Sree Shubhanandha Gurudevan The birth of Subhananda itself was something wonderful, very peculiar and special. His parents had no issues for a period of 24 years sine marriage. Subhananda’s father Ittyathi, of Malayilthara house, Padinjare Venpaala Village, Nedumbram Panchayath, Thiruvalla Taluk, Alappuzha District, Kerala State (then Travancore), South Insdia, was a simple and noble astrologer, and Mother Kochuneeli (Kulakkal House, Budhanoor Village, Chengannur Taluk) was a very himble, pious and cultured woman. The holy couples were leading a life of prayer, fasting and penance from 14.11.1869 (1045 Vrischikam 1) onwards they had been deeply and continuously praying for the gift of a child, visiting the holy places and temples, performing several Poojas and Bhajans. At last Kochuneeli performed 41 days continuous rigorous Bhajan, from 15th November 1880 (1056 Vrischikam 1) onwards, at a Saalagramma* (* A kind of stone sacred to Vishnu, found in the river Gandaki) )Temple at Changanassery.  On the 41st day, on 26.12.1881 (1057 Dhanu 12), the priest of the temple after giving Prasad of two banana fruits to her, and on knowing that she chose the smaller fruit to eat, predicted that she will soon give birth to a worldly renowned child.  Thus after the long twenty four years of worshipping and holy awaiting, the fortunate Kochuneeli at the age of forty gave birth to the blessed child.

Thus by the Grace of God, as predetermined, the Incarnated, Lord Subhananda was born on 28th April 1882 (1057 Medam 17), Friday on Pooram Nakshtra (Star), in the scheduled caste Sambava (Paraya) family; (Kulakkal House, at Budhanoor villate), to the devout Sambava couoples Ittyathi and Kochu Neeli, blissfully named as Darayanan (A synonym of Lord Maha Vishnu).

Narayanan was smart, handsome individual and very perceptive of all that was happening around him. Through he was a little naughty during his childhood; his parents never punished him even with harsh words. His father had given him primary literacy as low caste children were not allowed to school at that time. His childhood was an ordinary uneventful one till he had an enlightening experience of Divine Transition at the age of 7.
