Pudukottai bhuvaneswari amman temple3/21/2024 In a society where dresses play an important role and half naked itself is considered as a nuisance.Īfter taking up the Sanyasam, Swamigal planned to visit the temples around and first decided to visit Nerur Sadhasiva Brahmendra Saraswathi Swamigal ‘Adhishtanam’ (Adhishtanam is a place where a saint is usually buried). But following such a practice in South India cannot be imagined at all. It may be a way that was used to the public people living around Himalayas where several saints perform their penance without dress and people are used to it. When he got up, the cloth fell down due to his guru’s blessings and he stood there as ‘Avadootha Swamigal’ and he became ‘Sri Swayam Prakasa Saraswath Avadootha Swamigal’ (henceforth referred here as ‘Swamigal’).Īvadootha Ashram is not an easy approach for Sanyasis’. He did a ‘Prathakshanam’ (going around) around his mother for 3 times and fell flat (Namaskaram) before his mother. At that time, he was wearing only a ‘loin cloth’. Krishnamurthy walked 72 miles to reach his mother. He also gave the instructions that need to be followed before and after taking the Sanyasam. He enquired about Krishnamurthy’s family members and asked him to get the permission of his mother on the spot and can take up the Sanyasam before his mother only. He also felt that this Krishnamurthy had the required potential to follow ‘Avadootham’ and Sanyasam. He also requested Judge Swamigal to take him as a disciple and provide ‘Deeksha’ to take up the Sanyasam.īeing a Mahan, Judge Swamigal realized the fire inside Krishnamurthy. Krishnamurthy reached Madurai and met Judge Swamigal and detailed about his thoughts and his preparedness to take up Sanyasam. He was well respected for his strict disciplines and his determinations. He resigned his post and took up the Sanyasam following the ‘Avadootha school of Ashram’. Judge Swamigal got this name because of his earlier profession as a judge. Krishamurthy heard about a Mahan ‘Judge Swamigal’ who was staying in Madurai that time. But his parents asked him to come to his native first and hence Krishnamurthy decided to go to the village in person to get their permission. Krishnamurthy wrote a letter to his parents to grant him the required permission for becoming Sanyasi. His Guru smiled at him and told that he should get the blessings and permission from his parents to attain the Sanyasam which is mandatory. In Hindu rituals, Sanyasam can be granted only by a ‘Guru’ and that too by following proper rituals. He requested his guru to give ‘Deeksha’ which is a ritual process to recognize a person as ‘Sanyasi’. Though Krishnamurthy assured his parents that he will return on 96th day, his mind was restless and was thinking more about Sanyasam (sainthood). His parents’ heavy heartedly left Kashi without knowing what was in the store! Krishnamurthy informed and assured them that he will come back to their village on the 96th day from then. The ashram informed his parents about the same and they rushed to Kashi and requested him to come back with them. During this time, Krishnamurthy’s health also deteriorated. He learnt more about the vedhas for 3 years. During his childhood, his father moved from Kalpattu to a small village ‘Aduthurai’ on the banks of Cauvery in Tanjore district.Īfter resigning the job, Krishnamurthy reached Kashi and became a student of Sri Dakshinamurthy Swamigal. Swamigal’s purvashrama name was ‘Krishnamurthy’. His parents were Sriramaswamy Sastrigal and Smt. He was born with 3 brothers and 2 sisters. Swamigal was born in a village ‘kalpattu’ (a village at a distance of around 16 kms from Vilupuram and close Thirukovilur in Tamilnadu) on 28-11-1871. The jeevasamadhi is located 1.5 kms south of Senthamangalam.Ībout Shri Swayamprakash Avadootha Swamigal: You can go into meditative states here effortlessly.
