A glorious and selfless soul who has made an indelible mark in the spiritual world. His words, writings and advice to all who sought him, will keep him alive at all times. A thorough gentleman with a very soft heart and full of love for everyone. He was always cheerful and content. A self-realized guru who didn't wish to be called a guru, stating that the true Guru is the Divine Mother Herself and that he is but a humble child of Hers. We will surely miss his physical presence but his higher self will always be with us guiding us in all walks of our lives and his ethereal presence will also be here on this website guiding genuine seekers till eternity. From the time I knew him, he was already one with the Divine Mother!

Such a shock news for me. I never met him. I live overseas. When i found his articles online i sent an email to him . He took lot of patience to reply back and forth. Last month i did Sri Yantra pooja and i sent all pictures to him. He blessed me happily and as i requested he said he can meet me when i come to India next year. I was eagerly waiting to meet him. So shocked now. I am happy that his blessings are with me.

Very humble, noble, open minded person immersed in Spirituality, that I have ever met in my life, through this site. Not personally, but his mails were always an encouraging, guiding force & a source of inspiration to progress. He was a modern Saint. This site with tremendous authentic knowledge is a modern Gurukul for seekers like me. His biggest gift to me was, permission to proceed with Mahashodashi after checking birth chart details. His selfless service must have surely taken his soul to the Divine Mother. Liberation is a celebration of the Divine soul in merging with The Divine Supreme. Ravi Guruji is now one with The Supreme Consciousness.

Very sad to hear this. It is because of him many people like me got to know about Srividya upasana and other mantras which are not available in public domain. Let us pray for his Sadgati

He will always be in our hearts.

Appa how and where will find you.... I am all alone without you, you always wanted to see me happy but today I'm really sad and crying for you... Who else I have now here..... I'm unhappy without you Appa... 

Miss you Ravi Uncle! I was a bad devotee but as Sri Matha you ensured that you always protected me. Many times, I failed to realize that you are the real Lalitha amma in human form guiding me at every step. Please continue to protect me uncle.

Jaya Sri Ānandānandanātha! Guruji will always be in our hearts.

श्री रवि गुरु जी को भावपूर्ण श्रद्धांजली। ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते । पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः

Dear V. Ravi's books, teachings and his website have opened the path for many spiritual seekers to choose one of the many paths to divine. I just corresponded with him a few times and didn't have the privilege to meet him in person. He, was very patient to guide me to the right person for what I was looking for. I am certain that his legacy will continue to influence many generations to come.

My Humble pranam to one of the most shining soul, Guruji u left us Rest in peace and always keep your blessing on us. I am indebted to you with your permission and blessing Santoshji initiated me to Maha sodashi, which is most valuable blessing from u.

Very shocking to hear this. I have had the good fortune of interacting with Ravi Guruji over mails on mantra initiation guidance. He was very prompt in responding to all sadhakas. May his divine presence continue to guides us all on spiritual journey. Om Shanthi.

Our humble pranams to Sri Ānandānandanātha! When i connected with over email few months back, He told he is not keeping well and asked me to get in touch with his disciples. Without Him, this treasure of spiritual information will not have reached many people. May His soul guide us all those who would like to embark on a spiritual path.

Humble pranams to a selfless enlightened soul.

Shocked and sad to hear this. His selfless contribution through spiritual knowledge to a very large community of admirers, followers, and fortunate students is invaluable. May Devi, give him peace and the family, strength to deal with it.

My humble pranams to the selfless soul, Guruji. I have immensely benefitted by his writings and have always wondered about the knowledge and service he has rendered to all. My prayers to Ambal Kamakshi to give Guruji sadgati. Om Shanti.

guruji we all miss your physical presence. om shanti om shanti om shanti.

Shocking news for all the disciples. Guruji is noble and humble soul who has propogated srividya to all the desired irrespective of caste and creed without any commercialization. True noble soul who has reached the abode of lalithambika. I am glad honoured and proud to be his disciple.

Shocked to hear this. Guruji thank you so much for initiating and guiding so many people into path of Sri Vidya... We will really miss you .. Please continue to guide us in our life.

