Biography

Popular Telugu actor Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao portrayed the role of Sri Veerabrahmam in his film "Sri Madvirat Potuluri Virabrahmendra Charitra".

Very little is known about Sri Veera-Brahmam’s childhood except that he was born in Vishwabrahmin caste for Sri Paripurnachari and Smt Prakruthamba and that he grew up under the care of foster parents. Sri Veera Bhojacharya head of the Papaghni math near Nandikonda(Chikkabalapura District appro. 45 km from Bangalore City) and his wife Smt. Veera-Papamba. Lovingly called “Veeram Bhotlayya” he used to impress everyone by his extraordinary intelligence and spiritual bent of mind. When in his thirteenth year, his foster father, died he not only bore the blow calmly but proved a pillar of strength to his desolate mother.

He wrote 'Kalagnana', collections of prophecies on palm leaves. Most of his predictions came true and many are yet to happen. Also known as Indian Nostradamous by west, he said he will come again to this earth as 'Veera Bhoga Vasantharaya' and that would mean the end of life on earth. He prophesized that before his arrival the world would be in a very chaotic condition.

Sri Veerabrahmam taught to his disciples about Shat Chakra and Kundalini yoga. He asked his disciples to chant 'Aum Hreem Kleem Sreem Sivaya Sree Veerabrahmane namaha'. He also said anyone who chant this mantra for 12,000 times will get his Darshan. Sri Veerabrahmam left his body with his self imposed 'jeeva Samadhi'. He went into Samādhi when he was still alive and asked to close the stone above.
