Sri Uttanda Ramachandra Tirtharu

Sri Ramachandra Teertha (also known as Uddanda Rama Teertha ) was a powerful saint who actively assisted the chieftain of Penukonda while strictly upholding Dvaita philosophy. Alongside other legendary pontiffs, he performed intense penance on Bhramhagiri hill, miraculously flying to the summit daily to bathe and worship without disturbing the sacred monkeys. He fiercely guarded the sacred deities, ordained Sri Raghunatha Teertha as his successor, and entered Brindavana near Penukonda.
