Madhwa

Shri Vibhudhapriya Teertharu

He was a great scholar of Madhwa shasthras and a great ascetic. During one of his pilgrimages he was at the banks of river Godavari. At that time , pleased with Shri’s devotion and austerities ,the Ganges came in the form of a stone in his hands. People who were there observed this and then the King of that province honoured Shri learning about his greatness. Also, he gave a Gomed (Hessonite) box to keep the stone idol of Bhageerathi devi. All devotees in the area around the banks of Godavari insisted that such a great swami to stay in that place forever. Swamiji told them that since the Krishna pooja deeksha (Paryaya) was approaching fast he was unable to stay in that place. He came back to Udupi after being immensely honoured by the locals of that place. He made arrangements for daily pooja of Bhageerathi Devi along with Lord Narasimha. Even now, one could see the Gomed boxed Bhageerathi Devi getting worshipped with Lord Narasimha. Later he transferred the reins of the Matha to his disciple Shri Vidyasagara Theertha and left for the heavenly abode on the 12th day of Ashada Shuddha.
