Malladihalli Sri Raghavendra Swamiji May 2026

Born in 1920, the Swamiji showed an inclination towards spirituality and physical fitness from a young age. He took Sannyasa (monastic vows) at a very young age. He did not view spiritualism as an escape from the world but as a means to serve society through physical and mental well-being.

: Interestingly, Sadhguru (Jaggi Vasudev) recalls meeting him at age 13 and being inspired by the 80-year-old Swamiji's incredible agility and ability to climb wells faster than children. Major Contributions malladihalli sri raghavendra swamiji
