Sishyapoojitha Janani Amritha Jnana Thapaswini - The Spiritual Guide

Guru left His physical body, merging in Adisankalpam (the plane of all origins), on 6th May 1999 (23rd Medam, 1175 ME). It was revealed that He would continue to be with us as ‘Nava Oli' and the day is to be celebrated as Nava Oli Jyothir Dinam - Sarvamangala Sudinam (the day of the ‘New Light', a day of wonderful spiritual grace). Guru had assured the parampara of an enlightened soul functioning as Guru Sthaneeya (Guru apparent) in each generation for ages to come. Guru's words have been actualized in Sishyapoojitha Janani Amritha Jnana Thapaswini, who is the guiding spirit of the Ashram now.

The concept of Sishyapoojitha is unique and the first of its kind in the history of Guru- Sishya Parasparya (Guru - disciple relationship). The jeeva (soul) of the disciple has to undergo great elevation and evolution to the highest spiritual plane by the grace of Guru, to attain the status of Sishyapoojitha. Guru is manifesting His Will through Sishyapoojitha Janani. She is the medium through which Guru is guiding the parampara. Many devotees who have the gift of visions have seen Guru speaking through Her. Sishyapoojitha Janani is the Spiritual Head and the Spiritual Guide and the greatest gift from Guru.
