Born in Kappatralla

The Mission
A trinity: Lord Shiva, Goddess Shakthi, and Shirdi Sai Baba
The mission centres on Lord Shiva as the true self, Goddess Shakthi as the means to attainment, and Shirdi Sai Baba as guru and guide. Ramaneswaram gives an appeal about the importance of this trinity worship without confining it to a specific region or religion — inviting every seeker to explore how the three relate in their own life.
