Sri Surendara Tirtharu

Sri Surendara Tirtharu famously circled the entire earth three times while engaging in rigorous fasting, demonstrating utterly remarkable spiritual strength. Known for his staggering devotion, he once astonishingly offered an entire garden of Tulasi plants directly to Lord Hari before they were even plucked! Highly honored by the Vijayanagara King Ramaraya, he majestically led the lineage and brilliantly initiated Sri Vijayeendra Teertha to secure the Matha's glorious future. His holy Brindavana is located at Madurai.
