Shailesh who had an inclination towards spirituality approached the Palimaru seer, after completing his SSLC, and expressed his desire to become his disciple and dedicate his life worshipping Lord Rama and Krishna. “I was elated when the seer agreed, and checked the horoscope and it matched. There was no objection from my home too as they know my determination,” he said.
