As the years passed, the nectarean grace and compassionate love emanating from Sri Rajarajeswari began drawing larger and larger crowds, until Aiya’s home was no longer adequate to house all of them. In 1992, Aiya was asked to take over the regular worship of a beautiful granite vigraha of Sri Rajarajeswari. One morning in 1981, during his daily Navavarana Puja, Devi appeared and performed “purnabhishekam” to Aiya, giving him the spiritual name “Chaitanyananda Natha Saraswati.” Devi also indicated that Sakuntala Amma was to be called “Gnanamba.” As Aiya continued to perform the powerful Navavarana Puja, waves of devotees began flocking to his home, drawn by the magnetic devotion of his personal worship.

This is the only dakshina I want from you.” Ever the faithful disciple, Aiya has worked tirelessly without concern for his own personal comfort or convenience, all for the sake of fulfilling this sacred command from his guru. Can you kindly tell me what is the proper guru dakshina to give to you?” Guruji replied, “Whatever I have given to you, you must now give to others, without any thought of caste, creed, gender or ethnicity. So he asked, “Guruji, I am not from your place, I am from Sri Lanka. Sri Amritananda then taught Aiya the intricacies of performing Sri Chakra Navavarana Puja according to the Dattatreya tradition.Īfter the initiation, Aiya was in a bit of a bind, because he felt he was not familiar with Sri Amritananda’s particular customs regarding guru dakshina. Sri Amritananda came to Aiya’s house, and for the next eight hours, he performed an elaborate Sri Chakra Navavarana Puja and initiated Aiya and Sakuntala Amma with sixteen Sri Vidya mantras, including Maha Shodasakshari Mantra. On Friday, Oct 5, 1979, a full moon day, Haran Aiya and his wife were showered with the priceless grace of Sri Vidya mantra diksha. Under the guidance of Mataji and her senior disciple Srimati Selvanayaki Kalyanasundaram, Haran Aiya learned how to perform puja at the Sivananda Tapovanam in Tirukoneswaram. From Mataji he received the long-desired initiation into Sri Subrahmanya Shadakshara Mantra. ![]() Though he was just a small boy, Devi’s blessings were with him the moment the desire to worship the Mother took form in his innocent heart.Īfter having graduated from the famous Jaffna College, Haran Aiya’s intense longing for mantra diksha took him to the ashram of Srilasri Sivasatchidananda Mataji, a paramahamsa sannyasini who was the disciple of Srilasri Sivananda Saraswati. After hearing this story from his father at the tender age of 10, Haran Aiya formed the auspicious wish to revive this noble tradition of Devi worship in his family. Though Devi worship had been performed in his father’s family for more than six generations, this tradition was abruptly halted after the sudden and tragic demise of Haran Aiya’s paternal aunt in 1918. Haran Aiya was born the ninth and last child of Sri Chinnayya Pillai Navaratnam and Srimati Kamalambal.
