Sri Vijayamadhava Teertharu was the 26th Pontiff of Shri Madhava Teertha Math. He attained Hari Pada in 1996. His Moola Brindavan is located in Tambihalli.
He was a humble medical representative in his Poorvashrama in Kolar. Sri Vijayamadhava Teertharu renewed the old connections with Saurashtra Madhwas of Madurai, who were initiated to Madhwa Deeksha by Sri Ramamadhava Teertharu between 1720 to 1740. Sri Vijayamadhava Teertharu had observed Chaturmasya Vrata at the Hanuman Temple consecrated by Sri Ramamadhava Teertharu, at Madurai.
Sri Vijayamadhava Teertharu attained Haripada in a divine way. On the Uttararadhana day of Sri Madhava Teertharu, Sri Vijayamadhava Teertharu was performing Samasthana Pooja. When he was displaying the vigraha of Sri Prasanna Ramachandra Devaru, (Made by Sri Madhava Teertharu and worshipped by Sri Narahari Teertharu) a light came out of the Idol (Vigraha) and entered him. With this he breathed his last holding the Idol (Vigraha). This extraordinary event was witnessed by all the devotees who were present on that day. This event is captured in his Charama Sloka as well.
