Guru

Dr. Rudra Shivatha, the esteemed author of profound texts like the Avvaiyar’s wisdom couplets – Brama Gnana activation key, Brama Gnana Kriya, Brama Gnana Initiation, Brama Gnana Peedam, and The Tamil Vedham that nurtures and blossoms the essence of the soul – Thiruvasagam, was born on June 18, 1967, in Thammampatti village, Salem district. Currently, he resides in Vellalapatti, Omalur circle, Salem district, with his wife and two daughters. Throughout his life, he has earned five master’s degrees and a doctoral degree.

At the age of 21, he was chosen by his spiritual guru, Sri Sri Paramahansa Sundarananda Maharishi, and was trained in the true path of Siddhar wisdom on Sathuragiri mountain for five years. For the past 36 years, he has been deeply immersed in the education of Brama Gnana, living as a Gnana guru.

He is committed to sharing the profound Brama Gnana wisdom, practiced since ancient Tamil times without hiding anything, so that the Tamil people and community can also experience this bliss. This wisdom includes all the secrets of the ancient Tamil Siddhars.

One can delight in all these secrets through him. He teaches how to experience liberation from suffering and spiritual freedom, and how to thrive in perpetual bliss, by recognizing the divine temple within oneself and the human light within that temple. Currently, his spiritual guru, having attained the body of light, resides as a being of light in the Himalayas, blessing us all.

In compliance with his guru’s directive, and to obtain the grace of the Siddhars, he has revealed the true meanings of the 310 wisdom couplets sung by Avvaiyar in the 12th century. Such a profound interpretation of Avvaiyar’s wisdom couplets has never been seen before in the Tamil world. It is imperative that this work has come forth in the Kali Yuga. His second book vividly describes the seven yoga secrets of the great avatar Babaji and how to practice them, making it a rare work of wisdom yoga not previously revealed.

The profound explanations spanning 1568 pages in two volumes of Thiruvasagam, sung 1267 years ago, have been written to astonish even the learned adepts. This has liberated him from the cycle of rebirth and granted him the ultimate benefit of birth, leaving him overwhelmed with tears at its publication, astonishing everyone who witnessed his emotional speech.

Readers of these works cannot help but be astounded and moved by the profound wisdom contained within. The truths revealed are not merely theoretical but are based on the personal experiences of the author and his students, who have had numerous profound experiences. This work of Brama Gnana taught by him leads everyone to dance in bliss, offering the treasure of wisdom that Avvaiyar, along with Manikkavasagar and others, promised.

By studying this path of Brama Gnana and practicing the divine arts, our guru often says that the Divine itself will arise as light and guide us. When one delves deep into the practice of Brama Gnana, ten states of knowledge appear, while humans generally live only in a state of six senses: touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing, and the sixth being thought, which is unique to humanity.

First, we must understand what knowledge means:

Arivu (knowledge) = Ari (to know) + U (Ukaram, meaning life).

To know one’s life is the essence of Gnana (knowledge).

Without Soul, no creature can exist on Earth. The education that teaches us about life should be the primary learning for humanity. What is the use of learning lifeless education, which only helps when we die? True education is that which pertains to life; all else is false.
The seventh sense is known as intuitive knowledge, which is understanding through subtle signs. The next, the eighth sense, is true knowledge. It is considered the pinnacle of wisdom among the enlightened. Our Brama Gnana Peedam is now excelling in imparting this profound knowledge to humanity, awakening awareness through a dedicated path of truth.

The ninth sense is the subtle sensory knowledge, revered by the Siddhars. Our Tamil Siddhars have described that the divine feet of the Lord are positioned above the center of the human head, at the crown. Gaining access to this knowledge is referred to as ‘subtle sensory entry,’ and seeing the radiant divine feet within is the essence of the radiant meditation. Those who do not see the divine feet will embrace death. Without acquiring true knowledge, one cannot attain this ninth sense. Through the gateway of radiant meditation, our Peedam students achieve this knowledge at the fifteenth level of practise, experiencing the subtleties of divine pathways and attaining the ninth knowledge through the nerve center of Brama. Hence, only by acquiring this knowledge of the Siddhars can one escape from death.

Finally, the tenth sense is known as knowledge of the ultimate, referred to as the light of divine wisdom or grace knowledge. This knowledge can only be obtained through divine grace. Vallalar stands as a testament to this today, and our Gurunathar also validates this, currently living in the body of light. We aim to teach our students this light knowledge from the beginning of their radiant meditation training. This tenth knowledge of grace is luminous. Like a seed, it resides at the central point of the human brain, securely placed there by the divine in another evolutionary form. Stimulating this seed causes it to burst forth and grow into a tree, continuously renewing itself.

