Guruji Ramakrishnan, known as the Atma Guru, had a strong belief in God since his childhood. He loves and considers every living being as a pure soul. So, his Guru gave him the title “Athma Guru”.

A divine explanation of “Atmaguru” is: ATMA = SOUL, GURU = GUIDE OF GOOD LIFE. The Atmaguru guides people to live happily, safely, and healthily with divine grace among all beings in the universe. He lives in the soul (Atma) of all lives.

All beings take Jenmas (rebirths) on this earth to experience their Karma — good or bad — from past lives. In daily life, humans face problems such as money, health, relationships, disease, childbirth, and peace — all due to Karma. We pray to God for solutions, but not all problems are resolved. The reason is that Karma must be removed first.

Who can remove one’s Karma? Only those who know the ancient sciences of the four Yugas — Kreta, Treta, Dwapara, and Kali Yuga — can do so through Gnana Marg, Bhakti Marg, Yoga Marg, and Tantra Marg.

Those divine beings are Sri Dattatreya Maharishi and his main disciple Lord Sri Parashurama — the only divine masters who can remove Karma. They are the Rishi, Guru, and Lord in one.

The Atmaguru, who stands in this Sri Dattatreya–Sri Parashurama Guru Lineage, removes the Karma and obstacles of his disciples through his spiritual powers and ancient science methods. He teaches Upasana and Meditation to his followers, showing the way to a stress-free and peaceful life.

The Atmaguru is a powerful upasaka of Lord Parameswar, Dattatreya, Parashurama, and Dasa Maha Vidyas. He spent most of his life in forests and mountains, deeply devoted to spiritual practice.

He is also a researcher in Astronomy, Yoga, Meditation, Vedas, Tantra Yogas, and Siddha Medicines. He has mastered the Pancha Bootha (Five Elements: Water, Earth, Fire, Sky, and Air) and uses this divine knowledge to serve humanity selflessly. He also has the rare power to heal mentally disabled persons through Siddha and Tantra Yoga.

Atmaguru is the first child of his parents, who had no children for ten years. They walked about 200 km to Guruvayur, Kerala, and prayed sincerely. That night, Guruji’s mother dreamt of an old man with white hair and a beard, who gave her a small axe and disappeared. Soon after, Guruji was conceived — and hence named Ramakrishnan (a combination of Parashurama and Guruvayur Krishna).

During childhood, Guruji built small temples, made Shiva Lingams, and worshipped them while others played with toys. Later, guided by destiny, he met great Gurus — Srila Sri Krishnaraja Namboothiri and Srila Sri Parameswaran Namboothiri — in Kerala, belonging to the Dattatreya–Parashurama lineage. Guruji lived in Gurukul for seven years and learned the arts of Magic, Tantra, Astrology, Panchapakshi, and Vaasi Yoga.

Following his Guru’s command, Guruji went to Haridwar, worshipped Lord Bilkeshwar Mahadev, and meditated in the mountains. One evening, he met an old man with white hair and beard who stayed overnight with him. In the morning, the old man had disappeared — leaving behind a wooden axe. Guruji realized it was a divine blessing from Lord Parashurama himself. That sacred axe is still worshipped in his Ashram.

After completing seven years of Gurukul life, Guruji returned to Tamil Nadu and began working to fulfill his Guru’s vision — to build a great temple and Ashram to spread the fame of Sri Dattatreya–Sri Parashurama. This mission is called “SAKTHI LOKH”.

The SAKTHI LOKH Project is designed entirely by Atmaguru based on his deep experience and profound knowledge of ancient science. Since 2013, he has been researching and developing this divine project.

Under the SAKTHI LOKH mission, a grand temple and Ashram will be built with a unique spiritual philosophy and infrastructure unlike anywhere else in the world — dedicated to the divine lineage of Sri Dattatreya and Sri Parashurama.

Guruji has initiated more than five thousand students through Deeksha and trained them in the sacred art of Tantricism. Students from across India and from countries such as Australia, France, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and London come to learn under his guidance.

Guruji’s vision is that every person should understand the greatness of this art, learn it, and serve society with wisdom and compassion.

“This ancient science is the only way to remove Karma and obstacles in Kali Yuga and to lead humanity toward peace, health, and spiritual awakening.”
