Skip to content origin of the history
The Manibhadra, the divine astrologer of the celestial realm, once descended to Earth from the Yaksha Loka. While traversing the skies, he was mesmerized by the beauty of a lush Palasa Forest (Moduga Vanam) near the city of Urjyamu. Enchanted, he rested for a while, placing a sacred manuscript (The Pradhana Grandham) beneath his head.
Urjyamu, the place where Manibhadra rested of that era now known as Piduguralla and Palasa Vanam is the site where the great Kaalachakra Mahayaga is happened. The Kaalachakra Kshetra refers to the Kanakaavati Kshetra created by Lord Shiva in the Yaksha world.
As Manibhadra prepared to return to the Yaksha realm (Lokam), the manuscript he had been carrying slipped from his possession and fell somewhere in the Srisailam Mountain range. Unaware of this loss, he proceeded to the Yaksha world, only to be denied entry. The reason given was that he had abandoned the sacred manuscript. In distress, Manibhadra and his fellow Yakshas prayed to Lord Shiva, who decreed that Manibhadra must remain on Earth as the guardian of the manuscript until another Yaksha arrived to take over its protection.
Thus, for hundreds of thousands of years, Manibhadra performed penance in a secluded house in the Srisailam hills while safeguarding the manuscript. Eventually, a second guardian named Subahu, another Yaksha, arrived to take over the responsibility, allowing Manibhadra to return to the Yaksha world.
This tradition of guardianship continued through generations, with Yakshas periodically arriving from their realm to protect the manuscript, performing rigorous penance in the Srisailam hills. To date, twenty-eight generations of guardians have passed. The present guardian, belonging to the twenty-ninth generation, is Sri Ramakrishna Yatindra.
Throughout history, numerous Siddhas (enlightened beings) have arrived on Earth to guard the manuscript in the Srisailam Mountain range. Once a new guardian arrived, the previous one would return to the Yaksha world. This cycle of guardianship continues to this day. The manuscript itself states that by the thirty-fifth generation, a highly enlightened Siddha will emerge, gaining worldwide recognition and revealing the knowledge of astrology and sacred sites to the entire world. The text also predicts that this tradition will continue until the fortieth generation.
The Transmission of Astrological Knowledge
This sacred tradition follows a clear lineage: the divine Devas transmitted astrological wisdom to Siddhas, who then passed it on to Rishis. Among them, only Sri Ramakrishna Yatindra possesses the unique ability to interpret astrological knowledge using Yaksha astrology, making this knowledge accessible to humanity.
Most of the manuscript’s protectors have been Ayoni-born (supernatural beings), descending directly to Earth. However, four of them were human-born. The twenty-fifth to twenty-seventh generations consisted of protectors who initially arrived from the Yaksha world but attained enlightenment on Earth and continued their duty of safeguarding the manuscript.
A Divine Revelation
During the twenty-eighth generation, a highly revered Yatindra, born supernaturally, arrived from the Yaksha world to protect the manuscript. He later encountered Sri Ramakrishna Swami during his penance in the Srisailam Forest at the age of 16-17. By then, the revered Yatindra’s body had become frail due to extreme asceticism, resembling mere bones.
In a spiritual conversation, the enlightened Yatindra revealed his sacred duty to Ramakrishna Swami and entrusted him with over 108 ancient palm-leaf astrological manuscripts through yogic powers. He instructed him to use this knowledge to guide humanity through astrology.
However, when Ramakrishna Swami attempted to touch the primary manuscript (the one lost by Manibhadra), he was forbidden, as he had yet to attain the necessary qualifications. The enlightened Yatindra explained that the manuscript was destined to be unlocked only by the twenty-ninth guardian and instructed Sri Ramakrishna Swami to complete the 64 great charitable deeds before the establishment of the Kaalachakra Yagam. He was also advised to wait patiently for the Mahakaalachakra yagam to attain the eligibility to access the manuscript. Until then, the Grandham was to remain unseen and protected by a sacred clay shield.
