Sri Sathayanadha Theertha Brindhavana – Veera chola puram

  • Sri Sathyanatha theertha was the 6th peetadhipathi from Sri Raghoothama theertha.
  • He was the peetadhipathi at the same time when Sri Raghavendra swami was in Sri Mutt.
  • But Sri Sathayanatha theertha went to his samadhi after Sri Raghavendra Swami’s Jeeva samadhi.

His guru              : Sri Sathayanidhi theertha (Brindhavanam at kurnool)

His shishyaru   : Sri Sathya Abhinava theertha (Nachiayarkoil, near Kumbakonam)

His aaradhana : Margasirsha shudha Ekadhasi (On Mokshadha Ekadhasi day, also Gita Jayanthi)

  • Sri Sathayanatha theertharu is performing miracles even today for his devotees. 
  • He used to select Ekadhasi day and will give pravachana by just walking on his bare legs travelling places.
  • One day, his mortial exsistence came to end and vishnu dutas came to take him to Vishnu lokha in celestial place. But Sri Sathyanatha theertha asked the vishnu dutas to wait for few days because he wants to perform the Mahasamaaradhana of his guru. Vishnu dutas also waited under a tree and after the Mahasamaaradhana of his guru was performed, he was taken to Vaikunta.
  • Sri Raghavendra swami used to call Sri Sathayanadha theertha as the “Lion of Uttaradhi mutt”.

His written works were about 12 but only 8 are known.

There are these idols of Sri Anjaneya installed by Sri Vyasaraaja near Sri Sathayanatha brindhavana.
