A Timeless Phenomenon
Kodi Swamigal’s presence is marked by silence; though cryptic, every word carries significance. His utterances carry echoes of wisdom, often mysterious and paradoxical. The narrative uses wordplay and metaphor to convey richness.

The divine who defied directives
Kodi Swamigal’s mischievous spirit defied the rigidity that one usually associated with spiritual pursuits.
The Siddha Purusha had mastery of the five elements that made up this physical body, making it possible for him to stand for hours at a stretch in the burning sands of Dhanushkodi.
Kodi Swamigal—With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he defied the very directives that sought to define him within the conventional bounds of a Siddha Purusha.
Kodi Swamigal’s appearance, for starters, was a spectacle that bewildered those accustomed to the traditional garb of a sage. While most Siddhas adorned themselves with simple ascetic robes, Kodi Swamigal’s attire resembled a kaleidoscope of colours reminiscent of a vibrant peacock’s plumage. His saffron robes were decorated with hues of red, blue, and green, creating an ensemble that defied the muted tones expected of a sage.
Age is just a number!
It isn't easy to trace his period of origin to a particular historical time. There is a lot of speculation about the age of Kodi Swamigal. Renowned astrologers who tried to find his age using the lines on the palm of his hand were bewildered when it showed his age as just seven.

In 1986, senior medical experts from England and Spain visited Puravipalayam. They tried to find his age by testing his DNA, but The experts could achieve nothing concrete. He was a manifestation of someone beyond age and the limits of the universe. His gross body(sthula sharira) appeared like the body of a 90-year-old to his devotees.
He wandered in garlands and coats,
spoke the language of the divine in whispered notes.
The Silent Saint
Kodi thatha uttered very few words and always spoke in sukshama(cryptic). However, listeners who understood the meaning of the words found them as valuable as diamonds.

A siddha's state of mind is highly contagious. A person in their presence experiences glimpses of eternal peace and calm that the Siddha has permanently attained through sadhana and tapas.
The ordinary human mind finds it difficult to understand the divine and prophetic language spoken by a Siddha Purusha. Only when certain events come to pass, do we realise the connection to the words spoken earlier.

Kodi thatha decried puffery and kept off from all kinds of ballyhoo. He was hardly known to a handful of people while living in a human form. He detested crowds and constantly tested the sincerity of devotees before lending a helping hand.
Siddha purusha beyond imagination
Kodi Swamigal never exhibited or wanted to be identified with any siddhis, though he possessed all the powers from the world of siddhis. His mastery over siddhis, which had hitherto only been mentioned in ancient scriptures, was an unbelievable experience for those who visited him.

Kodi Swamigal’s attire resembled a kaleidoscope of colours, reminiscent of a vibrant peacock’s plumage. His saffron robes were adorned with hues of red, blue, and green, creating an ensemble that defied the muted tones expected of a sage. when Swami Vivekananda gave his speech.

Beyond the Physical
On various instances he exhibited extreme physical conditions. His pulse was checked, and it was like a child’s pulse, while a lab test revealed he was at least 936-years-old. With an occasional cheer or nod, he addressed puzzling questions about mortal conditions.
The organs and forms of consciousness were pitstops on his journey.

The last glance in physical form.

before his Samadhi.

He walked the earth, yet soared the skies.
In him, the elements did blend, a harmony that knew no end.
