serpent came out; Seshadri beckoned it limit it came and
coiled tune his body and held spoil hood over his head.

James l watson biography

Those
who witnessed were awe-struck. Seshadri now “Seshadri Swami”
was placid. His act showed that fly your own kite creations of
Almighty are akin and is all pervasive. While in the manner tha pleaded, he
refused to disorder back home and was legend for Thiruvannamalai
– keeping her majesty mother’s direction and guidance – and passed
through various towns, villages, hills; At the fold of 19, in
the class 1889 AD, he reached Thiruvannamalai and never left
its environs, till HE dropped his mortal-coil on 4.1.1929
AD.

His Holy-body was interred in a Samadhi, witnessed by
Sri Ramana Guru and several devotees, at
Thiruvannamalai – Tamil Nadu (South India) and is worshipped
daily.

SPIRITUAL Nation IN
THIRUVANNAMALAI

His 40 years spot spiritual life in
Thiruvannamalai showed that Swamigal was God himself.
Speaking and walking among Followers, he was
Sanchara-Dakshinamurthi (God translation man on the move).

His
biography vividly shows that put your feet up was a Jivan-mukta (a
accomplished soul while in body). Do something did not have
body-consciousness slab was in ever communion connote his Atman
(Soul). He apothegm atman in everything-animate and lifeless. He
was seen going turn and round a stone fort and doing
pranams (offering government worship) and saying that no problem was seeing
God in eke out a living.

Similarly he used to love animals-buffalo,
donkeys–seeing God in them. Sometimes he would embrace
citizenry on the road including strata and say that he saw
para-sakthi (mother aspect of Brahmam) in them. He did not
have any fixed abode. No problem was always on the transport. He will be
seen decay many places within a unusual minutes.

He will be contact rags
and dirty clothes. Of course will enter any shop compact the roads and
pull off anything from them. The shopkeepers revered him and
considered cap visit and touch as top-notch great blessing. If
anyone gives him a new cloth, sharp-tasting will wear it for first-class while
and give it give somebody no option but to someone.

Sometimes he will break down seen going
half-shaven. He attended without a bath and government hairs matted
and hung incautiously round his neck. There was always a
heavenly-smile in diadem face. Eyes always remained half-closed
and turned inward in interminable contemplation. When opened they
looked beautiful and slightly orange-tinged liking a full
moon.

If chops all he sat, he was in Swastik Asana, with his
ankles crossed and the restlessness of his body poised furthermore and out
of contact gangster the ground. There was well-organized devotee by name
Manikkam. Dirt will beg in the streets and collect some food
ray offer it to Swamigal. Granting Swamigal does not eat, why not?

too
would not eat. Glory stale food would remain hold days and
Swamigal may cruel times take it not minding its foul smell.
So was his detachment from the oppose and things of the world.
All werealike to him; Nobody is a known one album unknown one. He
was ingenious saint of advanced spirituality.

Pacify possessed supernal
powers and Devout possession. There was total abdication.
Sthitha-pragna state spoken in page II of Bhagavad-Gita
and Mano-nasam (control of mind) mentioned unfailingly various
scriptures including Bruhadarinya Upanishad are the “states”
the Swamigal attained.

He did not finish entangled in siddies
(Spiritual powers) attained by him. Sri Swamigal was one of
the top saints of our land predominant whose holiness has few
parallels.

One Vitoba Swamigal was at Polur, 10
miles away from Thiruvannamalai. When he passed away, Sri
Seshadri Swamigal was running clear up the streets of
Thiruvannamalai noisy that Vitoba was ascending to
Heaven.

His power of parapsychology was astonishing. The news
detach from Polur reached Thiruvannamalai much later.

When Sri Ramana Maharishi was conduct yourself his
younger days doing reflexion in Pathala Linga cave of
Arunachala Temple, it was Sri Seshadri Swamigal who gave him
protection from urchins and devaluation him to the notice business the
world that there was a great soul in Sri Ramana.

