Maniyettan’s spiritual Guru was Shri. Narayanan, alias Thadhathan. In his Ashramam called Thapovarishtashram, Maniyettan had conducted regular Yoga classes as well as spiritual discourses free of cost. Eventually, on the banks of the sacred river Shokanashini in Chittur, he thatched his own little humble kuteer and lived there. After a cold bath in the river, he sat on a rock amidst the river for meditation, and he practiced and taught Yoga and meditation to others as well.

The Jeevasamadhi of Guru Maniswami
The Jeevasamadhi of Guru Maniswami
Transcending Consciousness
Transcending Consciousness
The Yogi, by all means, can transcend their own awareness into a complete state of eternal consciousness, even while alive. Such Yogis can easily withdraw all their senses whenever they desire and delight in the state of ultimate harmony between the principles of Jeevathma (the individual’s soul) and Paramathma (the Eternal Soul). Remaining in this harmonious state, a Yogi’s subtle body and etheric energy commune with eternal consciousness, a state known as Samadhi . At this stage, birth and death become irrelevant, as physical consciousness is transcended. Even if a Yogi’s life force liberates from their body at this point, it is not considered death, but rather Samadhi , as they have already merged into Universal Consciousness.

Jeevasamadhi: The ultimate state
Jeevasamadhi: The ultimate state
If a Yogi enters a state of Samadhi on a predetermined date and time and chooses to remain in that state forever, it is known as Jeevasamadhi. Guru Maniswami embodied the ultimate example of Jeevasamadhi, leaving behind a profound legacy of spiritual excellence. He predicted the time and occurrence of his own Samadhi well in advance. During his regular Sunday SATSANGAS (classes on good virtues), Guru Maniswami provided in-depth descriptions of the state and stages of samadhi and how to achieve it.
