He is Siddha Vidya tradition's main Guru 'Adi guru'. His prior name was Raman Nambiar. Born in a vegetarian Kshatriya family in sacred city Vatakara or Badagara, Kojikod Dist, Kerala. Since childhood he was a very straight forward kid, so he took up a job as a policeman as he grew up. After he got married his wife wrote him a letter requesting him to take leave from work and come home. Once he came she washed his feet, took him inside had him sit on a seat. She then laid her head in his lap and left her mortal coil.
This unimaginable event shocked and surprised Sri Raman Nambiar. "where did the one that asked me to come home go now? 'I am going to find out' with this intent and in total dispassion he left his job and home. When he was doing 'giri pradakshina' walking around the mountain of Subrahmanya temple in Palani, as he was going to take bath in river 'vartiar' two Siddha yogis did the upadesha of Siddha Vidya in his ear and disappeared. That is why the guru parampara of Sri Shivananda Paramahamsar started from him only. But he himself in his previous avatar was Sri Jyoti Ramalinga Swamy ( Vallalar ) of Vadalur, Shri Bhogar Mahashaya of Palani, Shri Konkana Maharshi of Tirupati, Shri Kakabhushunda Maharshi, Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya, Shri Jesus Christ and Shri Mahammad.
Nara and Narayana are the two Siddha Purushas that came and initiated him into Siddha Vidya. He immediately went into samadhi, his body was covered with anthills and plant vines. He was found by a British forest officer Kalam as 'Apara Valmiki'. He was cutting down the forest when he found Shri Shivananda Paramahamsar in samadhi, with his eyes rolled up, only the whites of the eyes are seen.
He brought some herbs rubbed on Sri Shivananda Paramahamsar's head and served him, that brought his eyeballs down. For the welfare of this world he woke up from samadhi and initiated Shri Kalam into Siddha Vidya. It was a blessing that Sri Kalam could serve Shri Shivananda Paramahamsar to bring him out of samadhi, else he would have been burnt for disturbing a siddha purusha's penance (tapa).
Later Shri Shivananda Paramahamsar travelled entire Bharat and also to Singapur, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia etc, initiated around 6 lakhs people into Siddha Vidya. He established Siddha Samaj at Vatakara or Badagara as main center and Kayanna, Iyyuru, Mannurkara, Ammampalayam (Tamilnadu) as branches.
Shri Swamy Shivananda Paramahamsar is an avatar who realized that the same 'jiva shakti' is in human, animals, birds in the form of air equally. Birds and animals have more 'jnana' than human beings because their respirations are single directional 'eka gati'. Even in human beings prana is in 'ekagati' in sleep. He proved that respirations move in single direction in the spinal cord 'shushumna' with Siddha Vidya. His experiences are recorded in the book "Siddha Vedam", Moksha Soothram.
He taught that these many religions are not there in the world, there is only one religion that is Ishwara Matham. Service to this Ishwara is to supress the life force that is in the form of air internally upward and downward. This air when it is moving, is called karma, maya, sin, sharira, creating this world. Once this air is stilled with Siddha Yogam that is Karma Yogam, merit 'punyam', 'sukrutam', knowledge 'jnana' and 'rasamani'.
