​​We recognize stages of development on the path for a seeker:

Novice → Apprentice → Disciple → Initiate → Adept.

​

Only the Adept stands in the realized state of “All is One.” Others are still ascending toward it.

 

Many seekers do not need an enlightened master. They seek emotional support, intellectual insight, or moral guidance,  and for that, there are gurus and guides who serve a vital function.

 

Emotional gurus, for instance, often teach unity and belonging. They offer warmth, inclusion, and healing. Yet as one evolves, it becomes untruthful to pretend all are equal in consciousness. True growth requires acknowledging the differences in vibration and realization.

 

That’s why we offer this map, to help seekers discern what they are truly seeking, and from whom.

 

The Six Types of Gurus

 

1. EMOTIONAL GURUS (EMOTIONAL & TRAUMA TEACHERS)

Emotional Gurus focus on emotional and psychological healing through modalities such as breathwork, chanting, energy practices, and trauma release. While they help disciples process pain, emotional healing is not equivalent to enlightenment. Many confuse emotional highs with transformation. Without deeper self-awareness, these experiences remain fleeting.

 

These gurus often emphasize love, connection, and surrender, adapting techniques originally developed by enlightened masters. They may use pranayama, qigong, kundalini activation, prayer, and ritual to regulate emotions. However, their teachings are shaped by their own unresolved wounds, leading to inconsistent guidance. A guru still immersed in healing cannot lead others beyond suffering - their inner conflicts inevitably influence their teachings.

 

Over time, some become emotionally volatile, reacting with anger or possessiveness when questioned. Others may exploit devotion for sex, power, or material gain, masking their struggles behind promises of transformation. Their unresolved pain can foster toxic group dynamics, trapping disciples in cycles of emotional dependence rather than genuine spiritual growth.

 

An Emotional Guru who avoids solitude and deep purification risks spreading their own wounds. If they bypass inner work, be cautious - they are drinking from the same infection they claim to cure. Emotional healing is an important stage, but transformation begins only when one moves beyond emotion itself.

 

Many modern spiritual movements are led by Emotional Gurus who blend yoga, psychology, and devotion to offer emotionally fulfilling, yet ultimately temporary, transformations.

 

2: THE SADHU (MORALIST)

Sadhus embody discipline, renunciation, and ethical living. They draw from religious traditions and strict moral codes, promoting self-control, service, and virtue as pathways to liberation.

 

This path offers structure, but it is not the final destination. Morality imposed from the outside suppresses rather than transforms unconscious desires. Rigid moralism often leads to dogmatism - dividing the world into ‘good’ and ‘evil’ without a deeper understanding of human nature. Repressed impulses may later emerge as hypocrisy, hidden indulgence, or moral collapse.

 

Moreover, virtue can feed the ego, turning morality into pride rather than liberation. Discipline, when overemphasized, can suppress joy, creativity, and natural flow.

 

Many Sadhus attract large followings by advocating ethical living, morality, and restraint. They offer structured paths of self-restraint and good deeds. However, when followed rigidly, these paths risk reducing spirituality to a set of rules rather than a living inquiry into truth.

 

Morality should emerge from awareness, not compulsion. Without direct experience of truth, a virtuous life becomes performance - upright on the outside, empty within.

 

Still, self-discipline, mastery over impulses, and the cultivation of purity and order are essential steps. Though morality alone doesn't lead to enlightenment, it forms a necessary foundation.

 

3. THE JNANI GURU (KNOWLEDGE)

Jnani Gurus approach spirituality through intellect, philosophy, and inquiry. They analyze existence through sacred texts, rigorous debate, and systematic frameworks, believing enlightenment can be attained through study and reason. Their teachings attract seekers who value knowledge and structured learning.

 

Yet intellect alone cannot dissolve the ego. Many remain trapped in concepts, mistaking logic for realization. While they eloquently explain enlightenment, they may not have directly experienced it. Intellectual spirituality, when tied to ambition, can devolve into a pursuit of influence rather than wisdom.

 

By blending psychology, philosophy, and spirituality, Jnani Gurus often reach large audiences through books, lectures, and social media. They organize complex ideas into accessible systems, shaping traditions and institutions that endure. Many of these gurus established spiritual schools and reformed religious practices, ensuring that their teachings endure for generations.

