Sri Madvirat Pothuluri Veerabrahmendra Swamy Biography
SWAMI SRI VEERABRAHMENDRA
A Monograph on Pothuluru Veerabrahmendra Swamy
“Avanilogala beeda - dhanavantu lokkatiga
Ayye yogamu kuda Vacchenima”
“The most auspicious day when there would be no distinc¬tion between the rich and the poor is also approaching.”
Thus the concept of Socialism and Marxism are also envisaged by the great predictor, Swami Veerabrahmendra
The dignity of mannual labour was one of the impor¬tant aspects of his life message. In fact, the Vedic earn¬ing was better respected than all other manual skills. The plastic arts were thrown into oblivion by scholasticism in Holy scriptures. Unless knowledgeable people honour the manual skills and plastic arts as professional arts, they may go into further oblivion and life may become impossible too. The reasons for Tiruvalluwar becoming a weaver as tradition believed it and Veerabrahmam becoming a sculptor and smith could easily be attributed to the fact that they recognised those manual skills and arts and upheld them with all dignity of labour.
The Swami’s married life was a message to all house¬holders. He proved that family life was by no means inimical or inconsistent with spiritual practices. Unlike Vemana he led a quiet and pious family life, right from the beginning and emerged as a true Rajayogi and a secular saint. His life was purposeful and significant from many points of view.
His message is enternal and universal. His idealism and humanism sought not only equality of ail human being but also upheld the status of woman on par with that of man.
He taught the common man in simple spoken, effective and sweet Telugu the great message of Upanishads and Vedas, in undisputed terms.
He was a path-breaker who pleaded for common brotherhood and equality of human beings.
It is enough if one believes that there lived a Great Soul in human flesh and blood namely – Sri Veerabrahmendra Swami who dedicated his life for the progress and welfare of mankind. A sincere study of the Swami’s biography in its true colours is but witnessing a human document produced by the Great Soul.
