- After 18 years of soul-searching journeys, he met with his Guru Swami Sachchidanand ji in Siddhashram who ordered him to go back to the grihastha ashrama and lead a life as a householder, much required to spread the knowledge of mantra and tantra and dispel the notions and beliefs attached to them.
