Sri Raghuprema Tirtharu (Koodli Matha)

Sri Raghuprema Tirtharu (Koodli Matha) Tirtharu (Koodli Matha) Tirtharu (Koodli Matha), originally named Srinivasa, was a magnificent Aparoksha Gyani and Avadhoota Shiromani. After facing severe hardships in his poorvashrama, he embarked on a profound spiritual quest. Performing rigorous seva at Pampa Kshetra, Sri Mukhyaprana divinely appeared in his dream and guided him. After years of wandering across India in search of a true master, he was directed to his Adhyathma Guru, Sri Aralikatte Narasimhacharyaru. Later, he was bestowed sanyasa deeksha by Sri Raghudantha Tirtharu to head the Koodli Matha. Remarkably, he soon relinquished this powerful administrative Peetha to live the pure, fiercely independent life of a Bidi Sanyasi! He spent his life completely immersed in Bhagavatha Dharma. Before entering his holy Brindavana at Adoni, he majestically installed the idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, and Anjaneya.
