Content: Ganesha eats...

Content: Paramahamsa would offer food to this Ganesha deity everyday. He would plead and sometimes threaten the deity to eat the food he served him. One day, he heard a mythological story of a young boy who offered food to a deity that actually ate it. Determined to make his Ganesha eat the food that he served him, Paramahamsa resolved not to threaten him anymore. Instead he stopped eating until his Ganesha ate the food that was served by him.

Content: At the end of the third day, the food disappeared! Overjoyed and feeling tremendous gratitude, he cried his heart out. He felt the power of devotion and faith strengthening further.

Content: At the age of 12, Paramahamsa had a vision of a golden figure while at the altar of Goddess Parvati at the Arunachaleshwara temple. The vision made a deep impression on him. He took a copper sheet and with a nail etched it from memory.

Content: The figure he drew was the sacred Sri Chakra believed to be a powerful and mystical representation of the Cosmos. When asked how he managed to carve with such ease this complex diagram that baffles even skilled artists today, Paramahamsa explained, 'It is just nine triangles placed at different angles to each other. Once you understand the concept it becomes easy!'

Content: Today

Content: In the temples created by Paramahamsa around the world, grand worship happens with the supreme understanding that worship is a wonderful spiritual technique to merge with Existence.

Content: Yogi Ramsuratkumar or Visiri Swamigal was an enlightened master, who was a contemporary of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi in Tiruvannamalai. He was well-known and well-liked in Tiruvannamalai. Paramahamsa became a regular visitor to this sage.

Content: Yogi Ramsuratkumar would sit like a beggar amidst a pile of garbage that he collected on the steps of the building adjacent to Thermuthu, where the temple chariot was parked. It was customary for people to stop by and ask him questions about their future. Children on their way to school would stop and ask how they would fare in their exams. They could rarely elicit a response from the intriguing mystic. One day, Paramahamsa stopped on his way to school and asked him if he would pass in his test in school that day. He got a reply, 'You will pass the test of life, my boy!'

• Paramahamsa

Content: Annamalai Swamigal was a direct disciple of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi. Around the age of 10, Paramahamsa started going to the Ramana ashram in Tiruvannamalai. He sat with Annamalai Swamigal's disciples regularly at the lecture sessions. One of the attractions of going to Annamalai Swamigal was that he used to distribute candies after his discourses!

Content: One day, Annamalai Swamigal explained the concept of maya or illusion, when he said, 'We are not the body; this body is not real; what is real is the spirit; there is no pain that can affect this spirit; we are beyond pain and suffering.'

Content: With these words ringing in his ears, Paramahamsa ran back home that day and taking a kitchen knife cut his right thigh to verify if he experienced pain. Intense pain resulted and scolding from his mother as well. He had multiple stitches from the doctor.

Content: He went back to Annamalai Swamigal and demanded an explanation. Annamalai Swamigal said to him, "The pain will go away. I will give you a technique to practice. Your very courage to experiment with the Truth will lead you to enlightenment.' This incident further deepened Paramahamsa's search.

Content: in the month of Vaikasi (May-June as per the

Content: Tamil calendar).

Content: 14

Content: Paramahamsa used to walk around the Arunachala mountain everyday.

Content: He would start very early in the morning, at around 4 am, and walk for three to four hours around the hill, chanting songs while walking.

Content: He was totally in the present, least bothered about what was going to happen the next moment - like an innocent child playing in the lap of his mother;

Content: an innocent child delighting in the ambience of his beloved Arunachala!

Content: One morning he started very early, soon after midnight.

Content: In those days there was no road or lights on the path around the hill.

Content: It was just a jungle, a dense forest all the way.

Content: As he walked on, at a spot near a rivulet, a herd of hyenas approached him.

Content: He had been walking with his eyes cast downwards singing devotional songs.

Content: He was totally immersed in singing and did not notice the hyenas till he was very close to them.

Content: When he lifted his head and saw them, the animals were very close to him.

