• On 5 July 2022, at 12:23 pm, Chandrashekhar Guruji was brutally murdered by two men named Manjunath Marewad and Mahantesh Sirur at a private hotel in the Hubballi district of Karnataka. The two men, who were posing as his followers, stabbed him to death with a knife in full public view. Apparently, Guruji was visiting Hubballi to attend the funeral rites of a child in his family. In the reception of the hotel, where Guruji was sitting in a chair, one of the men posed to touch his feet for blessings, while the other pulled out a knife concealed in a white cloth and started stabbing him. Although Chandrashekhar was immediately taken to KIMS hospital, he was declared brought dead there. The assailants, who had run away from the crime scene, were later arrested in Ramdurg, Belagavi, Karnataka.

• Mahantesh Sirur was a former employee of Sarala Vastu, where he looked after Guruji’s finances. Reportedly, Chandrashekhar ran a real estate business, constructing houses and apartments as per Vastu, under the guise of which he held disproportionate assets in the name of his employees, including Sirur. After Sirur quit his job at Sarala Vastu in 2016, Chandrashekhar forcefully tried to recover the assets worth crores of rupees from Sirur, which provoked Shirur to commit his murder. Manjunath Marewad was also a former employee of Guruji. ^[7]The New Indian Express Vanajakshi, Shirur’s wife, also worked in Sarala Vastu from 2005 to 2019. Although she was detained by the police for a while, she was soon released. While talking about his husband’s gruesome crime to the media, Vanajakshi said,
  

  Guruji was a good man and my husband did a mistake by killing him. There was no dispute between us over financial issues. I don’t know about Guruji’s properties which are in my husband’s name. For the last 4-5 days he had not returned home. When I asked him, he said he was busy.”

• Chandrashekhar Guruji promoted the philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which means that the entire universe is one family. ^[8]Saral Vaastu