 

Despite their vast knowledge, these gurus often remain within the realm of intellectual understanding rather than direct realization. As the saying goes, they "know everything about the menu but have never tasted the food."  Words and concepts, while illuminating, can create barriers to deeper surrender - analysis can obstruct enlightenment, and intellectual pride can reinforce the illusion of knowing.

 

Historically, Jnani gurus often arise in times of spiritual decline, reviving lost traditions and correcting distortions in religious practice. But knowledge alone can only take a seeker to the threshold - it cannot replace the power of being. The presence of an enlightened being does what no book, ritual, or method can: it transmits truth directly, beyond words.

 

4. THE SIDDHA (MASTER OF POWERS)

Siddhas - revered masters from the yogic and tantric traditions - are often seen as perfected beings who have transcended ordinary human limitations through intense spiritual discipline and inner awakening. Known for unlocking extraordinary abilities known as siddhis, such as telepathy, levitation, and deep healing, they are perceived as having attained a heightened state of consciousness. Yet their true gift lies not in these supernatural feats but in their capacity to guide others toward liberation. With piercing clarity, love, and precision, Siddhas challenge illusions and inspire seekers to rise above ego, desire, and the material constraints of the world. Their path is marked by rigorous discipline, physical purification, and unwavering mental focus, leading to a mastery of both the self and subtle realms.

 

Many Siddhas draw large followings, as people are often drawn to their miraculous abilities and perceived access to divine power. They may heal the sick, predict future events, or defy physical laws - acts that captivate those seeking material relief or spiritual reassurance. However, these powers, while genuine, are not the endpoint of the path. They are tools - sometimes distractions. Mastery over energy and form does not necessarily equate to enlightenment. In fact, the very powers that mark a Siddha’s ascent can become obstacles if they inflate the ego rather than dissolve it.

 

There are Siddhas who, despite their attainments, fall prey to attachment, pride, or the desire to control. They may become possessive of their disciples, indulge in worldly pleasures, or conflate spiritual realization with the display of power. When unbalanced, a powerful Siddha can veer into illusion, mistaking influence for inner freedom. True transcendence lies not in the siddhis themselves but in the ability to move beyond them - to remain detached, centered, and surrendered to the divine. In this way, the Siddha reminds us that power is not the destination but a test along the path to true liberation.

 

5. THE AVADHUTA GURU (BEYOND-MASTER)

The Avadhuta is an enlightened being who transcends all worldly attachments, mental constructs, and social conventions. They may appear mad, wild, or even socially inappropriate, but their behavior stems from a deep inner illumination that defies worldly logic. They are unmoved by praise or criticism, and they often live in solitude or wander freely with no concern for status, reputation, or comfort.

 

The Avadhuta neither seeks disciples nor feels compelled to teach. Their very presence dissolves the illusions of the few who are ready and are naturally drawn to them. Their method is not to instruct but to shatter - to awaken through shock, paradox, humor, or silence. They may wander as beggars, live as hermits, or act in ways that seem irrational to the world. Yet beneath their apparent madness lies the highest wisdom - a state where all opposites merge, and existence flows through them without obstruction. 

 

The Avadhuta lives in a state of radical freedom. Their teachings and systems are not merely unconventional; they are revolutionary - teachings from a place far beyond intellectual or institutional frameworks. They strike at the root of conditioned thought, exposing not only the illusions of society but also the hidden dogmas within spiritual traditions. By defying all norms, they do not rebel - they reveal.  In their presence, one is invited to leap beyond belief and directly experience truth.

 

Society often fears the Avadhuta because they cannot be labeled or controlled. Some mistake their freedom for lawlessness, attempting to imitate their ways without undergoing the necessary inner purification. Others judge them through conventional standards, failing to see that their apparent madness is not chaos but the highest expression of divine order - where opposites dissolve and truth flows unobstructed through form.

 

Few are allowed into their presence, and fewer still can handle the intensity of their training. If an unprepared disciple enters their orbit, the chaos can be too great to bear - for both seeker and the guru.

