Sriram Sir is currently in the capital city, Delhi. He is meeting the people of Delhi after a long gap. During his stay in Delhi in the past, he used to meet the then Presidents of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, Dr. K.R. Narayanan, and Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, as well as common and special people. Unlike other religious gurus or babas, he does not go among thousands or lakhs of people to speak his mind. He does not give sermons. He does not have his own ashram, monastery or sect. He lives as a normal citizen. But the world of his disciples is very vast.
Actually, Sriram Sir has come to the capital to attend a book launch program. The name of the book is ‘The Sacred Book of Divine Guidance’. In this, the author Narrenadtiya Komargiri discusses as to how Sriram Sir is changing the lives of people all over the world, inspiring people, motivating inactive people, and healing broken hearts. The book launch is taking place on coming 21 December.
Thousands of people gather during his workshops “I on I,” “Celebration of Life” or “Journey into Joy.” Now the question is who is Sriram Sir?
Some people also call him Bhagwan Sriram Sir. According to Narendraditya Komaragiri, the author of his biography “God Incognito: The Beginning”, “In his human form, Lord Sriram Sir has a doctorate in English and retired as a lecturer in English from the Institute of Electronics in Hyderabad in 2015. He is living a simple life with his family in Hyderabad.”
Sriram Sir’s ‘I on I’ workshop held at the prestigious Harvard University in Boston in September 2016 mesmerized the American participants. Millions of copies of many motivational books by Sriram Sir have been sold. Venkat Sundaram, former captain of the Delhi Ranji Trophy team and chairman of the pitch committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, is also among Sriram Sir’s disciples. He is one of the hosts of the book launch program. He claims that Sriram Sir has cured incurable cases of cancer and paralysis and has also given vision to an engineer who lost it in a cylinder blast at ECIL, Hyderabad. The engineer’s cornea and retina in both eyes were completely damaged, but after that he became completely normal. Sriram Sir can speak with full authority on every subject in the world from the Vedas to Aerospace. At a symposium held at Penn State University in the USA, 36 Nobel laureates in chemistry could not answer his questions on chemistry. Later he gave answers to those questions.
Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee met Sriram Sir in 1997. After that meeting, Atal Ji became his devotee. After that, with some more divine experiences, Vajpayee ji did not take much time to realize that Sriram Sir is actually the human form of God. Narendraditya Komaragiri makes all these claims.
Sriram Sir has created his own identity as a motivational speaker in the southern states of the country and abroad. Actually, there are many types of motivational speakers, and people are influenced by them for different reasons. Sriram Sir inspires his readers and listeners through his personal stories or stories of others. He talks about struggles, challenges, and successes that connect with the listeners emotionally. Narendraditya Komaragiri says that people are influenced by Sriram Sir because these stories seem real and believable. Listeners are also going through similar situations in their lives and these stories give them hope and courage. Thousands of IT professionals working in America and Europe are readers of Sriram Sir’s books. They are influenced by them because they show them a clear path to achieve their goals. They are motivated to recognize their potential and achieve it.
Sriram Sir says that in his motivational speeches he emphasizes positive thinking, gratitude, and optimism. He inspires his listeners to face their challenges with positivity. Of course, there is a time of great frustration in everyone’s life. At that time, he needs the support of a motivational speaker who can give a clear and powerful message.
