01. Avathar Seshadri Swamigal – childhood (Bala paruvam) 1870 – 1889 (Kanchipuram)

Om Sathguru Sri Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadikkae


Goddess Sri Kamakshi Devi was very pleased with the Kamakoti Sastrigal family.

Avathar Sri Seshadri Swamigal was born as the incarnation of Lord Shiva/Devi, in the early hours of a Saturday, on 22nd January, 1870, to the blessed divine couple, Maragatham and Varadarajar.


The baby was like a golden doll full of tejas (radiance), on his face.

He looked like the full moon.


Since the child was born on a Saturday, the baby was named “SESHADRI”, in obeisance to the Lord Srinivasa of Tirupati and which also happened to be the name of their ancestor.

Maragatham, on Seshadri:

– the Sakora birds of Bharat would drink the divine nectar flowing from the face of her baby Seshadri.

– the lotus eyes of her baby Seshadri would be alchemy to remove the sins of mankind.

– His lips and tongue are the lions on which Goddess Saraswathi would sit.
