The Divine Childhood
Guru Mahan Maha Maharishi Paranjothiar was born on 11-02-1955 in Bhavani, Tamil Nadu, India. Bhavani is the Triveni Sangamam of South India- confluence of the rivers Kaveri, Bhavani and Amudha (It is a pilgrim centre, even from the Vedic age). His Parents were Thiru.Krishnamoorthy and Smt.Lakshmy Ammal. They deemed him to be a Thavamani, a son born after much penance. When he was older, he was called Jayamani.
At the age of seven, Jayamani had an out of body experience, and he realized he was different. He kept quiet about it, in case people thought him mad, and determined to pursue the quest himself. His youth was spent learning yoga and visiting various holy places as well as perusing holy scripts in the search for the truth. He trained in Hatha Yoga in a renowned school. His formal schooling ended at the Pre University, level as his parents could not afford a university education for him. He therefore worked as a lab assistant in the college. Yet he was persistent on his spiritual path.
Gurumahan Maha Maharishi Paranjothiar first undertook a 21day penance for the upliftment of the spiritual values of the people in December 1991. He meditated in his room in ‘Deiveeham’, the house in Bhavani. He emerged after 21 days of deep meditation, not eating, not speaking and not seeing anyone on 7 January 1992, the day of Great Guru Gnanavallal Paranjothy Mahan’s Samadhi Day. This penance was consecrated to the element Earth.
Till this date Guru Mahan has undertaken 19 holy penances, of 21 days each, in the years from 1991/1992 till last Velvi which finished on 11/01/2009 by meditating in a Pyramid constructed in Thirumoorthy Hills. |
