Bhagwan Sri-La-Sri Pandrimalai Swamigal 1906 - 1986:
Lord SHIVA, as mentioned in Tiruvilayaadal Puraanam, took the form of a pig (Varaha), the 45 incarnation of the 64, to protect orphaned piglets, in a village situated in the Kodaikanal range of Tamil Nadu. Since then this holy region has been named, Pandrimalai - (Varaahagiri in Sanskrit). By the age of 17, Bhagwan Sri la Sri Pandrimalai Swamigal was already an “Athmagyani” and a “Siddhapurusha” (a self realized & a God realized soul). He was also a “Tathwagnaani” (one who has knowledge of the fundamental principles of God and Nature) and a “Namashivaya Siddha” (one who has knowlegde and mastery of the mystical or esoteric meaning of this mantra). Not equating himself with God, in his own words, he used to always declare that, “I am a devotee of Lord Muruga and shall always remain as HIS humble servant.. My spiritual sadhana is for the Divine Grace to flow for the good of humanity and all of Gods creation.” Bhagawan Sri La Sri Pandrimalai Swamigal being a “Siddha Purusha”, was invited to consecrate various Hindu Temples in India and abroad. Prominent among them being –The Vinayaka Temple, Flushing , New York, The Pittsburg Venkateswara Temple, The Nataraja Temple, Durban, South Africa and many more. He conceptualised the treatise on “Tatwa Daivam” – proving that, what is in the macrocosm –The universe, is also found in the microcosm - The human body.
