HISTORY
The 19th-century Mouna Swamigal, Mutt was established in 1843 CE at Kumbakonam. Mouna Swamigal was born at Thirubhuvanam. He was very good at studies, especially in spiritual, and started meditation at a young age itself. He wandered here and there, consuming very little food and sometimes only water. He never spoke to anybody. He was taken to Kumbakonam as per a divine voice.  He used to be in the samadhi state for many hours, doing meditation, and the rest of the time, he used to do poojas to a Shiva Lingam at the ashram. Many people have got blessings and feel their problems are solved. Hearing his greatness, Devotees started pouring into the Ashram, to get blessings of Mouna Swamigal. He used to bless his devotees with a smiling face. His Chief disciple was Arunachala Swamigal also a Siddhar from Thiruvannamalai.

Some of his devotees are Maha Periyava ( He praised Mouna Swamigal as Siddha Purusha ), Swami Vivekananda ( on a trip to Kumbakonam came and worshipped Mounasmy, Annie Besant Ammaiyar, Arundale of Brahmo Samaj and many Europeans.

Devotees used to break coconuts in front of him and offer garments, some do annadhanam to the Devotees gathered at the ashram after their wishes are fulfilled.

Mouna Swamigal attained Samadhi on 22nd April 1899 CE. His body was taken around Kumbakonam, to facilitate the people to offer their last respects. He was laid to rest in sitting posture and a temple was built. A Shiva Lingam was installed on the Samadhi. Later His disciple’s jeeva samadhi’s are built in the same premises.
