My Gurus: Shri Mahant Arjun Puri Ji Maharaj
Shri Mahant Arjun Puri Ji Maharaj – although not formally among my Five Gurus, was made my “Siddh” guru, and as such I always honored him exactly the same as Shri Maharaj Kapil Puri Ji, as he was Shri Maharaj’s guru. Arjun Puri Maharaj was understood to be well over 100 years old (some claim he was 150) when he attained Samadhi following the Ujjain Kumbh Mela in 2004. It was at that very same Kumbh Mela, that Arjun Puri Ji Maharaj put me in Shri Maharaj’s seat in Ujjain. He was also well known for his powerful chanting of Shivamahimna Stotra on Monday evenings.
