Great Facts about the Great Saint Raghavendra Swamy

Mantralayam is the place where the great Madhwa saint Sri Raghavendhra Swami (1595-1671) went into Jeeva Samadhi pre-planned in front of a huge crowd of devotees in the year 1671.  He is believed to live in the Jeeva Samadhi for 700 years. Sri Raghavendhra Swami advocated Vaishnavism and the Dvaita philosophy advocated by Madhvacharya.

• Sri Raghavendhra is considered by his devotees to be a reincarnation of Prahlada, the devotee who was saved by Vishnu in His Narasimha avatar. In his next birth he was Vyasaraja, the rajaguru of Vijayanagara empire and in his next birth was Guru Raghavendhra.

• The place of Moola Brindhavan was selected by him because he conducted yagna at the very same place when he was Prahalatha.

• Sri Raghavendhra got the boon from the Panchamukhi Anjaneyar for remaining on earth in non physical form for 700 years in his Brindhavan to bless people. 350 years have already gone and so we have another 350 years after which he is expected to merge with God. Even today it is said that the sound of Raghavendhra going for bath at the Tungabadra in the early morning hours and doing pooja for Moola Ramar is heard, especially in the month of Danur (Margazhi).

• While going through Sri Raghavendhra’s life, it was interesting to know that he is more connected to Tamilnadu than to Karnataka:
  • He was born in 1601 in Bhuvanagiri near Chidambaram.
  • He studied under his guru Suseendhra Theerthar at Kumbakonam mutt and after marriage, he returned to the mutt and headed it.
  • Venkatanathan became Sri Raghavendhra, i.e., he got his Sanyasam at Tanjore in the year 1623-24 and stayed at Tanjore for 12 years.
