Popular filmmaker Neha Lohia hosted an extraordinary gathering in New York with co-host Parveen Chopra where invited guests had the unique opportunity to receive blessings individually from Sri Brahmrishi Siddhguru Gurudev fondly known as Siddhguru who came from Tirupati in India.
Siddhguru emphasized that the fortunate people in the room should thank their friend, Neha, for not organizing a wine party. Instead, she treated them to “a Divine Party”, a transformative experience, raising spirits in a way New York has never seen before.
The recent event at the Marriott Marquis Hotel was a celebration of spiritual elevation. Souls and spirits were uplifted by Siddhguru’s gracious presence and divinely inspirational messages.
He adroitly addressed the predominantly English-speaking audience in his uniquely innocent yet power-packed style.
Cautioning that modern life has numerous ways that deplete our soul energy, he encouraged the assembled people to follow and pursue all that strengthens soul energy as their primary to-do and to pay attention to their soul above all else.
Siddhguru, Sri Brahmrishi Siddheshwar Gurudev, is renowned for his profound knowledge of Vedic science including a PhD in astrology, and his perch at the pinnacle of consciousness after acquiring the rarest of rare 8 Siddhis and 9 Nidhis mentioned in ancient texts with his relentless sadhana of over five decades.
But he selflessly uses his miraculous abilities to heal all human beings at the soul level and helps lift their suffering and pain, often karmic.
He has devoted his potency to developing “Siddhasana,” The Power Of The Soul, a holistic practice to empower all souls who need to be strengthened to do good work in the world. While just encountering him heals at unspoken levels, he says his practice will supercharge people’s good agendas. This is what the world is ready for, and it is meant for the current and future generations who are ready for this truly revolutionary and powerful technology designed to make their individual soul powerful.
“We have advanced and created a lot of technology to be fit externally, to beautify from the outside but our souls are depleting and becoming weaker by the day. We need to strengthen our souls with active practice and utmost urgency,” the Siddhguru emphasized.
Neha Lohia adds that this crucial and timely message will be explored further in her upcoming documentary, “Siddhi,” centered on Siddhguru sharing more about this unique technology powered by deep and unspoken truths from sacred texts publicly for the very first time.
The event was co-hosted by Parveen Chopra, founder and editor of ALotusInTheMud.com web magazine, and was attended by many notable dignitaries, doctors, scientists, artists, healers, and light workers. They included Dr. Aleta St. James, Dr. Anna Yusim, Jodi Weiss, fashion designers Prashant Goyal and Jim Su, actors Alex Garfin of HBO Fame, Emmy-nominated filmmaker Tirlok Malik, latest Broadway sensation Kaitlyn Mitchell, CEO’s Kunal Sood and Seth Rao, and representatives such as Dr Sumul Raval from AAPI World Health Congress, which was inaugurated the same morning at Marriott Marquis by Siddhguru and where Siddhasana became an integral part of this year’s convention.
During his free-flowing yet focused discourse, Siddhguru addressed the growing rate of depression in affluent communities and emphasized the importance of increasing the power of faith in the creator and self among those gathered and striving for being the conduits of conscious change.
All those listening to him felt a surge of self-confidence and self-esteem when he told them, “Each one of you is unique – a Masterpiece. There is no one like you and your visions are entrusted in your soul alone because only you can make them happen.”
The gracious guru led the attendees in chanting ancient and powerful mantras for health, abundance, and wish fulfillment. Each guest received personal blessings, including precious gems and rare gifts manifested by the Siddhguru, to propel them further towards their goals.
The evening also featured a glimpse of the Siddhasana technique, conducted by Shilpa Shyamsukha Mehta, one of Siddhguru’s trained facilitators. Certain devotees whose lives have been transformed by following the guru’s practices were present in support of the event and included Sharada and Chandra Bhansali PhD, Rajesh Choradia and Ashok Sancheti. The energy in the room was palpable and new followers alike were deeply moved by the Siddhguru’s grace, blessings, and profound teachings.
Siddhguru’s homilies, such as seeing the word FAILure as “First Attempt in Learning”, NO as “Next Opportunity”, ‘Raise the quality of your words not your voice’, and the new mantra “Know Faith, No Fear,” resonated deeply, leaving a lasting impression on all present.
“This truly was a rare and special gathering,” said one attendee, reflecting on the unique blend of wisdom and divine energy that permeated the event.
“He is enlightened, and I am so fortunate that I followed my intuition and came to this event,” said Aleta St. James, who empowers millions of American women with her life-shifting healing modalities.
Siddhguru applauded Neha and all the women in the room, saying mothers had to be women — never men – as compassionate hearts were entrusted to women alone. Everyone is born through a woman on this planet, and it is their growing and flowing expression of compassion that is healing for this world.
In the run-up to Guru Purnima, the master blessed all present and especially showered his abundant love on the hosts, empowering them to keep walking the path of dharma and creating more opportunities for sangha, the community of conscious friends who come together to share how to elevate consciousness.