 

6. THE SARVAGYA GURU (MASTER OF ALL PATHS)

The rarest of all gurus, the Sarvagya Guru, moves fluidly across all dimensions, drawing from vast experience accumulated over lifetimes. They do not follow one path; they prescribe a path tailored to the unique constitution (svabhava) and karmic structure (prarabdha karma) of each disciple, drawing spontaneously upon siddhis (spiritual capabilities), discriminative knowledge (viveka), and supra-rational insight (buddhi awakened beyond intellect).

 

Operating from pure consciousness, the Sarvagya Guru does not adhere to rigid doctrines. They weave new paths in real-time, responding directly to the seeker’s evolution.

 

Though they walk among us, they are not of this world. Free from attachment to power, recognition, wealth, or sensory pleasure, they use the material realm not for personal gain but as a mirror - demonstrating the principles of spiritual evolution through embodied action. Yet because they engage with form while being rooted in formlessness, the world often misinterprets their presence, projecting its own ambitions and insecurities onto them.

 

Unaffected by these projections, the Sarvagya remains anchored in maya-teeta - beyond illusion. They are neither confined by moral codes nor indifferent to them but function in alignment with the cosmic rhythm that governs all dharmic action. Operating from a plane where dualities dissolve, they transcend conventional morality - beyond right and wrong as the mind understands them.

 

They are not merely teachers but catalysts of transformation, shaping the consciousness of individuals and entire civilizations. Their purpose is not to entertain, heal, or comfort - it is to awaken. Their energy field reconfigures karmic patterns, alters temporal trajectories, and initiates a radical reorientation of consciousness.

 

For those unprepared, encountering a Sarvagya may be unsettling, even terrifying. Yet to the prepared disciple, they are the final portal: the satguru whose presence annihilates the false self and initiates the journey beyond form, thought, and separation. Their methods are unpredictable, for they do not operate from the limitations of thought but from absolute awareness. One moment, they may radiate boundless love; the next, they may ruthlessly shatter a disciple’s ego.

 

The disciple is not merely taught but transformed; not merely improved, but undone. Under their guidance, learning becomes transmutation. The disciple undergoes successive dissolutions - of identity, belief, and attachment - until only svarūpa (the innate Self) remains.

 

To those who approach with humility, sincerity, and readiness, the Sarvagya offers the rarest of gifts: a direct, unmediated transmission of satya (truth), capable of rewriting one’s very ontological foundation. Their presence is not an experience - it is the redefinition of existence itself.

 

OUR PATH

 

We are two female Indian-New Zealand Gurus - one an Avadhuta, the other a Sarvagya - offering tailor-made paths for the rare few, alongside futuristic systems and teachings rooted in timeless wisdom. Our path is not driven by ambition, praise, or acceptance. It is rooted in direct knowing and dharmic responsibility.

 

Throughout history, enlightened beings such as Pythagoras and the Buddha often veiled their teachings when the world was not yet ready to receive them. Their wisdom remained hidden, protected within sacred orders, awaiting a more receptive age.

 

Even if our words are dismissed in our lifetime and disappear from the material world, the frequency of our thoughts and visions remains imprinted in the Akashic Records - the universal field that records all events, emotions, intentions, and consciousness across past, present, and future.

 

AKASHIC RESONANCE

Only thoughts born of true originality are etched into this eternal library. And originality is rare - there is little that is truly new beneath the sun. While karmic, dharmic, and enlightened beings may all leave traces, only those whose thoughts carry a distinct frequency are recorded in full. The echoes of karmic cycles often dissolve, unworthy of permanence. What we leave behind can only be accessed by those who rise to the frequency we once held.

 

WHY ENLIGHTENMENT CANNOT BE MASS-PRODUCED

Workshops and seminars can uplift. Books and teachings can spark interest. But authentic transformation cannot be mass-produced. It cannot be transferred through second-hand knowledge or shared techniques.

It requires direct exposure to living wisdom - to a fully awakened being whose presence reshapes your inner architecture.

 

Whether a guru is known publicly or remains private, their most profound teachings are reserved for the innermost circle, the few disciples they walk with intimately. This is where the higher vibration of being, thought, and action is passed on through a relationship tailored to each disciple’s unique inner design.
