A miraculous boy was born on 16th November 1954 (30th Tulam 1130 ME) in pooyam star as the eighth son of Chellamma and Jnanaprakasam of Chenkal village, Neyyattinkara Taluk, Thiruvananthapuram district. He had many peculiarities right from birth. The most characteristic among them was his matted hair on the head. When he was around three, he used to meditate sitting in the southwest corner of his house. At the age of ten, he renamed himself as krishnan and began to known as Krishanankutty. Later a termitary came up at that place resembling Sri Sivaparvathi. One day a person at that village ridiculed that the termitary has no miraculous power and trampled it. A serpent appeared from that and that person ran for his life. With this, the fame of the termitary spread among the people of that locality and devotees started arriving in large numbers. Later he built a Sivaparvathi temple at the place where there was termitary.
After getting divine darshan of God in dream swamiji constructed Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartikeya temples. This brought the concept of Sivaparivar at the temple.It was the astroller and the temple priest Mukkolakkal Krishnan who first gave him initiation of sacred text of manthras. Then he became a desciple of Keezhperur Madom K.S. Madhavan Namboodiri, from there he learned puja rituals and procedures of worship. He commenced Ganapathi homam (holy materials to the sacrificial fire) with one cocanut and now with 10008 cocanuts on Vinayaka chathurthi day. Hearing about this rare event at Maheswaram Sri Sivaparvathi Temple, head of Kanchikamakodi Madam Sri Sri Sri Jayendra Saraswathi swamigal visited temple in 2010 and blessed Krishnankutty Swamy. Appreciating the spiritual activities of Krishnankutty Swamy, Sri Sri Sri Jayendra Saraswathi swamigal gave Diksha to Krishnankutty swamy. Since then ChenkalKrishnankuttySwamy became known as Swamy Maheswarananda Saraswathi and the temple trust was renamed as Maheswaram Sri Sivaparvathi Temple Trust. On 20th Februvary 2011 (9th Kumbha, 1186 ME) Lord Mahadeva gave him divine darshan and commanded Swamiji to construct a temple as designed by ancient saints.
