Adiguru Prakriti
Silence is not emptiness; it is the fullness of presence!
Samadhi is not the end, but the beginning of true inner freedom!
Since the age of 5, I have had a deep knowing within that I am born for a purpose, for a reason; since then, I have been searching for the "unknown", and I have had no words to explain it to anyone. I was highly intuitive and used to have strange, otherworldly dreams, mostly of snakes. From 6 to 9, Lotus Flowers were mystical to me, and I used to play with and catch Snakes (Vipers & King Cobras). At age 14, Mother Kali (Ultimate Illusion Destroyer Goddess) initiated me into renunciation (my story). She showed me the impermanence in the cruellest way it can be experienced. That made me question life, death, God, and reality. That disaster made me realise the mortal nature of the body, and my seeking began. I was living in the world but did not belong to it.
Then life happened to me as usual: I got a family, and my career started with ambitions, dreams, and achievements for a long time in Information Technology. I was busy riding the hamster wheel of successes, failures, happiness, unhappiness, love, and loneliness, and the whole saga of life as a woman, a mother, and whatnot went full-on without any breaks.
In 2011, finally, the urge for the unknown became so intense that day & night I was just restless; renunciation tore off all boundaries I had in my life around me. I knew this time I could not silence this "urge for the unknown" within me with something external in the world. I knew I had to drastically change my life and do something about that urge. Then, one day, I knew I needed to raise my Kundalini and meditate. At that time, it felt like I knew nothing about all that; I did not have any Guru, but as I sat down at 3:00 AM every morning, things started to come up by themselves and through Enlightenment, I learned I was the Disciple (Kriya Yogi) of Guru Lahiri Mahasaya (Great Grand Guru of Paramhansa Yogananda) in my past life.
After practising Kundalini Kriya & Dhyana for 2.5 months, in December 2011, there came a day when I was jolted out of my world. A small glimpse (Samadhi) into the other side of the veil forced me to pursue my "inner journey" even more fiercely. That was the most beautiful day of my life, as I saw another reality: Absolute. As the Kundalini Shakti throbbed in me, the Guru Chakra flowed within, and I started following my inner Guru. The journey was full of ups and downs, and being a person of a scientific bent of mind, having no living Guru or Master to hold my hand, and being sceptic about all fairy tales related to God, Divine, and Religion made me experiment with everything on myself and learn from my own direct experience. It made me question the "truth" about life, creation, the universe and my existence.
After 3.5 years of arduous confrontation with myself, Enlightenment finally happened on 5th March 2015. The dream was broken forever; Illusions were all gone, no questions left to be answered, and the perception changed altogether and touched the domain of mysticism. Being an IT professional, programmer and solution architect by heart, I was mostly confined to my small logical and rational mind with spurts of creativity in between, but all that now was transcended and merged with the Cosmic Mind. Truth (Brahm/Shoonya/Shiva/That/Christ Consciousness) exploded in me, and I became just a "Being". Wherever I looked, I saw myself in the Florida maple trees, the rock beneath, and everyone I saw myself. Perception expanded beyond six senses, and I found myself one with the whole universe and every being, dead or alive. I found myself in Buddha, in Jesus, and in every Awakened Master/Guru that was ever there, and I saw my birth. The realisation of "Being One with ALL" resulted in Bliss (Parmanand) and Universal Love. Technically speaking, I landed in the 6th Dimension where the illusion of separation is gone forever, Oneness is perceived, or, in other words, Pure Consciousness (Atma/Soul) is realised. Afterwards, for 73-75 days, I stayed in Nirvikalpa Samadhi, and I have no memory of that time-space continuum, as I was living beyond that. When it ended, I realised I had some past life karmic seeds that I had to dry, and it took me to Arizona, and I got that done.
Eight months after the Enlightenment, one day, I fell into Nothingness (Unmanifest/Shoonya/Shiva). I went through a complete Merger to the extent of becoming Non-Existent and having no self-experience. It's about facing your death, the real one, not when you leave the body, but when the Real You becomes genuinely non-existent. On 18th April 2016, technically from the 6th Dimension, I was now gone to the 8th Dimension, where I had Self-Realization (End of Nirvikalpa Samadhi - Dharma Megha Samadhi, Moksha, Sat-Chit-Ananda). Cosmic/Supreme Consciousness only remains, and no "Me/Prakriti" is there anymore. All that Prakriti could ever call "I, Me" was destroyed forever. Technically, it is the last stage in which anyone can evolve in the human body.
Now, the Supreme Consciousness, Shiva-Shakti in Union, is here, playing through the body of Prakriti and helping others achieve the same while sharing the "joy of life."
When a few of my friends heard me and learned through me, they basked in the universal love, bliss, and energy emanating from this body that I have. Out of their love, they gave me the name "Adiguru" (Primordial Guru/Master).
Those who still are identified with their own physical body may see me just as another body going around and living normally, but those who have gone little inside, within themselves, can truly experience the wonder through me; they might be able to touch that Supreme Consciousness and may Awaken themselves. I am just an "emptiness", a "mirror"; you will see yourself in me as you are and know that if a monkey looks into the mirror, he won't see an apostle (Yeah, the cosmos has a sense of humour, too). Reflecting on you to make you more Conscious and Awake is the whole point of being in this body despite completing the process of evolution.
This was my journey from "IT(Information Technology) to IT (Inner Transformation) and from AI (Artificial Intelligence) to AI (Ascended Intelligence).

May you be Awake! May you become Peace, Love & Bliss.
