Sri Rudrabhayananda’s paternal family comes from the Mullamutil lineage and the maternal family has a royal lineage. From his youth he was driven by the desire for knowledge and in particular strove to find answers to three questions: * "What is God?" * "What is life?" * "Why is poverty there in the world?" He was particular in asking questions like, "If God is there, then, it is important that he shows up". People used to find this disturbing. The search to find these answers as well as the necessity to gather more knowledge led him into various fields of endeavour, including becoming a qualified practitioner of two systems of Indian Alternative Medicines and a certified practitioner of Homoeopathy as well. Thought and philosophy Sri Rudrabhayananda conveys his understanding of God and its through his speeches and writings, called Transformations. At the age of ten he had mastered the occult science of creating the Auric Grid. Though he was not able to gauge what he was doing but he knew the art. The transformation started soon and he was blessed to be in contact with many spiritual teachers who were interested to provide him knowledge and also make him aware of the knowledge he gained from his past lives. Rudrabhayananda was the name given to R. Venugopalan by Aghor Baba Pinakadrik ji, the respected founder of Aghor panth. His spiritual journey started at an early age when he was given the opportunity to study and perform intensive meditation under the guidance of various eminent teachers like Aghor Baba Pinakadrik, Swami Chidananda, Lama Dzsong Rinponche, and Matang Baba.

Current Activities In 1996, Sri Rudrabhayananda formed Soul Searchers, a centre for teaching occult sciences to his disciples. Seekers have claimed that they have experienced physical and emotional healing, have been able to eliminate stress successfully and have been able to create a sense of belonging. He has developed more than 2000 meditation techniques and over 20 programs covering various fields at the Body, Mind and Soul levels.

Sri Rudrabhayananda has been consistently and selflessly conducting workshops across India on Kundalini Diksha, Reiki I, II, Mastership and Grand mastership, Ananth Yoga among many other techniques that help the seekers in a manifold way. He says,"Manushya, the term, has its origin in two words one 'Mana' meaning manas (heart+brain) and second being 'Isa' meaning the process of transcending. When the realization of this word occurs, the man in the form understands the real purpose of life and grows beyond to be Manav or humane." Mahashunya Kriya Mahashunya Kriya, a Sadhana system, developed by Sri Rudrabhayananda is the flagship programme of the Soul Searchers, of which Ananth Yoga forms the first step. It is a four level course for sadhakas and disciples and all individuals. It works at three levels - Mind, Body and Soul. Mahashunya Kriya, if practised with sincere efforts, allows a person to go into the state of Samadhi. Ananth Yoga helps sadhakas in rising above the material world and desires. It reduces stress and helps balance the major chakras of the body.
