Raghavendra Swami of Malladihalli (Kannada: ಮಲ್ಲಾಡಿಹಳ್ಳಿ ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಘವೇಂದ್ರ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ) (1890–1996), popularly known as ತಿರುಕ Tiruka ("beggar"), was the founder of Anatha Sevashrama Trust, Malladihalli. He taught yoga from his base as Malladihalli near Holalkere in Chitradurga district, a village in Karnataka, India.
Raghavendra Swami, was born on 27 July 1890,[1] in a small village Barkur, in Karnataka. He was their only child. His parents named him Kumaraswamy. Later, urged by the head priest of Mantralaya Mutt, his name was changed to Raghavendra.[citation needed]
He has said that he met Palani Swami,[2] a yogi. He has claimed to have learned hatha yoga, asanas and pranayama from him.[3] He was adopted by Puthali Bai and Narasimhaiah on the advice of Bhirthi Ramachandra Shastry after the death of his mother. Anantha Padmanabha, leaving his son in the care of the foster parents went on a pilgrimage to Himalayas.[citation needed]
Kumaraswamy started his association with K. Shivaram Karanth, a budding artist, who later, acquired the skills of drama, and its intricate styles, at the Amba Prasaditha Nataka Company, in Tumkur. Shivaram Karanth took Raghavendra to Ranganatha Thamankar, who offered him a job as a clerk at his drama company. He was entrusted with the sales of tickets and disbursement of salaries and wages to the staff of the drama company. Later during this period, he left his job.[citation needed]
He has said he learnt from Paramahamsa Yogananda, Swami Shivananda Tirtha and the wrestler Rajaratna Manick Rao,[4]. Kumaraswamy learnt various martial arts under the guidance of Manekrao.
Jaggi Vasudev was an 11-year-old boy when he came in contact with Swamiji (who was then 78 years old) and learned hatha yoga from him.[2] Later on Jaggi Vasudev founded the Isha Foundation and came to be known as Sadhguru by his followers.
Social works
He claimed that he had treated more than 3 million people for various diseases with ayurvedic medicines, and yoga without any surgery. He built an Ayurvedic hospital at Malladihalli and Vishwa Yoga Mandira (World Yoga Trust) and various educational institutions, on a non-profit basis.[citation needed]
