About Sri Yogi

Birth and Spiritual Heritage

Sri Yogi was born on August 18, 1975, in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, a sacred region associated with Sree Padmanabhaswamy. This area is rich in spiritual significance, with a long-standing tradition established by Sri Atmarama Swami in 596 AD, which continues to shape the temples and spiritual centers today. Sri Yogi's family plays an essential role in this lineage, as many of his ancestors, including sadhus and rishis, have attained Samadhi at esteemed temples, thereby preserving the spiritual legacy into the present.

Early Life and Struggles

Sri Yogi spent his formative years in various family residences. His first home was with his great-grandmother at Moopanvilakam, Murukkumpuzha. He later moved to his grandfather's house in Thopil, Murukkumpuzha, where he lived until the age of three. When he turned four, the family established their own home in Murukkumpuzha.

At the age of seven, Sri Yogi was diagnosed with epilepsy, which significantly impacted his physical and mental well-being. He received treatment at the Government Medical College in Thiruvananthapuram. However, by the time he reached nine, his condition had deteriorated, and he faced a near collapse.

Spiritual Transformation

During his challenging health journey, Sri Yogi encountered two transformative sadhus who profoundly changed the trajectory of his life. With the steadfast support of his mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, he embarked on a quest for spirituality. At the tender age of ten, Sri Yogi began his search for the Divine Goddess Kali, which ultimately led him to his Guru, Srimath Paramahamsa Ananda Sri Sri Kalidasa Swami, in Pillathadam, Maruthwamalai, Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu.

Under his Guru's guidance, Sri Yogi not only conquered his medical challenges but also attained spiritual enlightenment. By the age of fifteen, he developed divine vision, allowing him to foresee events concerning his family's future. In pursuit of deeper wisdom, he spent six months and seven and a half days in Samadhi under the mentorship of the renowned Siddha, Kalidasa Swami. Kalidasa Swami advised him to fulfill his worldly responsibilities before fully embracing the spiritual path, prompting Sri Yogi to work abroad while nurturing his spiritual growth.

Education & Professional Life

Before fully embracing the spiritual path, Sri Yogi lived a remarkably accomplished worldly life. He is a multifaceted professional with a dynamic career spanning architecture, design, education, entrepreneurship, and wellness. With over two decades of diverse experience across India, the UAE, and Switzerland, he has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence in both technical disciplines and community service.

His academic journey began in India, where he earned a School Leaving Certificate in 1994, followed by a Diploma in Architecture Engineering in 1996. He went on to complete a Bachelor of Architecture in 2004, and enriched his portfolio with two MBAs in Finance and Human Resource Development — one from Switzerland in 2006 and another from India in 2017.

His passion for design led him to numerous certifications and diplomas in specialised areas:

• AutoCAD, 3D MAX, Graphic & Interior Design, Animation, and Special Effects
• Certifications in Microsoft & Revit software
• A Private Flying License and a Flight Radio Telephone Operator’s License, reflecting his interest in aviation
• A French Language Certificate

Design & Architecture (1999–2009)

He transitioned into architectural and design roles in Dubai, working as a draughtsman, 3D designer, and interior designer, ultimately rising to Conceptual Designer Manager by 2009.

Spiritual Leadership & Work

After decades of contributions in architecture, design, wellness, entrepreneurship, and community service, Sri Yogi renounced all material pursuits to embrace the path of spiritual liberation — becoming an Avadhootha, a realized being beyond ego and attachment, rooted in inner stillness and universal oneness. His journey now continues in silence and simplicity, a living embodiment of detachment, wisdom, and unconditional presence.

In 2011, he founded the Sri Sahasrara Yogishwara Swami Mahapeetam, a charitable trust based in Bengaluru with branches across India. As the 45th Peethadhipati in a long lineage of Avadhootas, he serves both spiritual and social causes:
