Bio data
'''

Sivaraja Yogi Ayya Swamikal was born in 1814 on Aswathy asterism in Nakalapuram.His original name was Subharayan. His grandfather Sri Hrishikesan and his father Sri Muthukumaran were great yogis and were migrated to Tamilnadu from Pampumkadu in Malabar during Tipu Sultan’s aggression. Lord Subramanya was their family deity. At the age of 12, Subharayan received spiritual initiation fromtwo Tamil Saints, Sachidananda Maharaj and Sri Chitti Paradeshi who used tovisit Subharayans family frequently. When he was 16,the Saints took him with them to Burma ,Singapore, Penang and Africa .During this period Subharaya acquired and practiced yogic techniques of high order. Returning home after 3 years he continued yogic practices, often entering the state of “Nirvikalpa Samadhi”. Gradually he acquired the Ashtasidhies or divine powers including that of astral travel, but his Gurus strictly warned him not to use them to gain material advantage.

At the age of 27, in accordance with his Guru’s wishes Swamikal visited Kodungalloor Devi temple in Kerala and from their he toured Travancore. The Mother Goddess appeared in her “Poorna swaroopam” before Ayya at Thycaud in Trivandrum, where he destined to spend the remaining part of his life. Swathy Thirunal, the then Maharaja of Travancore, heard about the spiritual eminence of Ayya ,invited him to his palace and became his disciple.Swamikal visited Sri Vaikunda Padar of Nagarcoil (Swami thoppu) and visited the famous Maruthwamalai.

When his father left to Kasi ,Subharayan had to look after the family.To obey his Guru, Ayya married Kamalammal from Kollam and the couple had three sons and two daughters. However Ayya continued his spiritual practices while living the married life. Ayya was a great scholar in Tamil and gained good proficiency in English. He used to deliver spiritual discourses at the “Ashtapathana Sabha” in Chennai. Ayya was supplying goods to military camp in Chennai, where he came in contact with the Mess Secretary Mr.Mc Gregor. Mc Gregor learned Tamil and Yoga from Ayya. During the reign of Maharaja Ayillum Thirunal, Mr.Mc Gregor became the Resident of Travancore.He appointed Ayya as the Manager of his Residency in Thycaud. From 1873 up to a week before his Mahasmadhi on 20th July 1909(Karkadakam, makom nal) Ayya continued in the post. People respectfully called him “Superintend Ayya”.

Swamikal kept strict discipline in work and was extremely punctual. At his residence he spent most of his time in meditation and in initiating and instructing his disciples in spiritual practices. Ayya used to deliver lectures on Bhakthi, Yoga and Vedanta in Jnanaprakasha Sabha at Petta, during which leading literary, social and spiritual personalities in and around Trivandrum used to meet Ayya Guru. Swamikal with the help of Manonmaneeyam Sundaram Pillai, the first MA holder of Travancore (father of former finance minister P.S.Nataraja Pillai) founded the famous ”Saiva Prakasha Sabha” of chalai,Trivandrum
