Sri Mahendra Theertha holds the position as the fifth saint in the guru parampare lineage of the Pejawar Mutt, succeeding Sri Adhokshaja Theertha.
He received his Ashrama from Sri Amarendra Theertha and led the Peeta for a period of 22 years.
Renowned for his deep tapasya (austerities), Sri Mahendra Theertha practiced nirashana vrata (fasting) as part of his spiritual discipline.
Sri Vijayadhwaja Theertha, his disciple, praised him in the work "Padaratnavali" for his exceptional qualities.
After relinquishing his responsibilities to Sri Vijayadhwaja Theertha, it is believed that Sri Mahendra Theertha entered Vrindavan on the banks of the river Godavari.
However, the precise location of his Vrindavan requires further research for confirmation.
