His Holiness Srimath Paramahamsa Parivrajakacharya
Sri Sri Sri Yogishwara Swami
Birth and Spiritual Heritage
Sri Yogi was born on August 18, 1975, in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, the sacred land of Sree Padmanabhaswamy. This region has deep spiritual roots, with an ancient tradition founded by Sri Atmarama Swami in 596 AD, which still influences temples and spiritual centers in the area. Sri Yogi's family is intricately linked to this lineage, with many sadhus and rishis from his ancestry attaining Samadhis at renowned temples, continuing the spiritual heritage in the present day.
Early Life and Struggles
Sri Yogi spent his early years at various family homes. He first lived with his great-grandmother at Moopanvilakam, Murukkumpuzha. He later moved to his grandfather's house at Thopil, Murukkumpuzha, until he was three years old. At age four, the family settled in their own home, Murukkumpuzha.
At the age of seven, Sri Yogi was diagnosed with epilepsy, which severely affected his physical and mental health. He underwent treatment at the Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram. By the age of nine, his condition worsened, and he nearly collapsed.
Spiritual Transformation
During his challenging health battle, Sri Yogi met two transformative sadhus who significantly altered the course of his life. With the unwavering support of his mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, he embarked on a spiritual quest. At the age of ten, Sri Yogi started his search for the Divine Goddess Kali, which led him to meet his Guru, Srimath Paramahamsa Ananda Sri Sri Kalidasa Swami, in Pillathadam, Maruthwamalai, Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu. Under the guidance of his Guru, Sri Yogi not only overcame his medical condition but experienced spiritual enlightenment. Around age 15, Sri Yogi began developing divine vision, enabling him to foresee events in his family’s future. Seeking more profound knowledge, he spent six months and seven and a half days in Samadhi under the tutelage of Kalidasa Swami, a famous Siddha. Kalidasa Swami advised him to fulfill his worldly duties before fully embracing the spiritual path, prompting Sri Yogi to work overseas while nurturing his spiritual growth.
Educational and Spiritual Milestones
After years of recovery and spiritual guidance, Sri Yogi returned to education and successfully completed his 10th grade in March 1994 after three attempts. Despite the challenges, he continued to pursue his educational and professional journey, always with the blessings of his Guru.
The Establishment of Sri Sahasrara Yogishwara Swami Mahapeetham
In 2011, Sri Yogi founded the Sri Sahasrara Yogishwara Swami Mahapeetham, a charitable trust committed to upholding his family's spiritual legacy. As the 45th Peetathipati, he continues to carry the weight of this hallowed seat of knowledge and spreads his spiritual teachings globally.
