Sri Seshadri Swamigal was known for
his great spiritual eminence and for his yogic (spiritual
aspirant seeking union with God through mental and physical
disciplines) power through tapas(austerities). An elaborate
study of his life reveals that he was an ascetic of a very
high calibre who had thorough control of senses, both
physically and mentally. His self restraint is commendable.
He inculcated the habit of performing the tapas, mantras and
sadhanas (spiritual practice) from a very young age which
helped him in developing various siddhis(supernatural

INTRODUCTION
Everyone at some stage in his life, sits up and thinks: Where from he came? Where is he heading for? What is he doing? And what he should do? He also ponders as to how to overcome death and how to get salvation. He longs for God - realisation while still in this body and understands that such God-realisation is the knowledge that destroys death and grants everlasting bliss and that it is the paramount need of any man before the body may drop down any moment. Here he looks for guidance and feels assured that God has not left him in lurch. India, has given to mankind several Saints, Sages, Rishis, Sidda-purushas from time to time.
