1990 | The Young Avatar’s photo after His enlightenment experience at the age of 12
Description:
1990 | Shortly after His enlightenment experience at the age of 12, The young Avatar’s Yoga Guru Yogananda Puri arranged for a photoshoot to take portrait pictures of Him. This is the first ever picture of The Avatar in samadhi in Tiruvannamalai, His birth place.
He would apply vibhuti (sacred ash) in 16 places on His body as per the Hindu tradition. He is sitting on a deer skin given to Him by Yogananda Puri.
The photographer who took this picture was the same person who witnessed and captured Him in levitation while training with Yogananda Puri.
One can see in The Avatar’s own handwriting, the words Sulumunai Dhyanam (meaning Kundalini meditation) in Tamil on top, and His name A.Rajasekaran at the bottom. The studio where this was taken is Kala Studio as evidence by the label in the bottom right corner.
It was behind this photograph that The Avatar had drawn a picture of Himself in answer to a question as to how He would look when He grew up.
