Sri Raghavendra Swami Mata, Nanjanagudu, Mysore

Information on one of the Sri Raghavendra Mata was given in the TV show Heegu Unte. The program is popular and many visit the temples and sacred places shoed in this program to get solutions to their problems. The Raghavendra Mata which was shown is in Nanjanagudu near Mysore. Nanjanagudu is also famous for Shreekanteshwara temple.

Also information on an old building was given from which the hymns and Vedic chants will be hearing. It is also believed that many saints had lived in this place. This mata is also famous Second Mantralaya. Everywhere you will find the ‘Brindavan’ of Sri Raghavendra Swami but here the carving of Raghavendra Swami is present on the stone. Many experience the divinity at this place which is present no where else.

The place gained importance because of a saint Sri Sugnanendra Theertha Swamiji who lived at this place and wanted to have his last moments at Mantralaya. But it was not possible for him to visit Mantralaya during his last moments and he went to Samaadhi stithi at Nanjanagudu itself. Sri Sugnanendra Theertha Swamiji along with others namely Sri Sujanendra Theertha Swamiji, Sri Suprajnendra Theertha Swamiji and Sri Sukruthindra Theertha Swamiji performed Yagnas to attain moksha and get blessings of Lord Sri Hari. May be this is the reason behind the hearing of Vedic chants at this place till today.

Sri Sugnanendra Theertha Swamiji was upset on his cancellation of going to Mantralaya and one fine day Sri Raghavendra Swami came in his dreams informing that he will be present at Nanjanagudu and also informed to meet a laundry man who will guide further. As guided in his dreams, Sri Sugnanendra Theertha Swamiji met the laundry man who gives a stone to Swamiji with a drawing of Sri Raghavendra Swami on it. Swamiji brought the stone and did the pratisthapane and the drawing on the stone later developed into fine carving.

Many people visit there with a belief it solves all kinds of problems and also those who are finding difficulty in studies and education visited this place to get rid of their problems.

Nanjanagudu is a popular place, one can stay either at Nanjanagudu or Mysore.
