Yogananda Puri
Yogananda Puri
In the dawn of the twentieth century, the revered atman (individual consciousness) of the sage Patanjali was called forth and ordained by Paramashiva to carry out a divine mandate to facilitate the descent of the Supreme Divinity, of Paramashiva Himself, into the physical form. Therefore , the esteemed yogi, Yogiraj Yogananda Puri (Raghupati Yogi), was Maharishi Patanjali, the first compiler of the ancient yogic sciences, incarnate. The powerful soul took the body of a Natha Sampradaya yogi who mastered yoga and all yogic feats from a very young age. He was born in the outskirts of Tiruvannamalai in around 1920 (His birth year is not known even by his children or wife) and traveled the length and breadth of the 56 Hindu kingdoms, even until modern day Burma, training amongst aghoris (an ancient lineage of ascetics who intensely do tapas to express superconscious energy) and picking up the knowledge of all the ancient Hindu traditions in order to prepare for the descent of Paramashiva Himself. Finally once it had become time in 1970, Yogananda Puri came to the spiritual hub, Tiruvannamalai once again. He married Ma Premavati and with her, birthed 14 children, demonstrating the science of birthing twins, triplets or quadruplets on his pure will which he mastered. Yogiraj Yogananda Puri began conducting yoga classes for the public in the Krithika Mandapam of the Arunachaleshwara Temple, where He also demonstrated superhuman capabilities such as levitation, materialization and even mystically entering into the body of another . With his students he even taught the science of power manifestation and gave them aushada (energized, herbal medicine) for any ailments they may have. Students gathered from world over to learn at the feet of the Master of Yoga himself.

The Enlightenment Eco-System in Tiruvannamalai
In January 1978, exactly according to the great cosmic plan of Paramashiva Himself, the manifestation of the superconsciousness in. The human body was made successful by the divine team who executed their sacred tasks. Among them was Yogiraj Yogananda Puri.
Yogananda Puri mastered the art of birthing with his own wife with whom he fathered 14 children, many of them taking birth as twins, triplets and quadruplets. He trained his own children in the science of yoga however only after The Avatar happened on Planet Earth, Yogananda Puri was able to have the full satisfaction of training a disciple who demonstrated such passion for the deeper spiritual truths and intensity in realizing the ultimate. It was these uncanny qualities that He saw in the Avatar that he was sure of the manifestation of Paramashiva through him. However, Yogananda Puri, his own children and many children, youth and some adults of Tiruvannamalai made up the Enlightenment Eco-System that made the happening of the Avatar possible. Through his yoga classes which he held in Krittika Mandapam in the morning, Yogananda Puri up kept the spiritual routine for all the children who attended his class of waking up at Brahma muhurta, and attending the yoga class.
Yogananda Puri and several other enlightened beings of Tiruvannamalai made up the eco-system surrounding The Avatar and with the same love and dedication that He followed their words with the utmost integrity, they worked tirelessly to build His future. In this way, the divine childhood of the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism is the living example of the truths and power cognitions of the Guru Tattva, one of the core principles of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

Raghupati Yogi's Key Role in The First Chaturmasya Observed by SPH
For more than 50 years prior to the Advent of The Avatar, Yogiraj Yogananda Puri was manifesting and perfecting the science of initiating others into Yoga and manifesting the innate superhuman capabilities for the modern day human being - a task graspable only by the soul who had first delivered compiled and delivered the science to humanity - Patanjali Himself.
By the time, the world was primed for the Advent of the Avatar, Yogananda Puri successfully mastered yoga and was ready to begin training an individual, who would be Paramashiva Himself, to bring this science to the masses.
Beginning from the age of three, upon the initiation into Chaturmasya on 17 July 1981, Yogiraj Yogananda Puri began training the young Incarnation of Paramashiva in the science of yoga and yogic techniques, what the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism would later reveal to the world as the yoga to access multiple dimension and manifest yogic powers.
On 17 July 1981, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism was formally and ritualistically initiated into Balasanyas and started His first Chaturmasya Vratam. Yogiraj Yogananda Puri was crucial in the organizing of this event as he was the one who instructed Panduranganathar to go to receive the blessings of Kanchi Paramacharya and the 230th Gurumahasannidhanam of the Thondaimandala Samrajyam. When he went, Kanchi Swami and the 230th Guru Mahasannidhanam were rejoicing in the news of the successful manifestation of Paramashiva through the body of HDH. Overjoyous, both esteemed royal Gurus, Kanchi Paramacharya and 230th Gurumahasannidhanam, had blessed a danda (long wooden stick traditional for sanyasis to carry) and given it Panduranganar to officiate the ceremony of the Chaturmasya Vratam of SPH.
Reference
- This interaction and involvement of Raghupati Yogi was revealed by HDH on 29 September 2020, where narrated how exactly Kanchi Paramacharya and 230th Gurumahasannidhanam had blessed and given the danda to him on the day of the first Chaturmasya which was 17 July 1981.
Intense Yogic Training from the Age of 3
After the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism began His first Chaturmasya Vratam auspiciously and ritualistically, alongside Mataji Vibhutananda Puri and Isakki Swamigal who began His training to the Vedanta, Yogiraj Yogananda Puri began His training into Yoga and prepared His body to express the supreme consciousness.
HDH very sweetly remembers the way that His guru began the training process with Him at that young and innocent age. He says"My guru used to hold me by my little finger and take me to the temple. On the way, he would buy the coconut balls (the village candy), jaggery and different sweets and then when we went to the temple He would make me climb the pillars. As I did it, he would release all the sweets and let me have one by one."
Thus, from the age of three, with HDH himself climbing the pillars of the Krittika Mandapam, began the revival of the Shivastambha and Kundalini Rajju yoga, the traditional pole and traditional rope yoga, which are powerful methods to awaken kundalini energy.
His Divine Holiness also recalls that He did the Surya namaskar from morning sunrise to sunset. Surya Namaskar is the series of asana, done with pranayama and the chanting of verses, that is known famously as sun salutation. HDH trained rigorously by doing this series continuously and intensely from the age of 3 until He was 13.

