Sri Yatiraja Wodeyaru

Sri Yatiraja Wodeyaru was a deeply revered Bidi Sanyasi of the Sosale Vyasaraja Matha parampara. He brilliantly established the Matha at Tumkuru! In a powerful display of devotion, the divine 'Bedi Krishna' idol that he intensely worshipped was respectfully handed over to the Sosale Vyasaraja Matha Samsthana after his passing, entirely fulfilling his direct orders. Magnificently, this very same sacred idol is still worshipped in the Samsthana's daily pooja even today!
