In india, a 41-year-old Japanese man has given up his lucrative business empire to pursue a life of spirituality. In the past, Hoshi Takayuki—now known as bala Kumbha Gurumuni—owned a prosperous chain of Tokyo-based beauty supply stores.
He is now a shiva devotee wearing saffron and traveling around uttarakhand barefoot. Mr. Takayuki was recently seen carrying sacred ganga water while taking part in the Kanwar yatra with 20 Japanese devotees. As part of his spiritual devotion, he also planned a two-day food camp in dehradun where he provided meals to fellow Kanwariyas.
Mr. Takayuki's spiritual journey started almost 20 years ago when he visited tamil Nadu and came across Nadi astrology, an old Siddha practice that uses palm-leaf manuscripts, according to a report in The Times of India. According to reports, the reading indicated that he was destined to pursue a career based on Hindu spirituality and had previously resided in the Himalayas.
But it was a vivid dream that marked a turning moment. "In a previous existence, I saw myself in Uttarakhand. Everything changed because of that dream," he told TOI.
Mr. Takayuki gave up his business and took on a new spiritual identity as a result of this event. He quickly constructed another shrine after transforming his tokyo house into a shiva temple. He went back to india in July to take part in the Kanwar Yatra.
Mr. Takayuki has also acquired 35 acres of property in Puducherry, where he intends to construct a significant shiva temple, according to his buddy Ramesh Sundriyal, who lives in japan and is of indian descent. There are also plans to open an ashram in Uttarakhand.
The 41-year-old tokyo native Hoshi Takayuki used to run a prosperous chain of 15 beauty supply stores in Japan. But in order to truly embrace Hindu faith and devotion to Lord shiva, he gave up his opulent lifestyle.