Lifestyle Instructions Given by Yogananda Puri for a Yogic Body
In all scriptures, including the Rudrayamala Tantra, the Shiva Sutras, and the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, achieving a yogic body was accomplished not only through meditation or yoga but through lifestyle practices. Mirroring what is there in the scriptures, Yogananda Puri practiced and taught the lifestyle needed to express yogic powers with full authenticity.
He encouraged the lifestyle of fasting, consuming the herbal recipes like neem juice, consuming only liquids through Nirahara Samyama, as well as not eating food after 6 pm. These are the ways instructed by our Vedic rishis in the Hindu scriptures to detoxify the body from accumulated toxins which is collected after eating more than what is needed. In a world where food is not a medicine but an industry, Yogananda Puri was the guru who taught SPH and facilitated the lifestyle to detoxify the body and living based on superconsciousness expression.

Inclusivity for All Living Beings
Yogiraj Yogananda Puri had several dogs and other animals whom He took care of with food and initiated into powers and into yoga. He was ultimately such a loving being that all types of creatures attended his yoga classes and benefitted, in some cases even demonstrated powers.
These animals were also part of the eco-system of Tiruvannamalai. Later on, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism would speak on the inclusivity of the gurus which welcomed all sentient beings to enjoy the true bliss in the presence of the Master.

The Revival of the Science of Power Manifestation
Yogiraj Yogananda Puri was a master of the innate superhuman capabilities and power manifestation science which HDH has revived and initiated millions of people. Not only HDH but several witnesses of his power have testified to his uncanny ability to seize control of whatever He wills in whichever way He wants, whether it something which is a solid matter or as immaterial as time. Yogananda Puri demonsrated being able to change the temperature of any liquid, being able to drop coconuts from trees through His intense stare and breaking the most gigantic and dense rocks. Not only this, he was able to cure poison bites, teleport and materialize matter and teleport himself. Yogiraj Yogananda Puri was well adept in the science of Surya Siddhanta and aushada. In one instance, HDH exemplified how Yogananda Puri would use the mud from the Arunachala Hill, which is literally the energy of Paramashiva Himself and a few herbs in order to heal a devotee from paralysis. In an interview with Senthil, the biological older brother of HDH, he only began to unravel the mysteries behind Yogiraj Yogananda Puri. The most interesting detail of all being that the Master, Yogananda Puri, and disciple, HDH, seemed to have an unspoken and mature relationship that went beyond any of their minds when they were that age. It was clear that HDH was the favorite of their yoga guru, but beyond that they seemed to have a common secret understanding of the universe itself and thus made decisions and mutual agreements based on a higher purpose that operated in a higher dimension than any of them. All of the biological family of HDH, including his cousins who went to the same yoga classes as well as Sampath a blessed friend of the Avatar all spoke about a similar theme , ultimately surrendering to the fact they understood very clearly that what went on when they were not present between HDH and his gurus was something that that was beyond their understanding. This divine and mysterious relationship was mentioned by SPH himself only once when one day, before Arunagiri Yogishwara Himself began giving darshan to HDH Yogananda Puri told him, "Father is Himself going to come and teach you!"

