About this Event
Every year in the Sravana masa (month), SGSS celebrates the Aradhana Mahotsava commemorating the divine Brindavana Pravesha of Sri Guru Raghavendra, the Kaliyuga Kamadhenu and Kaliyuga Kalpataru, to bestow His Grace on all His Devotees, for the fulfilment of their wishes and thereby for serving the cause of Human Happiness and Spiritual Realisation.
Sri Raghavendra Swami was born as the second son of Gopikamba and Thimanna Bhatta in the year 1595. The great saint who was hailed as the incarnation of Prahalada, the great bhakta of Lord Maha Vishnu, was born in the Mrighashirsha Nakshatra at Buvanagiri which is in the present day Tamilnadu.
Born as Venkatanatha and fondly called as Venkata Ramana, Sri Raghavendra Swami was the epitome of piety and bhakti. After serving the world and the lord for a lifetime, Sri Raghavendra Swami attained Jeeva Samadhi in the year 1671. It happened on the Dwitiya of Krishna Paksha of the Shravana month. The Brindavana that houses the samadhi is in the Raghavendra Mutt in Mantralayam and is visited by hundreds and thousands of devotees each year. The day of his Samadhi is celebrated as Sri Raghavendra Swamy Aradhana.
