BIOGRAPHY OF SRI BHAGAVAN

A short biography of Sri Bhagavan

 

Supported and loved by more than a 100 million people, Sri Amma Bhagavan are the founders and the inspiration behind the Oneness University. They are one single consciousness in two bodies. Together Amma and Bhagavan power the process of awakening in the individual seeker. They are like the spirit, all pervading yet abiding in the deepest recesses of one's Being. They are the silent Presence powering the phenomenon of Oneness Blessing everywhere. Far removed from the periphery of the various activities of the movement they reside at the Oneness temple.

Bhagavan was born on the 7th of March 1949 in the town of Natham, North Arcot District in the state of Tamil Nadu, South India to Mrs. Vaidharbi and Mr. Varadharajalu as the first child. He was given the name Vijay Kumar. He has two brothers and a sister. He was a very unusual child, always introspective and only concerned about how to give mankind total freedom. Today, we recognize Sri Bhagavan and his partner Amma as Divine Avatars, very rare beings who can give liberation to practically any-body. They take complete responsibility for giving complete enlightenment to all seekers and are not satisfied with giving some nice teachings, temporary states or performing some miracles.

When asked “When did this change in consciousness come to you?” Sri Bhagavan replies: There has been no change in my consciousness since I was a little child. I never had a guru. Even as a little child riding on the shoulders of a giant-like servant or sitting under a tree while my friends played, my only concern was humanity’s suffering. I would silently sob, choke and faint, experiencing humanity’s suffering. My body does not have a limitation. The consciousness of my body is limitless and hence it experiences all that man experiences. "My only passion ever since I came into this planet has been to end humanity’s suffering. And I knew to end suffering, mankind needed to enter into an altered state of consciousness. I also knew that man was helpless and it has to be given to him and I decided to give it.

"The miracles that Amma and I perform are merely manifestation of the compassion and love we feel for you. It is simply the power of our consciousness that is making this neuro-biological transformation in the brain possible, leading you to enlightenment.”

BIOGRAPHY OF 'AMMA' PADMAVATI
A short biography of Amma Padmavati, the wife of Sri Bhagavan

Sri Amma was born the 15th of August 1954 in the beautiful village Sangham in the state of Andhra Pradesh, South India. She is loved for her wisdom and childlike simplicity and has difficulties in saying no when asked. That is said to be one reason of the tremendous miracles happening when people ask her for help. Amma had already become quite well known for her mystic powers, and her ability to grant boons and perform miracles. She was regarded in her village as an aspect of the Divine Mother.. We could say that Bhagavan and Amma are one being in two bodies and both of them can transfer the state of Oneness to any amount of people. Bhagavan is guiding this process while Amma is generating tremendous energy so that the Oneness state will become available for everybody.

When Bhagavan and Padmavati were introduced to each other, they immediately recognized each other and knew that they were meant to be together and work together. Their marriage took place on June 9, 1977. They have a son by name 'Krishna'. When asked about healing, Bhagavan often tells people to ask Amma as she will react faster than him since she is an embodiment of Shakti, the feminine divine power. Those who have an inner contact (friendship) with both Bhagavan as well as Amma will get Oneness much easier as there will be harmony of yin and yang within.

In the 1980's Sri Amma, Bhagavan, and his friend and disciple from childhood, Shankarji, opened a spiritual school called Jeevashram. The divine phenomenon took birth in July 1989, when suddenly the students began to experience great states of cosmic consciousness. Great miracles became a daily happening in the lives of these students and many of them became like real prophets and mystics. After some time Bhagavan and Amma selected six students as their direct disciples and began their real project--to transfer the Oneness state to mankind.

From this humble official beginning in 1991 Sri Bhagavan's Golden Age Movement has today approximately 30-40 millions members from all over the world. This number is increasing daily and many new countries get added every passing year.
