Just few words...
Shri ATHIGURU, periya ejamaan, the origin of the spiritual dynasty, chose our SARGURU and blessed with Mahadarshan while he was returning from the school along with two schoolmates en-route to railway station on a holy evening at thiruthuraipundi, on the bank of the river near the mayanam (burial ground). In that sacret moments the ATHIGURU laid the spiritual foundation on SARGURU. That is the seed for SARGURUS enormous evolution of his entire life. I think let us talk about ATHIGURU in detail later as there is no historical evidence, only conveyed by the holy GURUS. Certainly we will convey as time goes.
The ATHIGURU peedam situated in Andalpuram in Nagapattinam dist in Tamilnadu.
Shri Madapuram ejamaan, Shri DHAKSHNAMURTHY swamigal, the ANUGRAHA GURU, mahasamadhi(JEEVA samadhi) is at madapuram, tiruvarur in Tamilnadu. Lots of books published to glorify his entire being. He,the symbol of purity, SUTHA SIVAM, the eternal bliss.
Shri marudhur ejamaan, Shri SIVAPRAKASA swamigal lived in marudhur near mannargudi. The guru shishya relationship between swamigal and sarguru was glorious one. He blessed and guided SARGURU with lots of affection. The mother just lives opposite to the GURUPEEDAM, even today remembers the spiritual days and how SARGURU is loyal and humble to SWAMIGAL. The Ganesar upasanai which SARGURU used to give his disciples and devotee was blessed by SWAMIGAL to SARGURU i heard.
The PARAMAGURU,Shri Andalpuram swamigal alias Shri RAJAGOPALA Swamigal who started penance in yalpanam in Srilanka,moved to Andalpuram,near nagapattinam,in tamilnadu,stayed in ATHIGURU PEEDAM in andalpuram in the middle of paddy fields without road or any amenities for the hole life more than 60 years.Every month used to walk to mannargudi Shri Rajagopala swamigal temple by barefoot,never travelled in any vehicle and allowed anybody to touch him.Many people saw him for long years explain with surprise that he looked like the same shape for more than 60 years.One of our co-disciple Nellivanam gathered lots of experiences from various devotees and peoples,trying to publish a book on PARAMAGURUS life.He attained mahasamadhi,made ARUNALAYAM in komal near tiruvarur as his GURUPEEDAM.
The SARGURU,Shri ARUNACHALA swamigal,my soul,born in a hamlet,pudur,in tiruvarur district.His parents in this birth,thiru Chakrapani and srimadhi Kamalambal.The young boy had the dharshan of Shri ATHIGURU in his school days and had changed the course of his life.The young boy started to sit alone and meditated himself inside,remain with the thurst for THAI (AMBAL) dharshan.How it happened?how he got transformed? All will be established on HIS own voice very soon,still working on the technical side.
After that he was embrassed by his GURUS,Shri marudhur SIVAPRAKASA Swamigal,Shri madapuram DAKSHNAMURTHY Swamigal,Paramaguru Shri Andalpuram RAJAGOPALA Swamigal. Andalpuram swamigal and Sarguru are almost like two sides of the same,like positive and negative.The Sarguru used to undertake the disciples and devotees,where Shri Paramaguru used to ashirwadh.In the path of the twos,lots of difficulties,tough situations from many quarters.
The Sarguru used to sing or make others to sing old cinema songs,whichever familiar to common people,till 4 o clock in the morning from around 9 pm.He used to play harmonium and pulpulthara.Devotees used to play gadam and morsing.There is a mystry,why cinema songs? Let me put it in his own words....
"If I tell to sing Devaram and Thiruvasagam,how many of you can do?whats the way out?the cinema songs are familiar and will be played everywhere,so you can hear whatever you are doing and wherever you are.if you hear,what you will think...?oh...this is my song,that means you will think about me,ultimately that thinking will go to the glory feet of the Holy MOTHER (AMBAL).Thats why i selected these songs,though they are cinema songs imagine the relationship of Holy MOTHER and it will lead you to HER.May be cinema songs are normal words but the Bhavanai (bhavam) is important and holy.This is a fast world,you will be in different places,in different work,but you have to remain in THAIs feet.
The MASTER,THAI,SOUL,EJAMAAN everything.we bow our head to his HOLY FEET.
The LOVE....,LOVE FOR LOVESAKE is the way to reach the THAI,the eternal,everlasting,supreme being.
The NIRVANA Swamigal who ,beleived to be the reincornation of DAKSHNAMURTHY Swamigal lived in and around the MUTT in tiruvarur.He faced resistence from the people in the initial stages,but later everybody understood his eternal mindset and supremacy.His PEEDAM situated in Vilamal near tiruvarur.
My friend,philosopher and guide Shri VEDASALAM Swamigal,one of the senior disciple of Sarguru and Paramaguru finally lived in velankanni,attained mahasamadhi just few years back.The SAMADHI is in poovathadi near Nagapattinam.Immense pain in the heart,because,obsense of his physical presence,though he still guides.
Shri Swami vedasalam swamigal and myself,undergone a pilgrimage to varanasi with immense financial constraints,only determination took us to there.After the prayers at harichandra ghatt,ganga pooja and the precious dharshan of Shri VISVANATHAR and MOTHER VISHALAKSHI,finally we sat in front of Shri ANNAPOORANI.We conceived the idea of submitting daily nivedhan at Shri SARGURU Peedam.We just offered to provide 3 pockets of nivedhan daily.Then Shri Vedasalam swamigal induced the idea of providing food for very few needy people at the GURUPEEDAM,year after year till his samadhi we were allowed by the kindness of the MAHAGURUS to increase to almost 50 people,three course meal.
After his Samadhi i thought about about how to continue beyond my life,because its not the effort of just an ordinary man,but the senior disciples of Sarguru.Discussed a lot with co-disciples and came to a decision to create SHRI ATHIGURU TRUST.With the blessings of all our HOLY MASTERS,HOLY COMMANDERS and the kind co operation of youngsters who can take forward,the trust was registered as per law on the name of our Mahaguru,SHRI ATHIGURU.
Our motto to provide prasadham at Shri SARGURU peedam and necessary items to perform daily poojas.we would intented to extend the same to all guru peedam wherever necessary and possible.apart from this we would like to serve the mankind in all possible way.
We welcome young minds whom can work with difficulties and short of facilities but with pure spritual ecstasy.
LOVE....for LOVESAKE.
