From the Peetam to Adi Annamalai
The same Mouna Swami — at a new place.
For several years pilgrims found Mouna Swami at Sri Mouna Swami Peetam on the Girivalam road, after the Niruthi Lingam. He has since moved to Siva Sri Thiyaneswar Amma Ashram at Vediyappanur, Adi Annamalai, on the same Girivalam path, where Maataji — his guru — and the ashram family look after him. Many maps, reviews and videos online still show the Peetam; please come to the ashram instead.
