What is the story of Hoshi Takayuki?

According to the information, Hoshi Takayuki came to Tamil Nadu about 20 years ago. During this time he came across Nadi Jyotish. This is an ancient Siddha tradition, in which the details of a person's life are obtained through manuscripts written on palm leaves. It is believed that these manuscripts are thousands of years old.

When Hoshi got these palm leaves read, he was told that his previous life was spent in the Himalayas and it was his destiny to adopt Hindu spirituality . It was written in these leaves that your previous life was in Uttarakhand. Shortly after, he had a dream in which he saw himself in a village in Uttarakhand, from here the direction of his life changed.

The house was converted into a Shiv temple

Deeply influenced by this experience, he handed over the reins of his successful business to his followers and adopted a spiritual life, naming himself “Bala Kumbha Gurumuni”. He not only converted his residence in Tokyo into a full-fledged Shiva temple , but also established another new Shiva temple in Japan. Apart from this, he is now building a grand Shiva temple on 35 acres of land in Puducherry, India. Also, he is planning to establish an ashram in Uttarakhand.
