Raja was born in 1981 in Pithapuram in South India. He belonged to the devout Malyala family. The Malyalas of Pithapuram were known for their devotion and simplicity. Their ancestors served the Maharaja of Pithapuram. As a reward for their excellent service, the Maharaja granted them a special privilege to worship Lord Kukkuteswara Swamy at midnight (Lingodbhavakalam) on Mahashivaratri every year. Since then, generations of Malyala brothers have performed abhishekam to the Lord during Lingodbhavakalam.
Raja grew up in Pithapuram, witnessing the devotion and worship of his family. He did his post-graduation in finance and worked as an investment banker. He travelled to major financial hubs like Mumbai, London and New York for work before settling as a product manager in a fintech startup in Hyderabad. He received spiritual initiation from Swami Gahananandaji of Sri Ramakrishna Mutt in Khar, while working in Mumbai. He is a spiritual seeker and does a lot self-study and research on various mythological scriptures. Srimad Bhagavatam written in Telugu by Sri Bammera Potana is his favourite. He prayed to Goddess Gayatri and Goddess Shyamala daily. One day, Goddess Shyamala showered her grace. She played the Vallaki. He learnt that the God’s creation actually is blissful. But it looks the other way because of ego and desire. The magic of Vallaki showed an ego that the reason for all the suffering is the ego itself, that so long as the ego and desire exist, it cannot see the blissful and joyful world. So, blessed by God, this ego will now wait for the time when it loses its existence and dissolve into the blissful joy of the Lord.
