About Gnanananda Giri
Swami Sri Gnanananda Giri (Nia-na-nan-da) is believed to be born in the early 19th century. He is the 6th peetathipathi (Leader) of Jyothir Mata. He is the Chief Disciple of Sri Sivaratna Giri... They are from the 'Giri' Parambarai (Generation)[citation needed] As a young child, Gnanananda lived the life of an ascetic. Gnanananda is a Mahayogi, Siddha Purusha, Himalayan sage and Indian philosopher. He believed in Advaita Vedanta because he was lineage of Peetam. At one point of time, he gave sanyasa to Swami Haridhos Giri, who was with him for many years of Adi Shankara. He traveled around the world to spread the teaching of Advaita Vedanta.
Sanyasa
Sivaratna Giri accepted Subramanyam as his disciple and named him Pragnana Brahmachari. Gnanananda followed his guru, Sivaratna Giri, like a shadow and showed great love in serving him. When Gnanananda was thirty-nine years old, Sivaratna Giri indicated his intention to "leave his mortal frame" to his disciples.
Sivaratna Giri initiated Gnanananda in the traditional manner into the Giri order of Jyotir Mutt and gave him the monastic name of Sri Gnanananda Giri. Sivaratna Giri died at age eighty-one on the full moon day in the month of Chitra. The anniversary of this event is still observed with respect in every ashrams of Sri Swami Gnanananda Giri.
