Aruṇagiri Yogishwara (A.Y) is Paramasiva Himself who graced the physical plane a few thousand years ago in human form. He retained His human form for a few hundred years and taught the science of Enlightenment to His chosen disciples. He is worshipped as Arunācaleśvara, the presiding deity of the Arunācaleśvara Temple. His jeeva samadhi (final resting place) lies inside the Arunācaleśvara Temple in Tiruvannamalai, South India, the birthplace of The Avatar.
Arunagiri Yogishwara assumed the form of a young ascetic and befriended The young Avatar when He was around 10 years of age for a period of nine months (approximately from April 1988 to January 1989), creating the sweetest Guru-Disciple relationship in the annals of History for humanity to cherish and imbibe.
