Life

Guruji Maharshi is an Indian guru from Dommasandra, Anekal Taluk, Bangalore, in the state of Karnataka.

As part of his chores, Guruji Maharshi gathised food scraps from neighbours and family to help the needy . He would bring these people food and clothing from his own home. Guruji Maharshi also began to spontaneously help people to comfort them in their sorrow. Guruji Maharshi commented, "I don’t see if it is a man or a woman. I don't see anyone different from my own self. A continuous stream of love flows from me to all of creation. This is my inborn nature. The duty of a doctor is to treat patients. In the same way, my duty is to console those who are suffering."

Guruji Maharshi forefathers were also great spiritual leaders and even Guruji followed the path of his father Venkatesh Iyengar who held his hand to the world of Spirituality.

In 2014, at the request of devotees, Guruji Maharshi began to conduct programs in countries throughout the world. He has done so annually ever since.
