Sri Ramanatha Tirtharu

Sri Ramanatha Tirtharu was an incredibly powerful ascetic whose profound spiritual energy famously incinerated the homes of a hostile mob that attacked his procession in Gokarna. Fearlessly protecting the dignity of his followers, he rigorously enforced the religious boundaries of the Matha. He miraculously initiated his successor just moments before attaining Haripada in Venkatapura. His holy Brindavana is located at Venkatapur.
