Swami Sivananda Saraswati (1887–1963) was a 20th-century Indian yogi, spiritual luminary, and physician who emphasized the integration of yoga and Vedanta into a daily "Divine Life" for all, regardless of their background. After a career as a doctor in Malaysia, he founded the Divine Life Society in Rishikesh to spread his teachings, wrote over 300 books on spiritual topics, and inspired many students, including those who went on to establish modern yoga in the West. 

His core teachings promoted selfless service, love, and the pursuit of self-realization through the practice of yoga and meditation.  

Acharya Manikanthan Annan was from Nedumangnaadu near Trivandrum, Kerala. 

A man of few words and extreme compassion, a melodious singer of bhajans n devotional songs who guided his disciples through a silent and mischievous smile like Guruvaturappan Krishna.

A proficient Yogi in Rajayoga, Kundalini Yoga and many more. 

His influence on Shivaniji - Parvathi Haritsa, such that she was transformed by him just by his grace and look. 

Gold Medalist from the Indian Institute of Finance - a Bureaucrat, Entrepreneur, Yogi, Vedanta Scholar, Zen Master, Priest, Astrologer. Walks his talk. No drama and fooling people, just plain emodiement of self knowledge. You want to meet a living saint who practices every word he says?

A Loving father, grandfather and husband. Lived life to the fullest. One of the coolest people anyone could come across.

A hidden treasure.

He combines Vedic teachings with the mystic ways of Zen and says that both lead to each other. 

Prof. P. A. Seshan, master of the Vedas, Kundalini yoga which he learnt from Vedadri Maharishi in Chennai, a Zen master, also a Srividya upasaka (sri chakra anustan). "In these troubled times, leadership should not lose heart. We need effective leaders and zen will show the way," he reiterates. 

Seshan had the rare honour of training under German born Zen master, Enomiya Lassalle. A gold medallist in English literature at the post graduation level from Kerala University and a student of Physics, he has worked as General Manager of BHEL, Vice President of the Bhilwara group and as Executive Director of Keltron. He has been a professor of management as well. "Areas of interest where Zen will help tremendously are leadership and financial management. Stress management will lead to prosperity. You have to evolve into Zen and make it a way of life. Zen encompasses all philosophies and is a vast fathomless ocean, hence the need for a master. He will select what you need to practise. 

Zen meditation needs no prior qualifications and your ability to solve problems improves, life becomes effortless and you experience peace in the midst of intense activity. Prof. Seshan comes from a family of reputed vedic scholars and possesses some rare manuscripts. He has taught zen-vedic practises to more than 10,000. 

He uses a rare attunement process by which he empowers people to find answers themselves. He is also a vedic astrologer, psychic n palmist. Some internationally reputed astrologers in Kerala have been taught by him. He is founder-president of the Zen Foundation.

Prof.PA Seshan - He is a retired IAS officer, master of Yoga, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Astrology and Zen and was a management consultant before retiring. Epitome of humility & love, he looks like Indianized Gandalf of Lord of the Rings or Dumbledore of Harry Potter, with a long white beard, Indian Dhoti and shirt. He would always teach us something new every time – leadership tips, coping skills, some chants from Buddhism, breathe control techniques, Srividya upasana and Unconditional love as a way of living. One would always leave his home in bliss, energized and transformed to take on the professional world with rigor, passion and humility.

Professor Seshan learnt Yoga from Sri Krishnamacharya and was a classmate of BKS Iyengar. He also trained in the ancient art of Kundalini Yoga and Vedanta with the renowned Vedadri Maharishi for more than 3 decades. He had steady friendship with Swami Dayananda Saraswati, K. Pattabhi Jois.

He was the biggest exponent and Lineage holder of Kundalini (Sri Vidya) in India and has students who come to him from all around the world. He was a spiritual mentor to many and practiced the yogic way of life since he was 5. He was an ordained Zen monk (Roshi), a Reiki grandmaster, a Sri Vidya lineage holder, certified Ayurvedic doctor, and knew all esoteric sciences ranging from palmistry, astrology, homeopathy, naturopathy etc. Even at 86, he was still a thirsty student forever learning newer things.

A kind, wise and gentle soul. We know he will always be with us in spirit.

Sri Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati (born Dr. N. Prahalada Sastry in 1934) was an Indian nuclear physicist turned spiritual master and Tantric authority. He was born in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, and had spiritual experiences from a young age, though he initially pursued science, earning a PhD in quantum physics. After a life-altering divine experience, he dedicated his life to goddess worship and the ancient Sri Vidya tradition, founding the Devipuram center to teach the sacred feminine to all, especially women.  

Dr. N. Prahalada Sastry (1934-2015), a former university professor and nuclear physicist who left a successful 23-year career with the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai to begin work on the Devipuram temple in 1983. Now a noted spiritual guru, better known as Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati (and generally addressed as "Guruji"), Sastry reports that his creation of Devipuram was based on several visions of the Divine Mother, which specified both the design and mission of the temple complex. Each of the many murthis within the Sahasrakshi Meru Temple was individually sculpted to Sastry's specifications, physically manifesting his meditative visions of these deities.

Formally titled Swami Swaprakasananda Tirtha Hamsa Avadhuta, Anakapalle Gurugaru was born Narasimha Kodukula (Narasimha enters Guruji’s life yet again) on July 31, 1915, to Mahalakshmi and Suribabu Kodukula, members of a “pious family known for its religiosity” in the village of Veduruparthi, Andhra Pradesh.

“Even as a child, he made his presence felt by all alike,” A. Ramalinga Sastry, a longtime acquaintance, recalled years later. “Not because of his total disinterest in formal education, which he discontinued at the elementary level, or his obstinate mischief, but because of his habit of being in a deeply contemplative mood in opted solitude, going routinely into deep meditation most of the time, without any concern for the mundane.”

Over the years, Gurugaru encountered many of the greatest spiritual teachers of his time and took initiation into any number of spiritual lineages. A hagiography circulated for years among his devotees recounts the rather jaw-dropping details.

During his 20th year, Sri Gurugaru received initiation from Sri Poornananda Yogi, a disciple of the Tibetan guru Maru Maharishi. He was introduced to Śrī Vidyā upasana by Sri Kesari Kameswara Rao of the Madhvacharya lineage. “In his 32nd year, he received initiation into [the goddess forms known as] the 10 Mahavidyas, Sri Rajarajeswari and Vanadurga, and [into the] Saptasathi Chandi. He attained purna diksha [the highest initiation in Śrī Vidyā] from Sri Gnanananda Saraswathi of Anakapalle.

Traveling the length and breadth of India to enhance his spiritual knowledge, Sri Gurugaru mastered the 64 Tantras by the time he was 40 years old. By 43, he had learned 70 million mantras from the teachings of the 18 pīṭhams and many gurus. He spent a few years in Kashi [Varanasi] contemplating and analyzing the source of the mantras he had learned, greatly aided by Sri Dakshinamurthi Paramahamsa (1872–1954) of the Lalithanagar [section of] Visakhapatnam.

At the age of 58, he became a Vedic scholar with the grace of [the deity] Chintamani Mahavidyeswari. By 1980, in his 65th year, Sri Gurugaru felt the urge to renounce the material world and take up sannyasa. To this end, he traveled to the Sri Bhadrakali Mahapeetam at Haridwar’s Saptarishi Sarovar. Sanyasa Diksha was showered on him by [Gurugaru’s final guru] Srilasri Kalyanananda Bharati Tirtha Maharaj. Years later, with his Guru’s blessings, Sri Gurugaru took up the Avadhuta ashram.