Content: From deep down his hara, from the swadhisthana chakra or spleen energy center point, he let out a loud scream.

Content: It was a scream of pure fear that he had experienced neither earlier nor after.

Content: Along with the scream he felt a total surrender to Arunachala and a deep trust that Arunachala would take care of him.

Content: Suddenly, an elderly ascetic appeared in front of him from nowhere with a big stick and chased away the hyenas.

Content: As soon as the animals ran away, the old man disappeared.

Content: Paramahamsa did not know where this man came from nor where he went.

Content: With that primal scream, Paramahamsa found that his body had suddenly turned much lighter;

Content: he started walking, almost floating as if the frequency of his being had increased.

Content: (Primal Scream therapy is a modern psychological treatment in which patients scream from deep down their hara, to relieve fear and other suppressed negative emotions in catharsis).

Content: Schooling was a mere incident in Paramahamsa's life. At school, he wrote his record books at the chemistry and physics laboratories as a chore, but with more zest he chanted mantras and performed rituals.

Content: Seen here are records that stand testimony to his fervor - a page from the mantra diary, a complete pictorial guide to doing puja (ritual deity worship) written by him. This book guides his disciples and public in puja practices today! His passion for ritual worship and the planning that came naturally with it at that tender age was amazing.

Content: Paramahamsa's friends often teased him about his spiritual inclinations. One of them asked him what he was going to achieve with such long wasteful hours of meditation. He replied, 'When the time comes, you will know.'

Content: 'When I was young, I yearned for a place where I could learn the secrets of blissful living under one roof. I searched for nine years but never found such a place. I had to pick it up in bits and pieces. After enlightenment, I wanted to first offer to the youth, such a place!

Content: During a recent tour of Tamilnadu, after Paramahamsa had delivered a discourse and meditation in his hometown of Tiruvannamalai, he called his disciples to the stage of the packed hall and pointed to a few boys waiting in queue to take his blessings; these were the same ones who had questioned him earlier! They could be seen choking with emotion and shaking uncontrollably as they bowed down to touch the feet of the master. The disciples looked on, caught in their own emotions, as he took the boys in his arms with mischievous laughter and ardent compassion.

Content: Leaving home

Content: The urge to leave home became stronger. One evening, the urge was so strong that Paramahamsa felt the need to act immediately. He felt he had to leave the life he was leading and enter into the life he was seeking without further delay. He could not bear to continue living the way he did any longer.

Content: Paramahamsa wanted to tell his mother his decision first. He loved her deeply and wanted to make sure that her suffering was as little as possible. That night he went to his mother at around 10 pm and asked her, 'What will you do if I died?' His mother asked, 'Why do you ask me such an inauspicious question? What is wrong?' Paramahamsa said, 'Nothing, no particular reason, I just need to know.' His mother said resignedly, 'What can I do? I need to accept it if it happens.' He then told her that he wanted to leave home.

Content: His mother burst into tears. Her body shook in sorrow uncontrollably. 'I knew that you would go away one day,' she said. He asked her whether she did not want him to leave. She said, 'No, I know that you want to go and I want you to do what you have always wanted to do in your life. I cannot stop you from that; but I cannot bear to see you go. That is why I am crying.'

Content: Paramahamsa felt overwhelmed at the unconditional love of his mother. She was in deep sorrow and yet she wanted for her son what he wanted. She did not wish to be in his way. Her innocence and selfless love touched him deeply. She was innocent of her own innocence.

As the truck went over a ditch, he was thrown up and he landed on a metal piece that pierced and fractured his spine. The army doctor he was taken to wanted him to rest for 15 days. Paramahamsa paid no heed to him. Instead, he placed his own palm upon the injured area and moved on. When he was X-rayed at Haridwar everyone but him was stunned. The fracture had healed perfectly. Little did Paramahamsa realize that the healing touch upon his own body would one day benefit millions of people around the world!
