Sudarsana’s Life Story
WELCOME TO MY JOURNEY
1. Early Life & Roots
I was born in Manly, Sydney, Australia. My parents were migrants from Greece, from an area called Trikala. The amazing thing is that they were from villages on the other side of the mountain, and they met in Sydney, Australia, in the year 1964.
The villages were only a few kilometres from each other. So during their whole childhood, they never met. They only met on the other side of the world, in a far distant place called Australia. After one year, my parents decided to get married, and they had three children, and I was the youngest.
My father was from a very religious family. My father had a younger brother who became a monk in the monasteries of Kalambaka, the high, mountainous, rocky region with the beautiful churches and monasteries on top. That amazing place is featured in one of the earlier James Bond films. Two of my father’s younger sisters became nuns as well in the monastery. And my mother was from a very religious family as well. She is a regular attender of church and goes there on a weekly basis, and sometimes a few times a week.
2. The Childhood Awakening
I remember one life changing events when my mum took my elder two brothers and me to the Greek church at Crows Nest in Sydney, Australia.
I remember during that service, I was looking at the statue of Jesus in front of the church and then I started pointing at the statue and said to myself –
“I want to be just like you”
and then I repeated again,
“I just want to be just like you”
and a third time I repeated,
“I want to be just like you.”
During this period of my life, I recall that I was learning to think for myself, speak a little, and walk. It was around ages 2-3. I was not very developed as a child, but I knew the goal of my life. During this time, I was absolutely inspired and knew my direction in life: to become somebody who would do my little part to improve other people’s lives and my own life as well.
This special and mystical event created the foundation of my life as I know it today, which is in assisting and improving the lives of others in relation to their body, mind, spirit, and helping them to pursue their own goals, dreams and visions.
3. Questions that shaped my path
During my younger years, I used to think a lot about my life, other people’s lives, and the environment around me. I used to think a lot about the lives of my family members as well, namely my mother, father, and my two brothers. I used to question things a lot as well.
I asked questions like:
- What’s the purpose and goal of life?
- Where have I come from?
- Where am I going?
- What will happen to us after this life?
- What would be the best way to live my life?
- What is my part in this planet?
- How could I live this life the best way I possibly can?
- Is there a God?
- And how would He want us to live?
- And many other questions I would ask myself.
I would be in search of the answers, and I would find the answers either from within or an external lesson.
I would be going within myself and asking all these questions and asking for an answer.
I would be praying and asking the universe and the creator for answers to all my questions.
All the answers to my questions came at different times in the early part of my life as well as to date. Actually, I think I got the answers to my questions at exactly the right time that I needed the answers to manifest.
So I realised that I was guided every moment in my life. I was confident that there was a higher power guiding me and inspiring me to take the right steps and actions at any given point.
4. Discovering Eternity
I remember when I was first going to school, I was thinking, “What’s the purpose of all this and how would this help us not in this life but in the next?”
I was convinced that there was a continuity element to us. That there was a permanent aspect to our life. That there was no end. And each part of our life was part of our grand journey to perfection. I remember at one point in my childhood when I was around about three or four years old. I was in the back of my mum and dad’s car, and I was thinking about death. I was thinking about how sad it would be if my mother or father were to die. I was asking myself all these questions. I felt great pain, sadness and depression while thinking these thoughts.
Then I was thinking more deeply about this and then I realised to myself, what if our life was eternal and if this body was just a machine, a vehicle that we were in and this machine has a duration of life just like the car we are in now. I really thought and thought and thought about this concept and then I thought if this is real, then why would we need to worry and be sad and depressed because we’re eternal. We could always be blissful, content, peaceful and confident. And then I started to compare my thoughts.
The first thought when our body dies, we die and then I would gauge the feeling I would get and I would always be feeling sadness, depression and pain.
And then I would start to think we are eternal and we live forever and there is not stop to life. And then I started to feel very, very, very blissfully happy, safe, secure and confident.
So, from this experiment as a young child, I was convinced that we were eternal.
And during my childhood, I performed many experiments like this. I would ask myself questions and then I would ask the higher power, the universe, the supreme, to guide me to the answer. And then I would receive the answer either directly at that given time or at the right time a little later. I’ve had so many experiences like this in my life, and I will be sharing some with you now and in the future, as you get to know me better.
5. Guidance that Shaped My Future
Another experience was when I was in high school at a school in Manly called St Paul’s College Manly. I had a teacher called Mr McKinnon, and he was my pottery and ceramics teacher as well as my religious education teacher. He was a lovely man.
From what I recall, he was in his late 60s or early 70s. I was very drawn to him and I liked him a lot. I was very inspired by the religious class and I was always looking forward to going to it.
One time Mr McKinnon pulled me to the side after class and he said:
“Spiros, there’s something very special about you. I think that you’re going to grow up and become a spiritual leader and help the world or even become a priest. And I think whatever you will do you will help a lot of people.”
I replied, “Thank you so much for telling me that. I really appreciate what you said. This has inspired me very much. Actually I feel very strongly about this within my soul. And I feel this is my destiny and this will happen naturally.”
I remember my high school life from years seven onwards. There were four classes in each year. So, for example, in year 7, there were four classes. And in year 8 there were four classes, and so on.
