'Sri Pothuluru Veerabrahmendra Swami' the Indian Nostradamus Saint (Telugu: పోతులూరి వీరబ్రహ్మేంద్రస్వామి) a Hindu mystic, Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh state in India. He was the author of Klagnaana, a collection of predictions about future or prophecies, a Telugu text that predicts the arrival of Kalki in the form of Sri Veerabhoga Vasantaraya.
He is the author of Kalagnanam, a text in Telugu that predicts the arrival of Kalki in the form of Sri Veerabhoga Vasantarayalu. A fifteen year old, came to the Ashram to become a disciple of Veera Brahmendra Swami. He named the boy Siddhayya who turned out to be the most loyal and devoted of his disciples. Siddhayya is none other than Ananda Bhairava and in accepting him as disciple Sri Brahmendra Swami was fulfilling a boon he granted earlier. Brahmendra Swami gave Sidddayya initiation into many spiritual practices including Taraka Yoga.
He wrote 'Kalagnanam', collections of prophecies on palm leaves. Most of his predictions came true and many are yet to happen. Also known as Indian Nostradamous by west, he said he will come again to this earth as 'Veera Bhoga Vasantharayalu' and that would mean the end of life on earth. He prophesized that before his arrival the world would be in a very chaotic condition. Swami left his body with his self imposed 'Sajeeva Samadhi'. He went into Samādhi when he was still alive and asked to close the stone above.

Was Veera Bramendra a Saivite and was there any connection with Saivaism. did he actually say that he was going to return and veera bohga vasandhraayaa
ReplyDeleteThe reason I ask is that the History of my Spiritual Master here in South Africa says that He descends from a very devout Telugu Veera Saiva Family. For almost 60 years now, a song which He wrote has been a puzzle to us all. This is it:
61. தருணம் இதே
தருணம் இதே தருணம் இதே
வீரபோக நீ வாவா வீரபோக நீ வாவா
மருளைத் துடைத்த மெஞ்ஞான முனியே வீரபோக நீ வாவா
இருளைத் துடைத்த நன் சிவஞான போதா வீரபோக வசந்த்ராயா
ஜகமெல்லாம் போற்றும் ஜக குருபரனே வீரபோக நீ வாவா
சுக பிரம்ம ஞானிகள் யாவரும் போற்றிடும் வீரபோக வசந்த்ராயா
61. Tharunnam Idheh
Tharunnam Idheh Tharunnam Idheh
Veerabohga Nee Vaavaa Veerabohga Nee Vaavaa
Marullai Thudaitha Mennyaana Muniyeh Veerabohga Nee Vaavaa
Irullai Thudaitha Nan Sivanyaana Bohdhaa Veerabohga Vasandhraayaa
Jagamellaam Pohtrum Jaga Gurubaraneh Veerabohga Nee Vaavaa
Suga Bramma Nyaanigall Yaavarum Pohtridum Veerabohga Vasandhraayaa
Now, my spiritual master, Veera Bramma Shree Siva SuppramaNiya GuruswaamigaL, is Saiva Sithaandhan. Here in South Africa, a book called the Veera Bohga Vasandhraayaa is chanted during Puruttaasi in praise of VishNu so, the book is very much inclined towards VaishNavam and Prophecy and, the author is said to be called Veera Bohga Vasandhraayaa. So, you see our dilemma. This was until I decided to research and came upon the name Veera Bramendra Swamy. As I skipped through all the sites, it was the same thing until I found a site which said that he was also known as Veera Brammamoo Gaaru. I refer you to the Life History of my Master www.saiva-sithantha-sungum.org. please note that all the info on this site isn’t correct but, the part I want you to read (which appears below the pictures on the home page, around the second paragraph) is true as we have it in His hand-writing, together with script in Telugu which we can’t read, let alone, understand.
Did Veera Bramendra Swami actually say that He accepted all? Or could this just be an imposed modern idea that is making its rounds at the moment on a traditional and sketchy history to make the kaalanyaana more appealing? Remember, by the 16th century, the attire of one belonging to a certain sect was pretty much finalised and, even in that time, people were devoted to a certain path. Saiva Sithaandhans respect all religions and do not condemn but, revere their own and will defend it if attacked. In this song, which I believed is dedicated to Veera Bramendra Swami, GuruswaamigaL is saying that He taught the Wisdom of the Siva Nyaana Bohdham, as imparted to earth by ThenmugakaDavuL/DhakshaNamoorthi via Thiru MeykaNDa Sivam. This article also says that Bramendra Swami’s chief disciple preached Athuvidham/Adwaita. Now, if Bramendra Swami accepted all, He would not have accepted only Adwaita. It will be impossible to also accept Dwaita. Now, the question arises, which interpretation of Adwaita did He expound on. My money is on Suthadwaita which is the philosophy of Saiva Sithaandham as been taught, on earth, since the Thirumandhiram by classified by MeykaNDa. Suthadwaita has also been proven to be the only correct interpretation of Adwaita. Note that the tag line of GuruswaamigaL’s organisation here in SA is Athuvidha Yohga Kazhagam.
ReplyDeleteThere is a state experienced by a soul following in the path of Saiva Sithaandham, to which, Veera Saivam is a tradition. The state is called Sivameh yaam; also referred to as Thathvamasi and Sivohgam Baavanai. In such a state, the soul sees all as Sivan. Sivan as Mahabramma the Ultimate Creator, as Mahaa Vishnu the Ultimate Preserver, as Mahaa Rudhraa the Ultimate Dissolver… apart from that, it is realised that Sivan alone makes the various celestials perform their various duties by existing with the in a non-dual (Adwaita) state – He exists together with everything, as everything and different from everything, simultaneously. In this state, everything is Sivan. Remember, VishNu as KrishNa experienced this and also gave ArjuNa a taste of it (Vishvaroobam). Therefore he is respected by Saivites but isn’t given the same status as the Naayanmaar. Reason being is that KrishNa did not maintain this state whilst the Naayanmaar did. What are the chances that VishNu returned a spiritually mature soul as Veera Bramendra Swami and is currently in samaadhi performing penance to Sivan to receive the ‘sword’ that Kalki uses to put an end to Kali Yoogam? Remember, Sivan has been given quite a superior role in the Avadhaaarams of VishNu. Saivaism itself respects VishNu as a Saivite.
My next question, what is the Aathmaanyaanam about?
Please share whatever information anyone of you can with me at yagendhrengovender@yahoo.com
Very Nice ......thanks
