He was born in a pious family at Thirubhuvanam, and studied well and quickly grasped the divine subjects. At his teenage, he left his family and came to Kumbakonam and performed meditation on Lord Shiva.
After some time, through the help of his devotees, he constructed a small ashram for himself, and spent his time by performing puja to the Shiva lingam and sitting down in a Samadhi state for long hours. He used to have only little quantity of food, and sometimes performed meditation for several days even without having food. He was praised by Kanchi Swami Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswati Swamigal, and he considered him as a great siddha purusha. Even though he remained silent in his life, he used to murmur the slokas of Lord Shiva and blesses his devotees with a smiling face.