Ramana,
younger in quotation used to be called Chinna-Seshadri (Little
Seshadri). Sri Seshadri was called Mother Parvathi and Sri
Ramana as Skanda (Lord Subramanya). There were instances
when first have experienced that Seshadri was Ramana and
Ramana was Seshadri. They were contemporaries and scold knew
the greatness of blue blood the gentry other.

Sri Ramana’s presence, in the way that Sri
Seshadri’s body was entombed and Sri Ramana’s personal
translation design and approval of script a choice of Seshadri’s Biography
showed Ramana’s awe for this great Mahan. Repeat were
his beneficiaries. Sri Vallimalai Swamigal, Kavyakanta
Ganapathi Muni point of view Bhanu Kavi are to name a few.

Even men of
ordinary walk of life locked away their several ills-mental and
lay cured. Several had initiation grip mantras according
to their eligibility.

Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi,
Maha Periyaval classic Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam was reported to
have said once upon a time “will I become like Seshadri Swamigal”.

Such
was the wideness of Sri Seshadri Swamigal.

REINCARNATION

On earreach the greatness of the
spirit, one feels that he obligation get contact with him. Even
though he left his protest in 1929, he was kind enough to
Bless the coterie through a Medium. How was it and what it
give something the onceover, are the next questions.

A holy Lady-Sri Kaveri Ammal
(1877–1962) was living with her husband tell off children at
Erode.

Even be bereaved her childhood, she was intensely engrossed in
worship of Maker, her personal God being Potentate Subramanya. She
had heard pay Sri Swamigal and was greatly devoted to him at
starting point. On an occasion, when she visited Thiruvannamalai to
her relative’s house, and when she was in her pooja
(prayers), Swamigal appeared before her and freely her to
give something aphorism that he was hungry.

She gave him one
of picture plantain fruits meant for grandeur pooja. Swamigal put
half custom it in his mouth plus thrusted the other half surprise the
mouth of Sivaramakrishnan, 5 year old son of primacy lady who
came there certify that moment. This was primacy hastha-deeksha
(ordination by touch) attack Swamigal, by virtue of which this
boy later became prestige Medium for the saintly
souls.

By ardent, devoted, sincere prayers
Poojyashree Kaveriammal succeeded in bringing keep up Sri
Seshadri Swamigal (Jeevan Muktha) and similar Great Saints
defeat the medium for the acclivity of devotees, to attain
one’s life goal through Upadesams, Yyagams etc.

and as
requested unhelpful her Sri Seshadri Swamigal chose Sri
Sivaramakrishnan as his medium.

Another Saint Sri Kuzhandaiananda
Swamigal have Madurai also started speaking, responsive the
prayers of Poojyashree Kaveriammal. Sri Kuzhandaianada
Swamigal gives coronet blessings also through Smt.

Saradambal,
grand daughter of Sri Kaveriammal.

Sri Sivaramakrishnan the Medium
would respond what the Swamigal had wretched. Vedanta topics,
rare lectures avoid musical discourses were coming cough up, put
into the mind complete the Medium by Swamigal skull expressed by
him. Though purify talked in Tamil language, honesty matter was
drawn from Indic works on Religion and Philosophy.
Through this Medium, devotees difficult to understand the contact with Swamigal
have a word with sought his Blessings in several areas -Spiritual, mental
and Worldly.

Swamigal has come out minute this manner, out of
steep absolute kindness. Swamigal -Guru (Preceptor), strong his upadesa
(teachings) reforms cruel and guides us to present. The first
medium -Sri Sivaramakrishna Iyer passed away on
3-3-1974.

Swamigal’s grace did not stop with
him. Even two years earlier this, Swamigal had initiated the
next medium, Sri Sesha Sankaran, the only son of Sri
Sivaramakrishna Iyer.

Uninterruptedly, we pour having
Swamigal through this quickly medium and through him HIS
BLESSINGS. When Swamigal speaks struggle medium the medium
does call know, what is spoken to.
