The earliest book studied by the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) was the sacred scripture called Atma Purana, which contains the Tamil translation of the first four Upanishad. This book is still today preserved in KAILASA's Archives of Sovereign. In the own words of SPH: "Fortunately, the first ever book I was introduced to in My life, before even any schoolbook entered My life, the first ever book I was introduced to, is the Upanishads by Isakki Swamigal. And still we have that copy with us; we have that book; the four major Upanishads, Tamil translation. At that time, I cannot read; he (Isakki Swamigal) will read and give explanations. Kuppammal will ask questions, and he will give answers. And, actually, only through that book I even learnt the alphabets! Fortunately, even the language was taught to Me only by My Gurus. I did not go to school that regularly to learn something from that school. I went to school whenever there were no festivals in the temple, when I was free, which is less than sixty days in a year! Please understand, Tiruvannamalai Temple has at least three-hundred days' festivals in a year! And in those sixty days, sometimes it will be summer holidays for the school, and weekends. Anyhow... Because I learnt the language to study the Upanishads, that book has become so part of Me! It is actually a Tamil translation and Commentary. I can literally just repeat the whole book! I can just literally repeat the whole book!" - SPH, on 5 January 2015, in the discourse titled: 'Upanishad - The Expression of the Cosmos'

Yogi Ramsuratkumar was born in the town called Laalgunj near Kashi, in North India, on December 18, 1918 and from a young age, was always attracted to the dense spiritual life that existed in the sacred city of Kashi.  Finally in 1952, in order to pursue his ultimate purpose, he left Varanasi  for Anandashram in Kerala. Yogi Ramsuratkumar himself says that his moment of enlightenment was the moment of initiation from Swami Ramdas into the mantra, “Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram” . Upon coming to Tiruvannamalai in 1959, Yogi Ramsuratkumar received initiation from Ramana Maharshi, when he was ordained as the next successor of the ancient Arunachala Sampradaya and the ancient kingdom of Adi Arunachala Samrajyam. From the main Tiruvannamalai train station to the Punnai Tree, then from the burial ground to his own house which was owned and maintained by his devotees Yogi Ramsuratkumar began enriching everyone who approached him. His extremely profound and unorthodox teachings attracted the seekers even from the west. Yogi Ramsuratkumar became highly established not only in the great town surrounding Arunachala but also in global platforms. References     1. In the talk from 7 September 2020, "Unclutch to Go Beyond Delusion: Guaranteed Solution" HDH recalls how even though Yogi Ramsuratkumar would always be smoking the village beedi, He would never smell smoke or feel nausea around him. He was such a graceful being and the space around him was always incredibly pure, both in smell and in the deep feeling of joy and bliss that Yogi Ramsuratkumar radiated.  Read about Yogi Ramsuratkumar and the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism : https://ift.tt/39oslKf #guru #nithyananda #yogiramsuratkumar #ramsuratkumar #tiruvannamalai #arunachala #bhaktiyoga

1981 was the third ceremonious year after the Advent of The Avatar on the planet Earth. After the newborn Incarnation of Paramashiva successfully manifested through His body and demonstrated that He was none other than Paramashiva in the embodied form, the great beings who facilitated His birth, Mata Vibhutananda Puri, Yogananda Puri, Isakki Swamigal and others, sought to declare to the world that Paramashiva was once again gracing the planet with His all-compassionate and indomitable presence. With the guidance and blessings of the 68th Kanchi Paramacharya and the 230th Gurumahasannidhanam of the Thondai Mandala Aadheenam, on 17 July 1981, the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima, His Gurus held the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) in their very lap and performed the rituals for the initiation into the Chaturmasya Vratam. This particular practice is a four-month period in the Hindu tradition observed by every year with several austerities undertaken especially by the great Incarnations and Seers for the well-being of humanity. The SPH was thus initiated into Balasanyas - purest form of monkhood assumed before physical maturity - and began the organized training for the revival of KAILASA, the ancient Hindu enlightened civilizational Nation. SPH’s Gurus, in recognition of the young Avatar, arranged for this photograph (and many other photographs on other occasions) to be taken on the day of the initiation of SPH into Balasanyas, an auspicious milestone in the revival of the world's greatest Hindu nation, KAILASA. Today, hundreds of young children with the fire of seeking in them whose parents have reached them to Him as their Guru, have been initiated into balasanyas by SPH, thus reviving the tradition of Balasanyas back to the mainstream lifestyle of KAILASA. #kailaasa #kailasa #nithyananda #HistoryCreated #gurupurnima #balasanyas
