Foreword

This publication of the World Teacher Trust is intended to inform about


the incarnation of the Cosmic Teaching Principle as it exists in Sirius and
its incarnation upon Earth from time to time, to give impulse to wisdom
teachings upon Earth.
The Earth has a Hierarchy of Teachers, popularly known as the White
Brotherhood, whose abodes are in all important mountain ranges on Earth,
with their main centers in the Himalayas. This Hierarchy is guided by
Sirius, where the Great Grand White Brotherhood exists headed by the
Cosmic Teaching Principle. This Cosmic Teaching Principle is known as Lord
Dattatreya in the ancient Indian scriptures. He is always surrounded by
dogs representing the Dog Star, also known as Cerberus and Sarama. The
dogs are representatives of their watchfulness. The evolution of beings on
this planet is however overviewed by the Cosmic Teaching Principle resid-
ing in Sirius. Sirius, being south to our system, has the teaching principle
essentially of Love-Wisdom. Love is the fundamental principle upon which
Wisdom is taught by every true teacher.
The head of the Hierarchy of Teachers upon Earth is called the World
Teacher and the teacher who presides over the World Teacher, stationed in
Sirius, is called the Teacher to the World Teacher or the Cosmic Teacher.
The World Teacher is known as Lord Maitreya while the Cosmic Teacher is
known as Lord Dattatreya.
Lord Dattatreya happened to manifest in the 14th century as Srīpāda
Srīvallabha in Pīthikapuram, East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh,
South India. He lived for 30 years in the body, conducted extraordinary
acts, and taught in the simplest way the Synthesis of Wisdom. He pro-
claimed himself that He would be reborn two more times, one time as
Narasimha Saraswati and another time as Swami Samarth. Through these
three incarnations, He fairly established a way of life where Synthesis of
Wisdom is followed in daily life. He simplified many an orthodox prac-
tice. He laid a simple path to the truth, devoid of technicalities and spe-
cialties, which enabled common men and women to follow the Path of
Light.

His inspiration spreads itself far and wide in the South and North.
There were many teachers and masters that received His touch and trans-
mitted such touch to His followers. Consequently, many Indian devotees
started believing that all those subsequent teachers are also incarnations
of Dattatreya. This is but a hyperbole with little truth in it.
This book contains some illustrations of reincarnations of Dattatreya
such as Shirdi Sai Baba, Manikya Prabhu, Jesus the Christ and so on,
which may be gently judged as the flamboyance of the over-enthusiastic
devotion. Similarly, there is also mention of the visit of Srīpāda Srīvalla-
bha to Shambhala, to the Pole Star and similar excursions which are left
to the discretion of the reader.
The book is brought out as a true translation by the World Teacher
Trust, primarily to communicate the existence of the Grand Cosmic
Teaching Principle and its advent on Earth in Kali Yuga. The readers may
approach the whole subject and accept whatever is acceptable to their
conscience.
May this attempt serve its own purpose. The effort is a humble sub-
mission to the seekers of Truth without any claims or assertions.
As the great initiate Helena P. Blavatsky said, let “Gently to read and
kindly to judge” be the approach.

