Sreemath Sreedhara Swamikal was born on May 27, 1941, in Chirakadavu, Kottayam Kerala, India. His father, P.G. Sivasankaran Nair was a well-known physician and mother Chettedathil ParvathyAmma. Swamikal left school learning at 10 th standard longing for spritual fulfillment. On December 11, 1956 became the disciple of Sri Guru Maharaj Mahasayan in Hrishikesh. He spent over 16 years there until Guru Mahasayan’s Samadhi. During this period, he realized himself with his Guru’s strenuous lessons and infinite grace. Swamikal came back in 1975 and started his mission of leading souls to the path of self-realization. He first built a Sree Krishna Temple in 1983 next to his house and later spread his activities to the other parts of the state. Even though in the eyes of public, he seems to be like a normal man, Swamikal is believed to be the incarnation of lord Subramanian.

Swamikal is the personification of God. He is very simple and mingles with common people talking to them in whatever topic they are interested with utmost enthusiasm. His main activities include conducting discourses and classes on spiritual topics. By this, Swamikal tries to enlighten the common man about the importance and ultimate goal of human life. The way in which he delivers his discourses is outstanding. Swamikal makes everyone involved in the discourse with his humorous and informative examples. He can talk on any topic extempore for long periods of time no matter whether it is Hindu Vedas or Puranas or Upanishads or even mundane things. He conducted a 41 day long discourse in June 2000, at Vivekanandapuram, Kanyakumari on Mahabhagavatham where hundreds of devotees participated. Sri Sankaracharya from Puri came over for the discourse for a day. Swamikal has been working in Sreedhara Swamy Sannidhanam, Parvathipuram, Nagercoil, Tamilnadu since 1980, which always echoes with “Om Namo Narayana”. Swamikal has thousands of disciples whom he hopes will carry on his mission.
