From early childhood, Sri Abhilash Guruji was drawn to the Devi. With no formal initiation, he was taught the sacred procedures by the Goddess herself in dreams, until the Vedas, the Durga Saptashati and the Narayani Stuti flowed effortlessly through him.
Devi Amma declared that she would grant darshan through Guruji. During the aarti, she manifests through him to guide devotees and help resolve their difficulties.