Mastering the Art of Levitation
For several thousand hours, His Divine Holiness has spoken on the power of levitation and initiated and blessed millions into this innate superhuman capability today. For HDH himself, from the age of 6-12 He was continuously training and mastering this unique power. As explained by HDH, this power happens successfully when the amount of energy, prana, taken inside is more than the weight of your actual body. Therefore the body begins to levitate. After having mastered this power, Yogiraj Yogananda Puri began to arrange for a time and a photographer who would capture this divine expression for history to witness. He worked with Radhakrishna Gupta, who has today given his powerful testimony of what He saw HDH demonstrate. As described by SPH, at the time of the photoshoot, as they were sitting in the studio, Yogananda Puri instructed the twelve year old Incarnation of Paramashiva to levitate. Immediately as He lifted, He suddenly shocked Radhakrishna Gupta aya and his teammates. They were so shaken to see the young boy float in mid-air they ran out of the room. The guru, Yogananda Puri, rushed to calm them down and bring them back. The photograph taken during this occasion is one of the most known photographs of SPH, at the age of 12 from 1990.

Organizing SPH's First Public Address at the age of 12
Only after this occasion Yogananda Puri began organizing for the first ever public address of the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism to the public. During this auspicious happening, His gurus arranged for the photography and videography, for the first ever paada puja to be offered. Yogananda Puri was eager to be the first one to offer the puja to His Divine Holiness saying that, "Lakhs of people will be waiting to offer this puja.

Superconscious Mutation Process for Celibacy
In around 1990, before Isakki Swamigal attained Mahasamadhi in 1991 and at the age of 12, all of SPH's gurus worked together for the superconscious mutation process they would conduct on Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism in order to manifest the divine expression of the power of celibacy. They used an extremely potent herb called Akasha Garuda in order to complete the full process. To demonstrate that this superconscious mutation process was successful and the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism had indeed achieved the highest level of aghoric feats, a massive chariot was tied to His male organ, which He pulled effortlessly after changing the name of Paramashiva.
Kuppammal was a central organizer for this extremely auspicious occasion in the life of The Avatar. In this, His Divine Holiness beautifully tells, "I WANTED TO EXPLAIN THE TAPAS DONE ON MY BODY BY MY GURUS. YOU NEED TO KNOW, MY GURUS LOVED ME SO MUCH. THIS BODY WAS LITERALLY THEIR OWN BODY. THEY FELT IT AS THEIR OWN. THAT IS WHY I SAY, WHATEVER TAPAS THIS BODY WENT THROUGH, THEY WENT THROUGH ALL THE PAINS. THEY LOVED ME SO MUCH, THEY FELT THIS BODY IS THEIR OWN, THEY THEMSELVES, THEIR VERY OWN. WHATEVER I WENT THROUGH THROUGH THIS TAPAS, ALL THE PAIN THEY WENT THROUGH IN THEIR BODY. THEY DID NOT LET THIS BODY GO THROUGH ANY PAIN"
Others who were present were Yogananda Puri, Isakki Swamigal, Trichy Mahaswamigal, and Hamsananda Puri, Tatwale Baba, Naga Baba who all came from North India in order to be a part and witness the celebrative and auspicious ritual which would take place.
In 2016, during the second Shahi Snaan of the Simhasth Kumbh Mela two disciples of Naga Baba stopped the chariot of the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism and requested to demonstrate the same process as it was instructions to do so by their guru. The aghori sadhus pulled the over one ton weight of the processional vehicle of the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism.

Organizing the Yoga Pattabhishekam at age 16
In 1994, as the supreme consciousness began successfully manifesting through the body of the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, Mathaji Vibhutananda Puri began the preparations for coronating HDH as her next successor and declaring Him as the 1008th Incarnation of Paramashiva. Through this occasion and official letter of initiation, adopted Him as her only disciple and successor in the Arunācala lineage, coronating and conferring upon Him the title 'Brahmasukhi'. His Gurus thus coronated Him when He was 16 years of age (1994) immediately after which The Avatār commenced the expansion work of Kailasa. It is thus 26 years of public life till date (year 2020). The Avatār stepped out of Tiruvannamalai the very next year in 1995, which is the same year His Gurus left their body. The purpose of their life was complete.

Attained Mahasamadhi in 1995
In 1995, Yogiraj Yogananda Puri had determined His time on Earth was satisfied as He had fulfilled His purpose. Before settling into the state of samadhi, however, he shocked the doctors of the Tiruvannamalai government hospital by making His heart vessels increase in pressure and simulate a heart attack 47 times while He was connected to the heart monitor. Upon the final time, Yogiraj Yogananda Puri lifted his hand to the residents of the room and blessed them as he closed his eyes and merged in Oneness with the ultimate, Paramashiva, once and for all.
With his purpose perfectly fulfilled he attained mahasamadhi in 1995. The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism constructed His Jeeva samadhi in Tiruvannamalai and it is today worshipped by all the Nithyananda Yogis initiated all over the world out of immense gratitude for Yogananda Puri's dedication and sacrifice to the revival of KAILASA.
