His father, Sh. Rajagopalan, a devout Ganesh bhakta, was well-versed in Sanskrit scriptures and received guidance from revered masters such as Swami Sivananda, Swami Agnivesh, Swami Rama, Sai Baba, and the Shankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti. His Father had great command over 7 Languages including English, Sanskrit, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi, and Pestu. His paternal lineage traces back to Mullamuttil Tharavad, while his maternal lineage is connected to royal heritage.

🌌 A Spiritual Journey Beyond Time

Sri Adi Maitreya Rudrabhayananda Ji’s spiritual transformation began at the age of seven, marked by profound mystical experiences and early encounters with enlightened masters across traditions. From an early age, he was guided by eminent spiritual figures, including:

🕉️ Aghor MahaBaba Pinakadin Ji – Founder of the Aghor Panth
🕉️ Swami Chidananda – Spiritual Successor of Swami Sivananda
🕉️ Lama Dzsong Rinponche – Master of Tibetan Buddhist Teachings
🕉️ Matang Baba – Keeper of Ancient Mystical Knowledge

Recognizing his past-life wisdom and spiritual calling, these masters provided him with sacred initiations, unlocking deep reservoirs of knowledge from previous incarnations.

He was bestowed the name “Rudrabhayananda” by Aghor MahaBaba Pinakadin Ji, acknowledging his fearless embodiment of Rudra’s transformative energy. His final name, Sri Adi Maitreya Rudrabhayananda, was revealed through the Cosmic Transeunt Lineage (Naimisha Parampara) in 1996 by Eternal Mahababa Isāpöjågäv—a name destined to be spoken when the time for its revelation arrived.