Our ancient Tamil Siddhars have brought this marvelous knowledge to the world. They have steadfastly conveyed the beautiful wisdom lifestyle of our ancestors in Avvaiyar’s wisdom couplets and The Tamil Vedham that nurtures and blossoms the essence of the soul – Thiruvasagam. Currently, after 1267 years, this profound interpretation of our Thiruvasagam, titled The Tamil Vedham that nurtures and blossoms the essence of the soul – was published on 21.12.2023 in two volumes spanning 1568 pages, blessed fully by the ancient Tamil Siddhars.

Continuing in this work of Brama Gnana, he has authoritatively written a research book on how Vallalar attained the body of light. He is also writing profound interpretations for Thiruvarutpa Agaval.

He is currently producing profound interpretations based on Brama Gnana for the 1000 verses of Thirumandiram. One part has been completed, and he continues to write for the remaining parts. Historians say Thirumandiram was written 5000 years ago but only surfaced 1624 years ago. Why haven’t the Thirumandiram songs had a profound interpretation written in these 1624 years? What’s the reason? To find answers to all these, read the ongoing Thirumandiram profound interpretation being written by this author. It will enlighten and bring experiential knowledge to all of you.

Guru’s sadhGuru : sri sri paramahansa Sundarananda Maharishi

Avatars are rare gifts of nature to human society. Such a rare and fragrant presence is Sri Sri Paramahansa Sundarananda Maharishi, born in Madurai, a city that has fostered Tamil through the Sangam era.

His childhood was divine. As per our Guru’s mother, even while in the womb, he was embraced by divine grace. Often, a circle of light appeared before him, and his face glowed like the full moon while sleeping, leaving his mother in awe.

He reached the pinnacle in the path of Srividya and became an enlightened sage who saw the divine Sri Chakra within his body. By recognizing the divine within and the divine light of life, and understanding the power provided by the Lord through the primal force, he lived as a sage in Sathuragiri mountains.

Having consumed more than fifty medicinal herbs and transforming his body into a diamond-like substance, he was summoned to the Himalayas by the great avatar Babaji under the command of sages Agastya and Bogar. There, inspired and guided by the divine light of the great avatar, he continued the radiant meditation of Brama Gnana, which involves the powers of light and sound, for twenty years. With the blessings of the Lord, in the presence of sages, the great avatar Babaji bestowed upon our Guru the body of divine light, and he continues to thrive. It is exceedingly rare to see those who have achieved the body of light in this Kali Yuga. The practice of Brama Gnana, handed down by the ancient Tamil Siddhars, exists only in the world of Siddhars today. With our Guru’s permission, we have been officially teaching this art in our Brama Gnana Sabha Peedam since 2021.

We nourish our bodies daily with food, but do we nourish our soul? No, and that’s why humans perish. Our Guru, Sri Sri Paramahansa Sundarananda Maharishi, has taught that by nourishing the soul daily, it will not depart from our bodies. He has commanded us to carry forward this teaching to the current age. If one wishes to learn how to nurture the soul, one must definitely learn the art of Brama Gnana. Only those who live in a divine state will truly master this art. In our 38 years of experience, we believe there is no other knowledge as profound as Brama Gnana in this world.

This Brama Gnana was passed down to our Guru through a lineage that includes Kaka pujandar, Thirumoolar, Agastya, Bogar, and the great avatar Babaji. This art transcends even Babaji’s Kriya Yoga. This knowledge is only taught in our Brama Gnana Sabha Peedam. Our Guru, in this lifetime, has achieved the illuminated body through Brama Gnana, a feat unattainable even with a thousand years of ascetic practice. This is the pinnacle of Brama Gnana. Our Guru says that by forsaking the trivialities of life, one can reach the heights of wisdom. Brama Gnana will guide you correctly to live naturally. Our Guru, endowed with the body of enlightened light, writes extensively about Brama Gnana and its profound truths in book form, motivated by a heartfelt wish for all souls in the world to attain Brama Gnana.

As part of this, on December 21, 2023, we published a profound interpretation of, The Tamil Vedham that nurtures and blossoms the essence of the soul – Thiruvasagam, sung by Manickavasagar, in Salem, spanning 1568 pages in two volumes.
In accordance with the directive of our Guru, we are writing profound interpretations for the 1000 Thirumandiram songs. The series will total 20 volumes, with the first part already completed and the second part underway.

Our goal is for all beings to achieve Brama Gnana, merging their inner divine light with the universal divine essence, and through Brama Gnana meditation, every soul should transform into the divine itself. This is the singular aim and dream of our Brama Gnana Sabha Peedam.
