When Sathyaraju successfully completed the 12-year long intense and arduous ‘tapas’, guided by his Guru (Lord Shiva in the form of a Jangama), Lord Shankar Bhagwan manifested in front of him along with Goddess Mother Parvathi.

Having convinced themselves that this young yogi does not have any selfish desire or ambition of his own, they blessed him with spiritual powers. Lord Shiva gave him the title ‘Shri Shri Shri Shivabalayogeeshwara’ and proclaimed that Shivabalayogi’s mission would be to awaken the dormant spirituality in people. He shall use his ‘tapas shakti’ spiritual powers obtained through his tapas to serve the public in general without regard to religion, caste or creed and help those on the spiritual path to gain liberation from the worldly illusion. To accomplish this mission, the yogi should travel and give darshan to the people to wean them away from materialism and bring them onto the path of spirituality. He should initiate those who seek God into meditation and guide them so they can gain liberation in this life. He should comfort those who grieve and heal the sick by giving them vibhuthi, ash blessed with spiritual and healing powers.
