Rajivji’s Story
Rajivji started his inner search for the Self by being initiated into Kriya Yoga from his Guru, Sri Dubeyji of the Panchanon lineage, which he then practiced devoutly for fifteen years. After this time, however, he reached a point where he felt he could no longer make further progress. He saw that Kriyas were preparatory practices, and although very helpful in steadying the mind, they were external to the ‘I’ that he was intent upon realizing.
“The ego persists to remain –
in spite of arduous practices.
This is where one will really appreciate the ASK ™ teachings”
– Rajivji
Along his journey, Rajivji met many Meditation Masters and Sages of Ancient Indian Spiritual tradition who provided him with instruction, practices and insights. Around this time, he was irresistibly drawn to the teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, and he embarked deeper on the journey of Self-Inquiry.
He soon began to effortlessly fall into ecstatic bliss, and experience profound states of consciousness…
At first, these states of joyous samadhi were temporary, but eventually they became more continuous as they were ‘realized’. He soon illustrated every individual’s natural and potential state of being – once one sees past the ‘ego-I’ illusion. Some of this deep journey of unravelling is described through the transcribed dialogues and conversations in Rajivji’s first book, Autobiography of a Jnani.
Rajivji’s realization continues to unfold deeper into blissful states through the inspiration and intervention of his Divine Beloved whilst continuing to tease out any remaining vasanas that may resurface or appear.
“By abiding in the I-Am, the ego remains”
– Rajivji
Rajivji connects with his fellow Sadhakas through his live and online Satsangs, retreats, articles, books and private sessions which are offered in Shamirpet, near Hyderabad, and in other parts of India, as well as around the world. In particular, Rajivji’s committed and intensive practice of instruction and personal guidance through his private online Satsangs has been a truly special opportunity for others to connect with him on a consistent and meaningful basis.
Rajivji continues to devote his days to supporting and counseling through his many forums, both online and in-person, as well as writing articles, discourses, and books, while also taking care of his family and practical affairs. Performing all these duties in a spirit of humility, abundance and joy, he is a fountain of inspiration and love to all who know him.
