Jagadguru Sriom Adisakthiyendra Swamigal
The great Gurus like Adisankarar, Ramanujar, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Raghavendra and Shiridi Baba were reformers of their eras. Sriom Adisakthiyendra Swamigal can be called as the reformer of the current century. He has understood the essence of divinity and inculcated his teachings in a simple way it reaches and calls out to the souls of his followers.
Swamigal was born in a Vaishnavite family on 20th Aug 1961 and named Ravi Narayanan. He was an intelligent, well-mannered child who was very much inclined towards devotion and dhyan, helping and caring for others from a very young age.
Devi’s Vision & Penances
When he was in his teens, he was woken up in the early hours by the lotus feet of Sri Om Adi Sakthi Devi. This is the day his life got transformed. This set him on the path of unique devotion, the worship of the lamp and turned him from materialistic life to a world of recluse.
Devi became his Guru and taught him A to Z of Vedas, Upanishads, and Pooja Vidhan. He completed major penances on water at Triveni Sangam and later Agni Thapas on the Kadari Hills, leading to the complete realization of his soul.
Humanitarian Activities
Based on his principle, Swamiji initiated many social activities like feeding the poor, educating children, elderly care, medical care, and animal care (Goshala) in India.
Swamiji initiated a non-profit organization called Sriom Care in Sydney, which has delivered high-quality care to older people for over 15 years, becoming a recognized leader in support for South Asian communities.
SriOm Gnanasakthiyendra Swamigal
Born as Suresh Babu on March 12th, 1968, in Kancheepuram, he was a science graduate who found solace in Swamiji’s love. After the sudden demise of his mother, he decided to dedicate his life to serve the mission and took Sanyasam vows, receiving the name Sriom Gnanasakthiyendra Swamigal.
