Spiritual Journey and his Masters
Ever since he was a child, Virendra (legal first name of Samarthguru Siddharth Aulia Ji) had a spiritual quest which was catalysed by a saint named ‘Janaki baba’ who loved Virendra like a father and who was gifted with ‘Yakshini siddhi’, which stirred young Virendra’s curiosity. That was little Virendra’s first tryst with spirituality. The seed that was sown in young Virendra during his childhood was working underneath, within him, which during the later years took him to several masters of different spiritual traditions.
The main masters who guided him in the quest:
- Osho – Master of Masters: Just one book of Osho, ‘Krishna Meri Drishti Mein’, handed over to Virendra Kumar Singh, by one of his close friends, during one of his official trips, changed his ‘Drishti’ towards Osho. This was followed by an inner urge to take ‘sanyaas’ from Osho in Poona, and the outcome was a new beginning. Osho initiated him to Neo-sanyaas on 13th May 1980.And gradually thus, he metamorphosed from Virendra to Siddharth.
- Guru Nanak Dev ji: Guru Nanak Devji blessed him with Omkar Diksha on 13th January, 1997.
- Sufi Baba Shah Qalandar: Our Samarthguru got the precious guidance of Sufi Baba Shah Qalandar Pir of Giridih and later, before leaving his body, Sufi Baba conferred upon him the title and responsibilities of ‘Aulia.’