The Author and the Book 9

The Author and the Book

The biography of Srīpāda Srīvallabha (1320 – 1350) was written by a con-


temporary, Shankar Bhatt. While introducing the topic of the book — the
events around the first incarnation of Lord Dattatreya in Kali Yuga, the
present Dark Age — he presents himself as coming from Karnataka, a
state in the south-western region of India. He calls himself an ignorant
and illiterate person and humbly submits the entire work as an expression
of Srīpāda’s divine will and blessing. Nevertheless, he is the author of a
stupendous multi-faceted work of profound spirituality, well designed and
written. Throughout the book, he maintains the stance of a reporter who
endeavours to objectively describe what he witnesses and hears. He tries
not to judge but to record events and encounters. He notes down his own
experiences as well as the descriptions and teachings he hears from oth-
ers. He is not writing from the perspective of an uninvolved observer but
rather allows us to participate in his inner processes — his questions and
doubts, his crises and tribulations, his awe and astonishment.
He was already on a pilgrimage before he begins writing of the book.
From his remarks, we can infer that he had already walked at least 1000
kilometres following a hint from Srī Krishna to see the deity of Srī Kanyaka
Parameswari in a temple at the southernmost point of India. Shankar
Bhatt receives the call from her to visit her brother Srīpāda Srīvallabha in
Kuruvapuram. The place is located on an island in the Krishna River, at a
distance of about 1200 kilometres. Shankar Bhatt has never heard of
Srīpāda before, but without any doubt, he immediately starts his epic
journey totalling several thousand kilometres. It is the year 1336 — Srīpāda
has just disappeared from His birthplace in Pīthikapuram and is at that
time on a tour to Kashi (Benares) and the Himalayas by “yogic travelling”.
Shankar Bhatt is travelling by foot, sometimes by bullock carts or
horse chariots — without luggage and money, not knowing how to reach
the goal. He is living on alms and hospitality. He is sleeping at the places
he comes along, experiencing hunger and life-threatening situations. He
is walking alone or with co-travellers. He meets saints, frauds and rob-
bers, farmers and merchants, kings, housewives and prostitutes. He en-
10 Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam

counters orthodox arrogance, sectarianism, lies, disputes and even com-


plots against Srīpāda, which the latter dissolves in surprising ways.
Shankar Bhatt is a Brahmin, but his experiences teach him to over-
come the barriers of caste and creed and feel the unity of all who are
striving towards the divine. He undergoes deep transformations and is
carried forward on his initiatory journey by a fiery aspiration which is
strengthened by his encounters with sublime siddhas and yogis. He inter-
rogates them about profound spiritual topics and above all about their
experiences with the divine, with Srīpāda Srīvallabha. Often, they knew
beforehand through messages of Srīpāda or clairvoyant perceptions that
Shankar Bhatt would be coming, and they willingly share with him fantas-
tic stories about Srīpāda’s effulgent presence and his miraculous playful
pastimes. He gets insights into previous incarnations of people reaching
far back in time. And he learns about Srīpāda’s announcements of His
own future incarnations as Narasimha Saraswati (1378 - 1459) and Swamī
Samartha (? - 1878). There are also many hints to future events some of
which by now already belong to the past.
The book is full of unimaginable events, revelations and wonders, like
cases of souls simultaneously incarnating in different bodies or numerous
cases of bringing deceased persons back to life.
But the indisputable highlight is Shankar Bhatt’s personal encounter
with Srīpāda, the goal of his search. The story does not end there. Shankar
Bhatt continues his journey to other places Srīpāda sends him. Shankar
Bhatt meets His family and friends and collects more astounding stories.
He finally comes to live with Srīpāda at Kuruvapuram. There, he looks
after the numerous devotees coming to His wisdom teachings; he takes care
of cooking and cleaning. When the food is not enough for all the visitors,
Srīpāda sprinkles some water on it and it becomes inexhaustible. He is a
first-hand witness of how Srīpāda consults, consoles and heals full of love
and affection. He works on the biography with a tremendous memory about
names and details of events. He writes the Charitāmrutam1 on Bhūrja
Patra, bark leaves of the Indian birch tree. And he writes it in Sanskrit.
The book has a strange history: after the disappearance of Srīpāda,
Shankar Bhatt continues to live in Kuruvapuram for three more years

