Maharshi met His Holiness Swamy Sathyananda Saraswathy at the age of 12 and became an inmate of the Ashram at the age of 14 in 1974. Maharshi then joined SRDM college’s very first batch for his course in Economics and completed his Masters in Economics . Studied at M G College of Kerala University and University college of Thiruvananthapuram.
As an attempt to uplift the Hindu community and to expose the organized media suppression of Hindu news, Swamiji eventually started a news paper called Punnyabhoomi. Maharshi worked as the chief organizer of the news paper constantly traveling across the length and breadth of Kerala since 1995. In 2001, Maharshi became the chief of operations for the news paper, published from Trichur.
Maharishi moved to Mysore in 2002 to anchor the mission activities in Karnataka. From 2003, Maharshi inclined more towards adhyathmic life, while continuing to manage operations in Karanataka. Maharshi then started traveling across India.
Maharshi had undertaken massive efforts of coordinating people and logistics for Sathakoti Lalitha Sahasranama Archana that was immediately followed by Sahasra Koti Lalitha Sahasranama Archana. Having worked very closely during his entire life time, Maharshi moved to Mysore and after the Maha Samadhi of Swamiji, he registered Sree Swami Sathyananda Foundation to materialize the vision and mission of his Guruji. In the year 2010, Maharshi shifted his center of activities to Sree Dharmashathagiri Ayyappa Swami Temple and made it his spiritual head quarters.
Maharshi made his mark in the Indian subcontinent by executing a very successful Sri Rama Rajya Ratha Yatra from Ayodhya to Rameshwaram in 2018 against strong oppositions from some political and religious parties in Tamilnadu and Kerala.
The second Ramarajya Rathya yatra was from Rameshwaram to Ayodhya for 41 days from MahaSivarathri to Sree Rama Navami with the sankalpa of Sree Rama’s vanvas for 14 months in the Kaliyuga for the killing of demonic forces and establishing Ramarajya by constructing Rama Temple in Rama Janma Bhoomi itself. When the yatra concluded in Ayodhya with Sree Rama Pattabhishekam, the sankalpa came true with the verdict from Supreme Court of India in favor of Ram Mandir.
The Third historic National Ratha Yatra Swamiji connecting Bharath and Nepal covering 22 States in India and traveling across 15000 Kms in 70 days was in the Sankalpa of Sree Ram’s Digvijay Yatra and Ashwamedh. Yatra started from Ayodhya on Vijayadashami day, inaugurated by Mahaneeya Champathraj Ji and blessed by Sree Yogi Adityanath Ji, traveled through 7 provinces of Nepal, went up to Jammu, Vaishnavi Devi and proceeded to Kanyakumari via the western coastal line of India and returned back to Ayodhya via the eastern coastal line on Geeta Jayanti day, followed by Ashwamedham (Yagam) at Ayodhya with two demands.
1) Change the name of India to Bharath
2) Include Ramayana in School Syllabus.
Both these were approved by the Modi Government.
