Lord Subhananda born on 28th April 1882 in Kulayikkal, Budhanoor village, Pathanamthitta District, Kerala to the devout Sambava couples Ittyathi and Kochu Neeli. Father was an astrologer and mother was pious woman. The couple was endlessly visiting the holy temples and performed several Pooja and Bhajans for a child. After the long twenty four years of marriage, the fortunate Kochu Neeli gave birth to a blessed child at the age of forty and blissfully named him as Paappan. In small age itself, the “child” started giving spiritual discourses and did wonders. The bewildered parents thought some invisible power had entered their son and took the child to temples and renowned astrologers to seek the remedy. However, the priest in the temple devotionally said “you gave birth to the protector of mankind, a marvelous gift for this Kali Yug; who will be worshipped by millions”. At the age of seven, from the 16th November 1889 Friday evening, the child has a heavenly light and its rays are omnipotent and its strength bespeaks of Kalki. This experience had lasted for three days continuously and returned to normal life on the fourth day of his eternal sight of Para-Brahma. He discovered that in the inner self of every individual, sparks of this heavenly light is burning and its existence can be realized only with the help of Jagath-Guru. Following mother's death in 1894, Gurudev went on to pilgrimages inquest of studying the super spirit that immersed Him for three continuous days.

He declared there is only one Supreme Spirit and that is the creator, protector and savior of all mankind.
He declared that Lord Himself has taken birth in a Sambava caste in order to eradicate the injustice prevailed. He declared "all are one, one in Athma, one in harmony, you are not alien, if you feel alien that is the ignorance in you, because all are My creation and I am not different any" The life of Subhananda Gurudev spanned a period of 69 fruitful years from 1882()April 28 th) to 1950 (July 29th).

Sree Anandaji Gurudevan
The Second Madathipathi of Sree Subhanandashram.
Anandaji Gurudevan born on 17th July 1924 in Cherukole village on the uthradam nakshathra (20th of the 28 stars in Indian astrology). Ammini and Krishan are the parents who lost their first two children during the early infancy due to serious mysterious illness. The parents were seriously concerned about their new born and were terrified by their sad experiences with their previous children. They expected the unwanted may happen to the new born as well that happened when the child was three years old. The child fell very ill as like the other late siblings and the terrified parents took him to all the hospitals and spiritual places to get their son alive, nowhere they could get any desired relief. The worried parents decided to approach Subhanand Gurudev as a last resort. They explained their grief to Bhagvan and pleaded for rescuing their child. Gurudev kept silence for a movement and whispered “this child born with a short life, I will give him a new life and might if you can offer him to serve me”. The parents were relived and gleefully accepted to do so. In a Sunday prayer meeting Bhagvan carried the child up in His arms and proclaimed “I receive this child to serve the world. I will carryon my mission to save the humanity and I will come back after twelve years in this child”. Bhagvan blessed him and asked the parents to take him home and breed well. In 1936, Bhagvan Subhanand Gurudev recalled the child and ordained him the sanyasa (priesthood) and gave the sanyasa namam (priesthood name) “Anandaji”.
Accordingly Bhagvan Subhanand Gurudev’ s supreme power appeared in Brahma Sri Anandaji and became the Madadhipathi (Ashram supreme) on 04th November 1962. Bhagvan mercifully revealed thousands numerous hymns (Nama sangeerthan) and divine truth to the disciples during the prayers. Subhanand Ashram had no proper place to worship and social services during this period and with the untiring and dedicated supports from obedient disciples, Bhagvan liberated millions of families around the nation. There are numerous Subhanand Ashrams around the country and partially abroad. In 1988, during the 106th Pooram Mahothsav, Gurudev declared that you can hear me through my “Guruprasad” after my samathi (departing the material body). Within few weeks after this, Gurudev departed the idol (humanly body) on 17th May 1988.

Later he was brought up his elder sister “Paappi Amma” and did schooling up t fourth standard. He was not a believer in God in his young age. During 1928, Subhananda Gurudev was on run as He had born in a so called lower caste. At that time Bhagvan Subhananda Gurudev came to the neighborhood of Velu and Gurudev built an Ashram in “Kallumel” with the full assistance from Velu. In an atmosphere when Subhananda Gurudev was terrified by the upper class ignorant as he was a paraya (untouchable caste) and His followers were subject to insults, Velu attended a prayer meeting and decided to Subhananda Gurudev. When he gave dhakshina and sought blessings, he saw the everlasting smiling Kalki and felt as reborn in a different planet. He witnessed several extra-ordinary experiences following this and decided to dedicate his life to serve Gurudev and his mission to liberate the suffering suppressed community. At the age of 37 (1944) when Gurudev started a weaving center for the poor, Velu did all possible hard work to serve Gurudev’s cause better. On 16th November 1947, Gurudev ordained him the sanyasa (priesthood) and gave the sanyasa namam (priesthood name) “Guruprasad”.
