Shri Balu Swamigal Attained Maha Samadhi…

balu mama

HH Swaminatha Indra Saraswathi Swamigal (“Shri Balu Swamigal”) reached the Lotus feet of Sri MahaPeriyava today.

Shri Balu Swamigal’s Adishtana Pravesam can be viewed below. Hearty thanks to Vignesh Studios for this video and photos.

Royapuram Balu fondly called as “Balu Mama” has served Sri MahaPeriyava for many many years. Our eyes can’t skip the sight of Shri Balu Mama (in Purvaasharama) in most of the pictures of Sri MahaPeriyava. That symbolizes his journey with MahaPeriyava for decades and decades. He has been one of the Shiva Ghanas in human body serving our Periyava who is Saksat Parameshwaran.

PERIYAVA 729

Our Shraddanjali to Shri Balu Swamigal.

So many devotees… so many experiences… and in numerous incidents, the name “Balu Mama” gets mentioned repeatedly with so much fondness and respect.

Here is a small video snippet of a devotee from Wisdom’s Golden Rod who had darshan of Sri MahaPeriyava in 1986. She remembered Shri Balu Mama so vividly (by name even after 25+ years) along with her experience with Sri MahaPeriyava…

Few droplets from the ocean of Experiences with MahaPeriyava By Shri Balu Swamigal can be seen here:

Also, Shri Balu Swamigal’s experiences can be read in English here.

    Extremely sad news. The thought of MahaPeriyava inevitably brings up thoughts of all these Thondars. Namaskarams to all these blessed souls. It was sheer magic to behold the sight of MahaPeriyava surrounded by these Thondars. Blessed doubly that it is Uttarayana Punya Kalam. Shankara !!

      Aha! MahaPeriyava has given darshan (in your dream) & blessed as told by Sri Balu Swamigal… How doubly blessed you are!

      Will the KarunAmoorthy Periyava ever deny what HIs Sevaka request?

      Serving the Sevaka of Periyava & taking the blessings are the surest way to reach MahaPeriyava….

    My father (Late Shri K V Srikantan) had a close association with Shri Balu Swamiji when my father had the golden opportunity to have darshan of Maha Periyava during his government service in Kancheepuram. Our entire family know him many decades.

    Om Namo Narayana ! Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !

    Have witnessed Shri Balu Swamigal doing something unexplainable…

    Recently, out of his compassion, like His Periyava, had blessed one of the brahmachari of very little age & who is also not closely known to him, “Periyavaakku sevai seitha punyathil paathi unakku kotuththEn!” & blessed him.

    His life itself is a sacrifice by serving Periyava… And at the end to say like this.. need something more special… Poorna blessing from Periyava!

    Ananthakoti NamaskAram to Sri Balu Swamigal aka Sri Swaminathendra Swamigal…

    Ram. Ram.
    Jai GuruDev!

    I am shocked to hear about Maha samadhi of Shri Balu Swamigal . His devotion and love for
    Maha Periyava is unique. A rare soul that dedicated himself to Him right from his youth, and served him so nobly till his last breath. A Gem of a devotee and disciple rolled into one, he freely shared with
    other devotees his experiences . He formed a bridge between Bhagavan and bhakta as it were.
    The Math and the devoteedom has suffered an irreparable loss .
    Shri Ra.Ganapati was very fond of Shri Balu,and Shri Balu too had great reverence and affection for
    Anna He gave Anna manuscript of experiences of himself for use by him in his books on
    Maha Periyava.. Anna wondered about his great memory reg. even day to day events with Maha
    Periyava. He used to recall and recapture the events so vividly bringing us to feel as if we were
    witnessing them. In his books on Maha Periyava,Anna lavishly quoted from His reminiscences.

    Sri Balu mama had Remarkable memory, total devotion and firm faith in Mahaperiva,. He was highly loyal, great in recalling all the incidents and never wavered from truth.

    All his vivid experiences on Paramacharya are cent percent pure and unadulterated. Sathyam. He reached the lotus feet of his favourite and ultimate on Bhishma Ekadesi Utharayana punya Kalam. He is at peace now.

    BALU SWAMIGAL WAS A TRUE DEVOTEE OF MAHA PERIVA AND ADMIRED AND WORSHIPPED MAHAPERIVA
    TRUELY. THE GREAT END CAME ON THE BHISHMA EKADASI AND THIS SHOWS BALU SWAMIGAL’S SINCERE
    DEVOTION TO MAHAPERIVA.

    Anantha Koti Koti Koti Namaskaram to Sri SwaminathEndra Sarawathi Swamigal…

    None in the last part of the last century could recollect Periyava without saying Sri Balu Mama…such is His non-stop service to Periyava.

    He used to be the bridge between us & Periyava most of the time…introducing us/ our families to Periyava…now we wonder where to seek for…

    Yes. Sri Swamigal must have reached Periyava who is Sri Swamigal’s talk, breath & what not…

    Prayers to Sri Swamigal to remember us & introduce us again to Periyava abode…

    Anantha Koti Koti Koti Namaskaram, again.

    Ram. Ram.
    Jai GuruDev!

    Anantha Koti Namaskarams to the Swamigal !

    We are very fortunate to be related to him in his poorvashramam. He was my father’s first cousin.He adored my father very much.

    We are very grateful to the almighty to have known him personally.

    Our prayers and respects to the swamigal who served Paramacharyal with pure devotion.