Namaste to all Shri Ravi Guruji will always be in our hearts

Koti Koti Pranam to the lotus feet of my Sri Guru who is Sri Mata Swayam....My great loving Sri Guru Sri Anandanandanatha will always be there for all devoted souls, he will always be present for all his ignorant children, he will always be  here to guide us all in his subtle form....Jaya Jaya Gurudev.... Guruji will always be in our hearts.

I have no words knowing the news. I last interacted with Shri Guruji on 9th Dec. He was everything to me. Although I know he is still with us but feel sad and alone.

I just came to know this news of Raviji's passing and I'm deeply saddened. My heartfelt sincere condolences' to his family, friends and disciples.. Raviji has personally answered many of the questions i have had and I am still awed by his humility and simplicity and knowledge and generosity in sharing his knowledge.

Shocked beyond words. After many many years had a guilty hunch to email and talk to Ravi Sir this 6th December and seemed absolutely fine over the call. This is beyond belief. .I cannot ever forget all the support and guidance sir gave me through difficult times. Humble Pranams to a Great Human being. Will deeply deeply miss you sir. Pardon me for any mistakes I made.

Deeply saddened to learn about the demise of our beloved Shri Ravi Guruji. He was so patient in answering questions on email. He guided me to his disciple to get initiated into Sri Vidya mantra. It was my deep desire to meet him. But that will not happen now. Feeling heavy but I am sure he will guide all of us in our spiritual path. Om Shanti.

He was one of the good ones, His legacy lives on!

Om Shanti

Shri Ravi Guruji has enlightened us, he shared so many answers about life. I am fortunate to know him by his manblunder initiative.

Speechless!

Krishna ji, Santosh ji. Here is the long awaited shloka on Our beloved Shri Ravi Guruji, My Shiva in-person. A mutual friend of Sriram ji and mine composed the verses based on the initial rough draft given. Final Shloka: पूर्णोत्फुल्लमुखाम्बोजं शिवज्ञानवरान्वितम् | आनन्दानन्दनाथंतं गुरुमूर्तिमहंभजे || सुलभंशान्तमूर्तिञ्च तेजोमयसुविग्रहम् | आनन्दानन्दनाथस्य भजेहंकीर्तिमद्भुतम् || pūrṇotphullamukhāmbojaṃ śivajñānavarānvitam | ānandānandanāthaṃtaṃ gurumūrtimahaṃbhaje || sulabhaṃśāntamūrtiñca tejomayasuvigraham | ānandānandanāthasya bhajehaṃkīrtimadbhutam || Initial Verses describing Guruji's attributes: अरुनांबुज मुखांकारं सधा शान्थ भाशिनं तेजोमय रूपं देवं शिवज्ञान वरधायकं सौलभ्य मूर्थिं कीर्थि मनोवाचाम गोचरं वन्धे गुरोर्गुरुं आनन्धानन्ध नाथं शिवम् arunāṃbuja mukhāṃkāraṃ sadhā śāntha bhāśinaṃ tejomaya rūpaṃ devaṃ śivajñāna varadhāyakaṃ saulabhya mūrthiṃ kīrthi manovācāma gocaraṃ vandhe gurorguruṃ ānandhānandha nāthaṃ śivam

Thank you Ravi Ji for all the work you did while here in physical form. I am thankful for your teachings and will continue to practice, hopefully we will meet again in another light.

Namaskaaram, Namah ShivAya. I was a bit busy and didn't log in to this website for some time. I'm sad on the one hand that I'll not be able to physically meet Shri Ravi Guruji when i come over to Chennai. Btu from a higher standpoint, he had always had a mastery of the elements, even back in 2016 when I received Maha Shodashi mantra from him via Skype. I could feel the heat and pulsation while he was giving deeksha by just looking into the monitor in Chennai, while I received it in Malaysia. He just smiled and that was it. We corresponded by email a few times. HE was always cordial and down to earth. He had said that Maha Shodashi will give both wealth and Mukti - take you straight to Shiva. Just 6 months thereafter, I received Siva deeksha from a Swami from the Thiru Moolar order, all effortlessly due to the inherent potency of Ravi Guruji and the Guru Mandala and Maha Shodashi. This short tribute is to the genuine nature of Sri Ravi Guruji and his immense simplicity, while wielding such Power and Grace of the Divine Mother. I will never forget and forever be in gratitude of his silent grace. Aum Shanti
