Hindu history records that there were two demons who roamed the area where the Kingdom stands today. In order to slay these demons, Goddess Pārvati, the embodiment of Feminine Superconsciousness, descended in a ferocious form called Bhadrakali. At that time, Swarna Siddhar Mahan was in the midst of astral-travel over this region. He landed in the spot to pay obeisance to the Divine Mother. He requested her to reveal her shantarūpa, her serene form which itself would destroy the negativity and enlighten people. To please her, he performed the Svarna maha yagam – a powerful fire ritual. Pleased by him, Goddess Pārvati shed her ferocious form and blessed him. | Hindu history records that there were two demons who roamed the area where the Kingdom stands today.

The Kailaasa Paramparagatha Suvarnapeetha Sarvajnapeetha Swargapuram Samrajyam was established by Paramasiva and revived by Sri la Sri Azhagiya Thiruchittrambala Desika Bandara Sannadhi, who hails from the direct lineage of Paramaśiva, through his guru, Sage Thamba, one of the 18 sages in Hindu History.
The Aadheenam is located in the Tiruvarur district, Nannilam Circle which was a region falling within the reign of the Chera Kingdom or Dynasty.
The Chera King at the time had a daughter who had fallen fatally ill. On being approached by the King for healing, the powerful Sage Thamba healed her even before the king verbalised the reason for which he had approached the Sage. Out of sheer gratitude for this selfless act, the king decided to bequeath the sage Thamba with wealth, land and facilities, which the Sage gave to his disciple, Sri la Sri Azhagiya Thiruchittrambala Desika Bandara Sannadhi.

Founder and Reviver of Swargapuram Samrajyam
Founder
Bhagavān Śrī Paramashiva
Paramaśiva, the Cosmic Source and ultimate Divinity, started the Swargapuram Samrajyam, both the state and the spiritual kingdom.
It is from Bhagavan Sri Paramaśiva, the Primordial Source, who incarnated as Swarna Siddhar in Tiruvannamalai that the kingdom was established. Paramaśiva’s establishment was revived in the 12th century by the Mahan (great Seer), Sri La Sri Azhagiya Tiruchittrambala Desikar. He was the son of Śiva Tiru Śivajnana Desika Ācāryar and Sivakamasundari. He attained enlightenment at the age of 7 with his Guru, the Sage Thamba. The presiding deity is the deity of Paramaśiva and His Divine Consort. The deities are called Arulmigu Maruthuvaneshwarar Swami and His Consort Sri Atchayanayaki Amman.
Sri Swarna Siddhar
Sri Swarna Siddhar, incarnation of Paramaśiva in deity form
Power manifestation to help the people
The Swargapuram Aadheenam is built on the Samādhi (final resting place) of the great Swarna Siddhar (Seen in picture in deity form). Paramasiva Himself incarnated as this Sage, taking birth in Tiruvannamalai, South India. He lived as an extraordinary spiritual power manifestor helping the poor and needy with his spiritual powers, manifesting gold for them.
Appeasing the wrath of Bhadrakali
Hindu history records that there were two demons who roamed the area where the Kingdom stands today. In order to slay these demons, Goddess Pārvati, the embodiment of Feminine Superconsciousness, descended in a ferocious form called Bhadrakali. At that time, Swarna Siddhar Mahan was in the midst of astral-travel over this region. He landed in the spot to pay obeisance to the Divine Mother. He requested her to reveal her shantarūpa, her serene form which itself would destroy the negativity and enlighten people. To please her, he performed the Svarna maha yagam – a powerful fire ritual. Pleased by him, Goddess Pārvati shed her ferocious form and blessed him.
Disciples seek him out
Meanwhile, drawn by the powerful vibrations of his chanting, the Siddhar (mystics) who were meditating nearby namely Suryananda Siddhar, Kurmananda Siddhar, Swarupananda Siddhar, Sangili Siddhar, Sattanatha Siddhar sought him out and spoke thus, “You are the Mahānubhāva (Great Saint) who pacified the Mahādevī (referring to Bhadrakāli) who could not be pacified by anyone.” So saying they humbly requested him to accept them as his disciples. They then took leave from him.
The king surrenders
The Swarna Siddhar gave refuge to princes who fled their kingdoms when conquered by the powerful kings. He empowered them to successfully win their kingdoms back. Disapproving Swarna Siddhar’s act, the king sent his men to find him but in vain. However Swarna Siddhar himself sought out the king in his kingdom. Using his spiritual powers, the Siddhar subjugated the king. The king surrendered to his powerful Presence and gave him all his territory. The Siddhar then divided the territory appropriately.
He and his attain Jīva Samādhi
Swarna Siddhar left his body along with the rare and powerful naagam (a snake that used to live with him). Cognising through their power of enlightenment that the Siddhar has attained jīva samādhi (rested his body), the five disciples also attained jīva samādhi (final resting) in their respective places. The day they attained jīva samādhi was Chitra Pournami.
On the Siddhar’s jīva samādhi, years later, Arulmigu Azhagiya Tiruchitrambala Desikar ruled as Pontiff of the Swargapura Aadheenam.
In the five places where the five disciples attained jīva samādhi, five Śiva temples got created.
