1988 | Rare Photographs of The Avatar donning the Saffron Robe Given to Him by Aruṇagiri Yogīśvara
Description:
1988 | This very rare photograph of The young Avatār at around the age of 10, was discovered in Tiruvannamalai by the biography team, with a veteran photographer of the temple town.
In this photograph, The Avatār is seen at Pavala Kundru, where He practically spent most part of His childhood. It is also the place where He had the enlightenment experience between the age of 11 and 12. And it is the place where His Vedānta and Tantra Guru Mata Vibhutānanda Puri built the first Aadheenam (monastery) for Him, recognising Him as a spiritual leader who was going to transform the lives of millions. The building she built can be seen in the picture behind Him as a small narrow unfinished strip in front of the temple-like structure.
Here, The Avatār is wearing the saffron robe of initiation into sanyas (monkhood), given to Him by Aruṇagiri Yogīśvara, the embodiment of Paramaśiva, who took the human form of an ascetic, and played the role of His Guru for a period of nine and a half months in the physical plane.
