Sri Guru Raghavendra Swami Jayanti 2026 – Mantralayam Moola Brindavanam


Sri Guru Raghavendra Swami was a great and influential saint of Hinduism. Mantralayam is a famous Hindu pilgrimage centre where the Moola Brindavanam of Sri Guru Raghavendra Swami is located.

Sri Guru Raghavendra Swami lived in the 16th century and was a revered Acharya of the Madhva Sampradaya. Devotees especially worship him on Thursdays, which are considered very auspicious for Sri Guru Raghavendra Swami.

He strongly propagated Vaishnavism and the Dvaita philosophy preached by Sri Madhvacharya. Devotees believe Sri Guru Raghavendra Swami to be the re-embodiment of Prahlada, the great devotee saved by Lord Vishnu in His Narasimha avatar.

Sri Guru Raghavendra Swami performed many miracles during his lifetime and is believed to continue blessing his devotees even today. His name, “Raghavendra,” was chosen by Moola Rama Devaru (Lord Rama) and holds deep spiritual meaning. It signifies Lord Rama as the Indra of the Raghu dynasty and also means “one who destroys sins and grants desired boons.”

Sri Raghavendra Tirtha began his mission by teaching his disciples the works of Sri Madhvacharya. He spread true knowledge, defeated philosophical opponents, guided his disciples, and composed many scholarly works for the benefit of future generations.