So at the beginning of each year there was a class vote. Each student put in the name of one other student in the class that they would like to become the class leader, or what was called at that time “student prefect.”
6. Leadership & Service
I was surprised to know that I was voted as the class captain. And once all of the class captains were selected, there was a vote for who would be the year captain or year leader.
To my surprise again, I was voted the year leader or captain. During this time, I was thinking, “Why was I selected?”
Actually, I had no desire or motivation to be the year leader, but it just happened, so I accepted this as fate and service to my peers.
I did the very best I could to be an inspiration for all the other fellow students and help them in any way I could, and to be a good example for everyone in the year.
And this happened every year that i was at school, I was elected to be the year and the class leader and I kept on with my service of leading and inspiring the other fellow students to do their best and be their best.
7. Different Groups, One Journey
I also recall that during these years at school, different groups of students would associate together.
- For example, there was a group of surfers; they had their own interest, which was surfing and they hung out together.
- And then there was another group of students who associated together who were into athletics.
- And there was another group of Gosticks.
- And there was an intellectual group.
8. Connecting with Everyone
So I naturally went and associated with everyone in every group and I became welcome everywhere. And I was visiting every group in this way. I was welcome and they welcomed me.
They were comfortable and I was comfortable as well. So I went through my schooling like this. I was accepted by everyone and everyone except me as well……wholeheartedly. I realised that in my mind and heart I had no envy nor any judgement of anyone and in return they did not judge me and therefore accepted me.
And during my schooling, I became good friends with the school principal as well as all the teachers. The School principal repeatedly said to me that you would become the school captain if you remain here at this school. He said that you have all the qualities and natural abilities we need for a school captain.
I also recall during my childhood that I loved to read spiritual, esoteric, philosophical, and religious books and doctrines. This was my main interest and passion.
9. The Search for Truth
In devoting my life solely to studying and understanding the universe, the supreme, and helping others in relation to understanding the universal laws, assisting them to improve their body mind and spirit.
1. The Prayer
This event took place one Sunday morning after winning a surfing competition the day before. I was sitting down Manly Beach alone on the rock wall which was going across the whole beach. I was sitting and looking out to the sea and out to the horizon. I was crying in my heart and praying in the deepest and most intense way I have ever done in my entire life. I was crying and crying and praying from within my soul to the supreme to please guide me here and now as to what my life’s purpose and mission and what he wants me to do for the rest of my life.
2. The Answer Arrives
Miraculously, an answer was given to me at that exact point in time. My prayers and crying was answered. I was amazed. I was in awe and reverence as to how the universe answers our sincere cries.
A lady dressed in an Indian saree and had three children with her came up to me and tapped me on the shoulder and said
“Would you like a book”
I said “yes”, and I received this book, and I felt the answer had come to me in the form of this book.
3. Raja Vidya
The book was called “Raja Vidya” in Sanskrit.
In English, it was translated as “The King of Knowledge.
I began to read the first page, and immediately I realised that I had found the answer, and this answer created the foundation for my life’s mission.
So this childhood event created the foundation of my life’s mission and purpose.
10. Becoming a Monk & Finding the Guru
Leaving Home
I completed school, and I left home with nothing more than a small case and the clothes on my back, and I joined the temple and became a monk.
I departed for India in search of my teacher and master to fully train and enlighten me in knowledge and realisation of the absolute truth.
Journey to India ॐ
“I departed for India in search of my teacher and master”
Finding the Guru
After some time, I had found my eternal Teacher, Master, and Guru.
When I saw him, I immediately realised he was my eternal spiritual teacher and guide. He trained me in the science of self-realisation and knowledge of the Absolute in relation to the universal laws which govern and control matter and spirit within the material and spiritual realms.
I received my initiations from my spiritual master. He gave me my spiritually initiated name “Sudarsana”, and I was instructed to teach, guide, and uplift humanity and the planet.
This initiation was a mystical and life-changing event in itself. I will explain to you now how it happened.
Receiving the Name-“Sudarsana”
I was thinking what name my spiritual master would give me, and I remembered and thought of a name that he could potentially call me. And the first name that came to my mind was Sudarsana, and this name stuck in my mind and soul. I was fixated on this name. I could not think of any other name that he would call me. I became 100% committed.
So during this ceremony, my Guru called me up, and he said, “I initiate you, and your name is Sudarsana.” I was excited and blissfully shocked at the same time.
Sudarsana means:
“Servant of the all attractive supreme being”
also its the most powerful fire disc weapon of the lord called the “Sudarsana chakra”.
Also sudarsana creates all the universes, galaxies, eternality, knowledge and bliss in the material and spiritual realms.
Mystical Revelation
Before the initiation, I knew what my eternal spiritual name was, and my Guru did as well. It was one of the most amazing mystical, metaphysical, and esoteric experiences I have ever had in my life.
I knew what my eternal representation was, and my Guru did as well. It was like all knowledge was revealed, and I knew the past, present, and future.
After the ceremony, my Guru called me into his room, and I discussed this event with him. I said to him that I knew this was my eternal name, and you called me this name as though you were reading my mind and heart, and he replied:
"Thus began the journey of Sudarsana, dedicated to uplifting humanity and the planet."
So I embarked on this journey from birth till today.
