The person known as Anandaghana was born in a very traditional
family in nadakuduru village of Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh, as Aripirala
Viswam, a name befitting his stature. His father, Sri Laxmi Narayana Shastri
and his forefathers belonged to vedic scholars from banaras. The vedic lineage
can be traced back to nearly 37 generations. Various peetadhipathis and
personages used to consult Sri laxmi Narayana shastri, he was also the Asthana Vidwan
to Mysore royalty and Sringeri peetam.
The child viswam was born
like any normal child, but for fact that, because of his previous births, which
is a bundle of spiritualism, is evident from the fact, that the parama guru,
SRI SRI MAHAVATAR BABAJI designated a yogi, for the child’s guidance. The boy
grew up as a true son of the soil, but displayed amazing talents in poetry,
arts and oratory. He went on to receive the distinguished award from the World
poetic society in New York (for English poetry). He addressed the United Nations
Mystic Group and enthralled the audience, at his young age. He was noted as one
of the 2000 most intellectual people of the planet. He was decorated with 9 doctorates
from 9 different countries, apart from his own doctorate in Hyderabad. He was
awarded the Sahitya Academy Award and was also the convenor of the first World
Telugu conference held at Hyderabad. He embellished several posts in several
institutions as Member, or Director or Chairman. At the height of his wealth
and fame, he vanished from the public life totally, in deference to the command
of his Guru, accepted self-imposed exile and obscurity.
He started parampara Viswambara, a Trust in 1980 at the command of
Sri Sri Mahavatar Babaji, for the spiritual upliftment of fellow beings. If he
is not a pet of the divine mother and his guru, these writings and expositions
are not possible, which is evident by reading any of his works. Through his
writings and commentaries, he is endeavouring to extricate SRI VIDYA, the King of
all Vidyas from the morass, it had been discarded to and restore it to its pristine
glory.
‘’Anandaghana’’ is the
deeksha name given by Sri Sri Mahavatar Babaji, who is the parama Guru.
Traverse towards light (Jyothi) and laya is imparted to the
sincere spirituals seekers through KRIYA YOGA and dhyana/Meditation under the guidance
of anandaghana in parampara viswambara.
