Sri Shãntãnanda Puri is a ‘parivrãjaka’ sanyasi (ascetic who keeps moving). He is the
disciple of Swami Purushotamanandaji Maharaj of Vasishta Guha, Himalayas, who is the disciple
of Swami Brahmananda (the great disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa).
Born in 1928, Sri Shãntãnanda Puri yearned for ascetic life since his younger days. He is known
for his simplicity and deep faith in Bhagavan; he is full of jnana and ‘vairagya’ (dispassion). His knowledge in
Vedic scriptures and Holy Texts like Srimad Bhagavatam is very deep. His elucidation of Bhagavad Gita, Yoga
Vasishta and Ashtravakra Gita have attracted the spiritually thirsty. He has written commentary on Siva Sahasranama
(Linga Purana). Ramanasramam has brought out an audiocassette of the Swami’s ‘Ramana Suprabhãtham’.
Guru in his own right, Sri Shãntãnanda Puri performs Bhãgavata upanyasa in English, Hindi and
Tamizh. He has authored Sri Bhãgavatam - its message for the modern man; Sadhanas in Bhagavad gita; Fragrant
flowers; The quantum leap into absolute.
Sri Shãntãnanda Puri puri was received with ‘poorna kumbham’ in Premika Bhavanam, by
Sri Mallikarjuna Sarma (Mukhya Adhyãpak of our Mission’s Veda Patasala) and his ‘vidyãrtis’.

others present with sugar candy. She blessed all
present with sugar candy.
Sri Swamiji then took Her to ‘Kalyana’ Srinivasa Perumal temple. Sri Swamiji and Sri Ammălu ammal
sat inside the ‘Garba graha’ (sanctum
sanctorum) while Her two attendants and the Veda Patasala boys sat in the corridor
just outside the ‘garba graha’.
Sri Ammalu ammal, accompanied by Ms. Srimati and Ms. Radhika at first sang one of
her earlier kirtans on Srinivasa Perumal. At Sri
Swamiji’s request they then sang few other Ammalu ammal’s kirtans. As they were
singing on Govinda, a new kirtan on Krishna began to
pour forth from Sri Ammalu ammal.
