His Holiness Sri Vidyadeesha Teertha Swamiji visit to Madhwa hostel


The visit of Sri Sri Sri Vidyadheesha Sripadharu was a very fulfilling experience to the hostel mates.  Shri Shri Vidyadheesha Teertha is the thirtieth pontiff.  Sri Vidyadheesha Teertha was born in 1956 and accepted sanyasa from Sri Vibhudesha Teertha of Admar Math in 1979. He was a scholar par excellence. People from all walks of life were attracted towards him.
                   The day saw the hostelites rushing, finishing their daily chores of taking bath, offering prayer to god and having tiffin. We were eagerly waiting for the swamiji‘s arrival. All arrangements were done including the hostel cleaning, cleaning of the parking area which was allotted for the the cooking of the feast!
                     At about 10 15 am, swamiji arrived along with the disciples who started preparations for the “Rama Devara Pooja”. Swamiji was also accompanied by His holiness Ishapriya Teertha swamiji who performed   the pooja, which was followed by the delicious feast. The swamiji then rendered “AASHIRVACHANA”, which was followed by Mantrakshathe.
               We were truly blessed by the swamiji‘s visit who have taken us through the wonderful spiritual journey!
