He was born Śivarāma of Vādhūla gotra in Brahmapuram, a village on the river Palar.Template:Sfn This would date to the middle of the 18th century, based on tales of his association, as an older contemporary, with Tyagaraja (1767–1847 CE).Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn
He was initiated into Sannyasa by Vasudevendra Sarasvati in Kanchipuram, where he settled down, and eventually founded a matha of his own, the Upanishad Brahmendra matham.Template:Sfn His initiation name was Rāmachandrendra, but he came to be known for his scholarship by names such as Upanishad-brahma-yogi, Upanishad-brahmendra and Upanishad-brahman.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn
His commentaries on all 108 Upanishads of the Muktika canon were the fulfilment of a wish of his father Śivakāmeśvara.Template:Sfn Besides these, he was also the author of independent works such as the Paramādvaita-siddhānta-paribhāṣāTemplate:Sfn and the Upeya-nāma-viveka.Template:Sfn A prolific author, he annotated the colophons of each of his works with the number of granthas contained in it, presumably to prevent interpolation. On this basis, his works amount to over 45,000 granthas.Template:Sfn
His samadhi is located on the banks of the Sarva Teertham tank in Kanchipuram along with 4 other Samadhis.[1]
