Sri Seshadri Swamigal, also known as the "Saint with a Golden Hand", was a male Indian saint born in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, who predominantly lived in Thiruvannaamalai where he attained Samadhi (state of meditative consciousness) Sri Seshadri Swamigal was born on 22 January 1870, a Saturday. According to a recent Hindu mythology (see note below), Varadaraja Sastrigal and Maragatham were yearning for a male child to continue their family lineage. One night, Mother Kamakshi appeared in the Sastrigal dream and instructed, "Offer butter and a child of wisdom shall be born" Sri Adi Sankara established specific methods of worship for the goddess Kamakshi. He brought 30 devotees and their families from the banks of the Narmada to Kanchipuram to ensure that these methods of worship were adequately followed. These devotees, who had Kamakshi as their family deity and were responsible for the spread of Srividya Upasana, were called "Kamakoti Yaar." All those belonging to the lineage of the Kamakoti Yaar are devotees of Kamakshi. At 19, he met Sri Balaji Swamigal, a wandering saint from North India, an avadut. Sri Balaji Swamigal gave Seshadri sannyasa diksha (the only formal diksha Seshadri is said to have) and instructed him in the Mahavakyas, the holy sayings of the 4 Vedas. Shortly after, Seshadri Swamigal started traveling to various Tamil Nadu spots, eventually ending up at Tiruvannamalai within a year. Seshadri Swamigal moved about Tiruvannamalai for 40 years, an ascetic with a total disregard for either name or form. Seshadri Swamigal and Ramana Maharshi were contemporaries. Seshadri arrived at Arunachala six years earlier than Ramana. When Ramana Maharshi came to Tiruvannamalai seven years after Seshadri Swami gal's arrival, Seshadri took care of Ramana Maharshi. Sri Seshadri tried to protect the young swami, who seemed entirely unaware of his body and surroundings. He cleansed Ramana's blood-oozing wounds and revealed Ramana as a [saint] to the world. Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi was called Chinna Seshadri by one and all for the same proclivity to Mouna, deep meditation and Sadhana. Vallimalai Swamigal was a saint (b.1870) who was responsible for the spread of Thiruppugazh and was a disciple of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. Once Bhagavan ordered him to go down to the foot of the Arunachala hill, which order Vallimalai Swamigal complied with. At the foot of the hill, Sri Seshadri Swamigal, absorbed in Eternal Consciousness by embracing a buffalo, initiated Vallimalai Swamigal into Aatma Ma Girijamati, one of the slokas composed by Sri Adi Shankara. He then told Vallimalai Swamigal to devote his life to the spread of Thiruppugazh. When Vallimalai Swamigal began spreading the beauty of Thiruppugazh from Vallimalai, once an old man came, asking alms and consumed 1.5 kg of porridge and vanished from the scene, when his disciples went looking for the person with such a ravenous appetite. From the next day, a mongoose would consume the food meant for the old man. Likewise, after Seshadri Swamigal Mahasamadhi, the caretaker of the burial grounds of Tiruvannamalai yearned to see Swamigal, and Swamigal graced him by telling him to go to Vallimalai. The caretaker saw the mongoose eating the food, people singing Thirupugazh to it, and suddenly, the mongoose transformed into Seshadri Swamigal before disappearing from there. A similar miracle was demonstrated to Sri Vallimalai Swamigal when Seshadri Swamigal was in his physical form by telling him to board a train to Vallimalai, promising to join him. Vallimalai Swamigal, on reaching Vallimalai, completing his daily ablutions and turning around, suddenly saw Seshadri Swamigal (who had intentionally missed the train from Tiruvannamalai), saw him transform into a squirrel that jumped onto the nearby trees and disappeared.
