These are my own experiences with Guru Amritananda Natha Saraswati. The post is a bit long.
I'm from vizag, Andhra Pradesh, India. 23 year old. In 2023, I started my spiritual journey by chanting Hare Krishna maha-mantra. Due to that mantra, I have started experienced vibrations (kundalini)in my moola-dhara chakra. Chanting that mantra gives me an indescribable happiness, whatever tensions I had it used to remove it instantly after chanting it for 5 mins. In 2025 around august, I started doing lakshmi devi sadhana for around 41 days and gradually my interest in devi has increased day by day, one thing has led to another, finally led me to chanting lalita sahasranaama stotra during the time of navaratri. I started listening and reciting (listening and reciting both are equivalent) lalita sahasranaama stotra 3 times per day from the 2nd day of navaratri. I continued it until the end of december.
My experience with devi:
I had a beautiful experience with devi during the sadhana. It was friday, when i was chanting suddenly I had a intense desire to visit a sagar-durga temple(it was mentioned in guru autobiography), which i have rarely visited even though it is 10 mins drive. It was around 6 or 6:30 I reached the temple and the temple gate closes at 5:30 and temple is on top of a mountain and it is forest area, there aren't many street lights. While I had spent some time near the temple and thought to return to home, since it is getting dark. While I was getting down the staircase of the temple, I heard the anklet sounds of a woman, where there is no woman around me(except my sister who is beside me not making those noises). Those sounds are like chirpings of a bird, but yet it is not a bird, very easily distinguishable and can be said to noise of anklets of a woman. Even though I do sadhana, I'm a rational person who doesn't jump to conclusions without any analysis. I have a astrologer (a friend of mine) who is quite experienced in astrology and did a lot of sadhanas. He assured me that it was noise of anklets of devi through prashna shastra(A branch of astrology, given a question and the time of event happened, we can analyze the event). I have even described this experience to the priest, who described that anklets sound of devi sound exactly like the chirpings of the bird.
My first experience with Guru Amritananda Natha Saraswati:
By the end of december, I started chanting dattatreya siddha mangala stotra. Chanting it 11 times for 41 or 44 days.

This results of this stotra is that whenever you chant this stotra, there will be siddha purushas and yogis will be blessing you and guiding you in your spiritual journey and also fulfillment of your desires. My desire is that I want guru, knowledge and other materialistic things. It was the last day of 2025, during the night I had a dream of a having darshan of sri krishna and balaram in a mandir(almost looks like a typical iskcon temple) and then had a darshan of a person who has white beard completely and sitting in a meditative pose and told me I will give you information to gyana (knowledge), bhakti (devotion) and dhyana (meditation). I was sitting in front of him and listening very attentively and he told he will give me 2 pdfs. YES PDFS (online material). I said okay and dream ended there. Initially I thought it was my astrologer friend who came to my dream (he is almost 55 and has same type of beard and have few mystical powers), but it wasn't. After 5-8 days, I randomly got the pdfs of beginner course of devipuram through Scribd. Sacred Vak and Starters Regime. So I connected this to the dream.
My second experience with Guru Amritananda Natha Saraswati:
So I started researching about Guru and devipuram. I learned about his teachings and mantras he was published, so started chanting few of them, even though I was not regular or following a strict discipline. I was somewhat sad that I couldn't follow the sadhana properly, then one night in my dream again a person (old person) came to my dream
and wrote the mantra of panchadashi on a black board with white chalk piece and with a stick is teaching me how to spell it (even though I was listening to the mantra before hand). My focus was on the black board and the image of the person who was teaching me was hazy. Later on, I understood that it is guru amritananda natha saraswati. This happend around Feb 2026
My Third experience with Guru Amritananda Natha Saraswati:
I was regular in my sadhana, chanting the mantras, waking up early. One a particular day I woke up around 4 or 3:30am. Starting doing my sadhana and I have a habit of listening to the mantras even while I was asleep or doing any other work, even though the mind can't focus on it, the subconscious mind can understand it and rewire the brain. After I chanted panchadashi mantra, I felt intense intoxication, so relaxed (This happens with me even when i chant hare krishna mantra with intense concentration) that I just want to sleep. So, I left the guru paduka mantra recording in the background and felt asleep. This is not a dream, it's almost a astral visit or I dont know what to call it. I was sitting at the feet of Guru Amritananda Natha, who is sleeping very relaxed on a bed and told me you are already near my foot, so what is the use of that recording of mantra so stop it. I immediately woke up and stop the mantra and went back to sleep. This happend around march-april 2026
My fourth experience with Guru Amritananda Natha Saraswati:
It was friday, last week of may or maybe last before week. I along with my family visited temple of kanaka durga in vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. After the darshan is completed, we went back to our hotel and before sleeping I chanted few mantras out of those 9 mantras and slept. This time I had a dream that I was on a moving vehicle (maybe a train idk what it is) with many other people in the vehicle. I saw Guruji and Amma, I could very clearly see Amma's face, even though I never saw her in any of my dreams. I went to him and offered my obeisances, Guruji didn't talk to me. He was slient and serious, so I just went ahead and started chatting with one of the person (IDK, who is that person). That's the end.
I hope these experiences can help increase in your faith and sadhanas. I don't share any of my experiences, but I got a desire that maybe these experiences can help other sadhakas. Before I started entering into Sri vidya, I was a very intense bhakta of sri krishna, used to chant mahamantra for atleast 1-2 hours per day for almost 1.5-2 years. I think he(Shri krishna) is the reason why I'm into srividya and I was astonished when I learnt that radha rani herself, mentioned as hladini sakti by guru Amritananda Natha Saraswati, guided him for almost 14 years. So I think I should mention this connection. I hope this experiences will increase your faith.
