Shwaasa – The Source of Life
In the breathtaking and treacherous landscape of the mighty Himalayas, a young monk wandered in search of the ultimate truth. Through intense penance and meditation that put mind over a matter, not only did he uncover the truth but also realized the very purpose of his life! It all began about four decades ago in a small village named Tanvashi from Karnataka State in Southern India. In a pious and traditional family of farmers, a married couple named, Dundappa and Shivakka, longed for a male successor of their family. Hence, they sought the blessings of a Mystical Ascetic, Sri MarulaShankara Shivayogi of Gachchina Mutt Monastery. He sanctified them and prophesized that Shivakka will give birth to a male-child who will upkeep every promise he makes and spread wellness in this world. Very soon, Shivakka gave birth to a male-child. Owing to the ancestral oath of Dundappa’s family, this required the offering of one male-child every generation into the fold of Sanyasa. Shivakka, during her subsequent pregnancy, took a pledge called Garbhadeeksha to make her next-born male-child a Sanyasi. She was initiated with a Sri Marula Shankara Shiva Yogi’s Mahamantra, which she avidly chanted during the entire course of her pregnancy. Hence, was born Vachananand, the up-keeper of promises and disseminator of wellness in the world.
