According to some accounts, Trailanga Swami lived to be 280 years old,〔〔 residing at Varanasi between 1737-1887. He is regarded by devotees as an incarnation of Shiva. Ramakrishna referred to him as the "The walking Shiva of Varanasi".
==Early life==
His pre-monastic name was Shivarama and he was born in Logisa at Vizianagaram in Andhra Pradesh. His biographers and his disciples differ on his birth date and the period of his longevity. According to one disciple biographer, he was born in 1529, while according to another biographer it was 1607.
His parents were Narashingha Rao and Vidyavati Devi, who were devotees of the god Shiva. After the death of his father in 1647, at the age of 40, he gave up wealth and family responsibilities to his half brother Sridhar. His mother, Vidya Devi, then shared with him the fact that her father at the time of death expressed desire to be born to her and continue his Kali sadhana for the benefit of mankind. She told Sivarama that she believed that he was her father reincarnated and that he should take up Kali sadhana. Upon the initiation of a Kali mantra from his mother, Sivarama carried out Kali sadhana in the nearby Kali temple and Punya Kshetras, but was never far away from his mother. In 1669 his mother, Viya Devi, died. After his mother's death, he saved his mother's sacred ashes (chita bhasma). He would wear chita bhasma and continue his Kali sadhana day and night (teevra sadhana). During that time, Sivarama lived the life of a recluse in a cottage, built by his half-brother, near a cremation ground. After 20 years of spiritual practice (''sadhana''), he met his preceptor swami, Bhagirathananda Saraswati, in 1679 from the Punjab. Bhagirathananda initiated Shivaram into monastic vows (''sannyasa'') and named him Swami Ganapati Saraswati in 1685. Ganapati reportedly led a life of severe austerities and went on a pilgrimage, reaching Prayag in 1733, before finally settling in Varanasi in 1737.〔
