Our Divine Legacy
Guru Nataraja Yagava is a revered Siddhar and timeless spiritual master, a direct disciple of Thirumoolar. Transcending the physical realm in his astral body, he has guided seekers for over 3,000 years through profound spiritual teachings.
Under Madhuyaagavar's leadership, chosen at age 14 by Guru Nataraja Yagava, Aathmanathavanam continues this sacred lineage, offering transformative teachings that integrate spiritual wisdom with holistic well-being.
