Sadhguru Maharajki Jai.

Just like to share few that I heard from speeches of Sadguru Shri Haridhos Giri (Guruji) and Namaji about The great master of masters – Sadguru Shri Gnananandha Giri.

Shri Gnananandha Sadguru’s Ayonija (meaning one who born not from a (human) womb or people with extra ordinary origins) apperance in human form is certainly very very long ago and goes back more than 2000+ years. He is the Sixth Pontiff of the Jyothir Mutt(University of Light) in Srinagar(moved to Badrinath in 19th century) Kashmir, One of four establishments by Jagadguru Adi Shankara (509–477 BC). Its at this University Jesus studies during much later years. Sadguru became the Pontiff of Mutt after directions from master Sadguru Shri Shivaratna Giri, 5th Pontiff of Jyothir Mutt, 200-100BC. After Sadguru Shri Shivaratna giri decided to ascend into Samadhi, whose Jeeva Samadhi is in Srinagar, Kashmir, Sadguru Gnananandha couldn’t bear the separation from his master and decided to renounce from the Pontiff position and set out for greater enlightenment. Ever since he has meditated in Manasarovar, near Mt Kailash(now in Tibet), for several centuries. His hair-lock grows so long that it crawls over the ground as he walks, He had shaven off such long grown hair for many numerous times. Sixty year is a standard time frame for Him to complete one sitting of meditation.

In 21th century discussions, Namaji used to say that Sadguru Gnananandha hardly breaths meaning his breath cycle is so slow and close to stillness.

When one’s mind whose quest to observe ceases/refuses the act of observation, time ceases to exist, body(energy field) instantly reacts to this information and does everything to sustain it.Sadguru’s long journey continues for centuries and will be continue for ever as universe exist.

Early in 19th century Sadguru Gnananandha began his tapas in now called Batu Caves, Kaulalampur, Malaysia. This penance continued until 1864 when Divine Manifestation of Lord Skanda happened before Sadguru. Out of This Divine Grace, Compassion, this spot is now a massive spiritual spot in world.

Further Sadguru loved on his journey along the Himalayas down towards the equator crossing the straits to Singapore and Sumatra. To many Indonesian brothers of Islamic faith Sadguru is the Prophet who spoke through Q’uran. Thus after a long journey before the first world war began He entered Srilanka via a merchant ship. Over there He blessed the Zen meditation techniques to many seekers of Buddhist lineage. By this time 12 out of 13 monks who accompanied Sadguru all along the Himalayan journey from Kashmir> Kailash > Nepal > Bhutan >Bengal> Assam > Mizoram> Burma>Thailand>Malaya>Singapore > Indonesia.
12 Monks ascended Samadhi in and around kadhir Gramam, Srilanka and Swami entered into Tamilnadu, India along with the another one old monk of Himalayan journey.

There after He Sadguru had met numerous Saints across Southern India. Shri Ramana Maharishi, Shri Aurobindo, Shri Subramanya Bharathi, Shri Mother of Auroville, Shri Yogi Ram Surat Kumarar, Shiridi Sai Baba, Shri Sathya Sai Baba(during 1950’s) and many many more.

Sadguru has told that at any point of time there will be 20 million Sadhus(Saints, Sants, Sages, Maharishis, Bhagavathas) will be living in world and half of them will be in South India alone.

This Gnana Jyothi, The Supreme Light, presence is very essential for life of earth to sustain and this is what is making the world go around.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you
chandran

There are numerous incidents in Sri Gnananadagiri swamigal’s life that also show that he was a real siddhapurusha.

His interactions with Ramana and Sri Kanchi Mahaswami are memorable.

Thanks a lot for this article. I came to know first time about Gnanananda Giri garu.

Thanks