The Author and the Book 11

completing the text — and Srīpāda appears to him every night at mid-
night. After finishing the Charitāmrutam, he reads it with five persons.
He knows from Srīpāda that it won’t be published immediately: after a
Telugu version is created, his Sanskrit version will vanish and will be
transported to a subterranean location under the birthplace of Srīpāda.
The Telugu version will come to light in the 33rd generation of the family
of Srīpāda’s maternal grandfather after a certain sign for this is given.
Then the book will be published and it will be translated into many lan-
guages, including German. Srīpāda’s name will start spreading all over
the world and millions of people will be attracted to His Samsthan, the
temple at the birthplace of Srīpāda.
The sign for the reappearance of the book was given in 1999 to Malladi
Govinda Deekshitulu, a member of the 33rd generation of the family of
Srīpāda’s maternal grandfather. He copied the Telugu text from the old
manuscript. Then he immersed the old copy in the Krishna River at
Vijayawada as prophesied and brought a copy to the Samsthan for the pub-
lication of the book. You find the details in Mr. Deekshitulu’s description at
the end of this book and also the words of Srī Sajjanagada Ramaswamy, the
late spiritual leader of the Maha Samsthanam, giving more information.
The book is partly not easy to read. You will encounter numerous names
of persons and deities, unfamiliar concepts and expressions. To help the
reader, the present edition is enriched with many footnote explanations
and a commented register of persons. The best, however, is to read the
book with an open mind and heart, not trying to understand everything.
We would like to express our gratitude to the following persons and in-
stitutions: to the late Mr. Malladi Govinda Deekshitulu for bringing the
Srīpāda Srīvallabha Charitāmrutam to light; to Mrs. Lakshmi Nagasethu,
who brought the book to our attention and established the contact with
the Samsthan; to Srī Sajjanagada Ramaswamy and the President of the
Maha Samsthanam, Pithapuram, for giving the translation and publishing
rights; the translator of their English first publication, Mr. Perepa Sree-
ramamurthy, who also gave some help; to the President of the Srī Datta
Vishwarupa Samhiti, Tadepalligudem, and Mr. Valavala Suryanarayana for
giving the translation and publishing rights regarding their English publica-
tion done by Dr. J. Satyaprasad, who gave us his corrected version; to Mr.
Keerthi Vallabha for sharing with us his ongoing English translation and Mr.
12 Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam

Srinivas Oruganti for helping in this. The present edition was developed
during the German translation; the revised text is mainly based on the first
English publication of the Maha Samsthanam complemented by the other
two translations. We received great help from Mr. Raveendra Nath Yasarapu
by giving explanations of unknown terms and concepts; in this, Wikipedia
and the German YogaWiki were also very useful. Dr. K. Parvathi Kumar, the
Global Chairman of the World Teacher Trust, wholeheartedly supported the
publication.
The presence and guidance of Srīpāda Srīvallabha was clearly felt by
all who worked on this translation; it is His work finding expression in this
way. To Him belongs our deepest gratitude. May He continue to direct the
book to the hearts of the readers.

Chapter 1

The Encounter between


Shankar Bhatt and Vyāghreswara Sarma

My salutations to Srī Maha Ganadhipati, Srī Maha Saraswati, lineage of my


preceptors, Srī Krishna Bhagavan and all gods and goddesses. I propose to
describe the glory of Srīpāda Srīvallabha ― the latest manifestation of
Lord Datta; He is the Lord of innumerable universes.
Srī Dattatreya is the oldest and the eternal one. Srī Dattatreya has in-
carnated in this Kali Yuga1 as Srīpāda Srīvallabha in the city of Pithapuram,
which is situated in the Godavari2 region of Andhra Pradesh. It is impossible
even for the great scholars to describe the grandeur of His divine play. I am
completely ignorant and illiterate. Therefore, I submit in all humility that
my attempt to portray His life history is only on account of His will, divine
order and His divine blessings.
My name is Shankar Bhatt. I belong to Karnataka Desa3. I am from the
Smartha4 sect and hail from Bharadwaja gotra5. I went to the holy town of
Udipi6 on pilgrimage to visit Bhagavan Srī Krishna in His temple. There the
infant Krishna, with a beautifully coloured peacock feather adorning His
head, gave me His dārshan7. He ordered me to visit Goddess Srī Kanyaka
Parameswari in Kanya Kumari8. I took holy bath in the confluence of the
three oceans there. One Tuesday, I entered the temple to see the goddess.
The priest was performing the worship of the deity very sincerely. He took
the red coloured flowers from my hand and began to worship Her. At that
time, the Mother saw me with Her benevolent looks and said, “Shankarā, I
