Sri Raghavendra Swami’s 

347th  Aradhana Mahotsavam

At Sri Danvantri Arogya Peedam, Walajapet.


With the blessings of our Guruji, “Kayilai Gnanaguru” Dr. Sri Muralidhara Swamigal, we are conducting Sri Raghavendra Swami’s 347th  Aradhana Mahotsavam from Monday 27.08.2018 to Wednesday 29.08.2018 by 10.00 AM to 1.00 PM on daily basis at our Sri Danvantri Arogya Peedam, Walajapet. Special yagams and poojas are conducted in Sri Ragavendra Swami Sannadhi of our Peedam.

Shri Guru Raghavendra Swami is an influential 16th century Hindu saint who advocated Vaishnavism (worship of Vishnu as the supreme God) and Shri Madhvacharya’s Dvaitaphilosophy. Sri Raghavendra is the founder pontiff of the Madhwa Peedam. Shri Raghavendra Swami was born as Shri Venkanna Bhatta, the second son of Shri Thimanna Bhatta and Smt. Gopikamba on Thursday, Sukla Saptami of Phalguna month in 1595, when the moon was in Mrigashirisha Nakshatra, at Bhuvanagiri, near present-day Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu. His life was spent in the worship of God and service of humanity, his spiritual guru, Shri Sudheendra Theertharu, was looking for a successor to his math. He had a dream where the Lord indicated that Shri Venkatanatha would be the right person to succeed him as the pontiff. Shri Venkatanatha initially refused due to his responsibility towards his young wife and son but was soon blessed by the Goddess of Learning, where she in a dream indicated that he was to seek salvation as a Sanyasi. Shri Venkatanatha treated this as an omen and changed his mind. The sanyasa ordination took place in 1621 on the Phalguni Sukla Dwitiya at Tanjore. Shri Raghavendra Swami attained Jeeva samadhi on Dwitiya Day of Sravana Krishna Paksha in 1671. This date is celebrated each year as Shri Raghavendra Swami Aradhana at Brindavans all over the world. The Raghavendra Matha in Mantralaya housing his Brindavan is visited by thousands of devotees every year.
