Paripoornananda saraswati swami biography

The Telugu states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh were home to a number of influential spiritual and religious figures in the past. And topping the list is late Satya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi. Even today, a number of ashrams and babas are galore in various corners of these two states giving blessings to politicians, industrialists and commoners.

However, none of these leaders with cult following could make a cut in active politics. Ahead of the state elections in Telangana , for the first time in the state, a powerful saffron guru has been brought to the fore. Paripoornananda is the most vocal among his ilk when it comes to Hindu religion or on the topics of nationalism. This has also forced him to wade into controversies.

Recently, he was externed by the Telangana police for his provocative statements on a sensitive issue. Paripoornananda is known to be vocal, sharp and fearless, which has won him a number of followers.

Around 44 years of age, Paripoornananda can be loosely interpreted as a mix of Yogi Adityanath and Baba Ramdev. If he has the political acumen of the former, then he also possesses the business sense of the latter. This explains why the BJP bosses had been toying with the idea of launching the Swami for some time now. Born in Kerala, Paripoornananda spent his childhood in Nellore and other towns in Andhra Pradesh with his parents.
