Life turn – into Sanyasa as Guru Raghavendra

Mantralayam Temple’s Epic Story As Venkatanath continued to devote his life to worshipping the Lord and teaching the younger generation, his mentor Sri Sudheendra Theertharu, who had taught him spiritual virtues, was now looking for a successor to run his mutt.

When Venkatanatha visited his guru once to inquire about the whereabouts of himself and his family, the guru realised Venkatanatha was the ideal candidate to be his descendant. Venkatanatha originally declined since he was constrained by family obligations, but he allowed himself the opportunity to talk with his wife about it. Poojas and Service at the Mantralayam Temple

While returning home, he encountered Goddess Sawraswath (Goddess of Learning), who described his birth as Raghavendra in the Kaliyuga and Prhaladha in a prior birth. After having a change of heart, Venkathanatha decides to seek salvation as a “Sanyasi” (an avatar who commits to committing themselves entirely to the Almighty and renunciating family ties/surrendering themselves to the Lord whole and single). On Phalguni Sukla Dwitiya at Tanjore, in 1621, he then assumed control of the mutt.
