Contributed by Sheshadri P.R. Rao
Aashveeja, Krishna, Truteeya, SthiraVaara is the aaraadhane of Sri LakshmiNaatha Teertharu, Kundaapura Vyaasaraaja Mata.
· His moola Vrundaavana is in Naraseepura, 8km from DaabasaPete bus stop, towards DevaraayanaDurga/GoravanaHalli LakshmiDevi Gudi.
· To reach there, travel on the Tumkur road, turn right in DaabasaPete to go towards Devaraayana Durga.
· After you travel 8 km, before you enter the Naraseepura village, turn left to go to the Gudi. Talk to any villager for guidance.
· Naraseepura is famous from the days of Raamaayana. 8 km from Naraseepura is Hayagunda, a place where Lava-Kusha are believed have tied the Haya (horse) that was sent by SriRaama Devaru.
· Close to Naraseepura is a small hill (Betta), which has the foot prints of SriRaamaDevaru.
· Sri Lakshminaatharu belonged to this place even in his poorvaashrama.
· He is believed to have done Sajeeva Vrundaavana Pravesha in 1824 A.D.
· His Vrundaavana is in the middle of Baale-Tengina-Adake thota, just like Sri Brahmanya Teertharu, Abbooru.
· It is a Jaagrutha Kshetra, where Sri Lakshminaatharu even to-date is blessing the Aaartharu and Bhaktaru.
· Sri Prkaashaachaarya, who does the everyday pooje of Sri Lakshminaatharu, seems have got the Saakshaath Darshana many times (as told by himself to me many a times).
· Being a Saturaday-holiday, please go and have Sri Lakshminaathara darushana and serve him with your Thanu-Mana-Dhana.
· Any Sahaaya that you do to Sri Prakaashaachaaryaru during this aaraadhane will be appreciated and blessed.
· Please feel free to quote my name for any help or assistance when you go there.
· Sri Aachaaryaru is very kind and helpful and lives close to the Gudi.
