Not surprising given SadhguruJV‘s connection with him. “Sadhguru Sri Brahma is a reminder for me because I am also full of fire, but we always keep it in a controlled flame. We never…

    My Tryst With Kartigai Deepam: The Story So Far…..

When I reached Tiruvannamalai, my adventure with Ramana Ashram and Arunachalam began – at least in this physical life.
