Sugyanendra teertaru

- Sheshadri P.R. Rao

Shraavana, Krushna, Chathurthi, Wednesday is the aaraadhana mahothsava of Sri SugnaanEndra Teertharu, Raayara Mutt. His moola vrundaavana is located in Najanagoodu. A British officer, once, forcefully tries to come and take the darshana of Swaamigalu in the mutt, but Srigalu denies his request. Inspite of the denial, he enters the mutt and urges the staff to help him talk to Srigalu. Sri Sugnaanendraru, after learning about his adamant behavior, accepts to talk to him. A Shishya brings a chair and puts in the meeting area, the Srigalu comes and sits in the chair. Though Srigalu becomes audible and visible to others, the British officer could only hear the voice but not see Srigalu (saw only a vacant chair), which takes him by surprise. He bows to the TapassShakthi of Srigalu, accepts Mantraakshate and goes back. This was the greatness of Sri Sugnaanendra Teertharu.
