to another spiritual seeker, it is this:
Never give up your sincere search for Truth.
A true spiritual journey may require patience. There may be uncertainty, longing, silence, and years of searching. But continue to meditate, continue to purify yourself, continue to seek wisdom, and continue to live with Dharma. When the heart is sincere, even the search itself becomes part of the Sadhana.
My Aspiration
Today, I do not wish merely to say, “I found my Guru.” My greater aspiration is to become a worthy disciple — to live the teachings, serve with sincerity, grow in consciousness, and allow the Guru’s guidance to transform my entire life.
With infinite gratitude, devotion, and surrender,
Dhanyosmi, Beloved MahaaGURU Ji
