Who Is Hoshi Takayuki? Japanese Man Leaves Empire Behind To Become A Shiva Devotee In Uttarakhand
The race to earn wealth is never going to end. Hoshi Takayuki understood this many years ago. Today he has left this race. Hoshi was once a well-known name in Japan’s beauty industry. He used to be the owner of a chain of 15 beauty stores. He has now completely changed the path of his life. Now, Hoshi Takayuki is known as ‘Bala Kumbha Gurumuni’. Inspired by dreams of being a Himalayan sage in his previous life and the revelations of Nadi astrology, he has turned to spirituality. This change in him is not just personal. Of course, it also presents a business perspective.
Takayuki, who set out on a journey of spiritual discovery in Uttarakhand, once used to run a chain of 15 beauty stores in Tokyo. Now he has become Bala Kumbha Gurumuni. He is a great devotee of Shiva. He looked different in the sea of saffron color on the Kanwar Yatra route of Haridwar. His faith and devotion towards Lord Shiva surprised many people.
How did life change?
Hoshi Takayuki’s transformation began after a visit to a Nadi astrology center in Tamil Nadu about 20 years ago. There, predictions made on palm leaves revealed his past life. He learned that he was a sage from the Himalayas. He was called to return to Hindu spirituality. Recurring dreams of Uttarakhand changed his life.
Came to India after handing over the business
Takayuki handed over his business in Tokyo to his followers. He converted his home into a Shiva temple. A second nadi reading confirmed his spiritual name – Bala Kumbha Gurumuni. This strengthened his resolve even more.
35 acres of land has been purchased for the Shiva temple
Now Hoshi is in India with 20 followers. He is serving free food to fellow kanwariyas at a camp in Dehradun. According to Ramesh Sundriyal, a long-time friend and Japan-based Indian consultant, his vision goes far beyond the yatra. Hoshi is planning to build an ashram in Uttarakhand. He has also bought 35 acres of land in Puducherry for a grand Shiva temple.
According to Bala Kumbha Gurumuni, his mission is to trace the roots of his soul and build Shiva temples across India. The visit of 20 Japanese followers with Hoshi to India shows his ‘influence’ and ‘network’.
