About Kodi Swamigal
Sri Sri Sri Ponmudi Kodi Swamigal – neither his beginnings nor roots are known. Standing on one leg in intense penance on the shores of Dhanushkodi, he spent years gazing at the sun. He left Dhanushkodi in circa 1957.

The fisherfolk of Dhanushkodi, while visiting the sea for their fishing duties, saw Kodi Swamigal in intense penance. They considered seeing him a lucky charm. However, they did not realise that this was the gift of a lifetime, witnessing a miracle that went undocumented in any form. This memory remains in the hearts of the individuals who had encounters with the enlightened being.

Dhanushkodi circa 1940 -1950

After his intense penance on the shores of Dhanushkodi, Swamigal and Shri, N. Varadarajulu left for the latter’s house during the early ’50s.

Trichy, Chennai, Madurai & Coimbatore – 1950 – 1962

From Dhanushkodi, the Swamigal seems to have come to Trichy and stayed at Kallukuzhi Anjaneyar temple. He sometimes left Trichy for impromptu visits to Chennai, Madurai & Neikarapatty Zamin in Coimbatore.

Puravipalayam – 1963- 1994

The wandering mystic finally halted at the palace of Puravipalayam. He chose the palace’s terrace and stayed there till he shed his physical body.

Age is just a number!

It isn’t easy to trace his period of origin to a particular historical time. There is a lot of speculation about the age of Kodi Swamigal. Renowned astrologers who tried to find his age using the lines on the palm of his hand were bewildered when it showed his age as just seven.

In 1986, senior medical experts from England and Spain visited Puravipalayam. They tried to find his age by testing his DNA, but The experts could achieve nothing concrete. He was a manifestation of someone beyond age and the limits of the universe. His gross body(sthula sharira) appeared like the body of a 90-year-old to his devotees.

The Silent Saint

Kodi thatha uttered very few words and always spoke in sukshama(cryptic). However, listeners who understood the meaning of the words found them as valuable as diamonds.

A siddha’s state of mind is highly contagious. A person in their presence experiences glimpses of eternal peace and calm that the Siddha has permanently attained through sadhana and tapas.

The ordinary human mind finds it difficult to understand the divine and prophetic language spoken by a Siddha Purusha. Only when certain events come to pass, do we realise the connection to the words spoken earlier.

Kodi thatha decried puffery and kept off from all kinds of ballyhoo. He was hardly known to a handful of people while living in a human form. He detested crowds and constantly tested the sincerity of devotees before lending a helping hand.

Kodi Thatha for all

Kodi thatha never allowed himself to be within a specific circle of religion, caste or class. He was an affectionate and caring thatha to everyone. All seekers were equal to him, whether from the palace or the streets. He saw everyone and showered his grace equally on people from all walks of life.

Affectionately called “Kodi thatha”, he was revered and respected by his devotees. He used to quote instances from various periods randomly. For example, he once spoke about events that happened in the streets of Chicago when Swami Vivekananda gave his speech.
