ABHINAVA MANTRALAYA PROJECT

Dear Devotees,

Shri Raghavendra Thirtharu

Shri Gurugalu is well known for his divine power and available to all. The main Brindavana, the abode of Shri Raghavendra Thirtha exists in Mantralayam, Adoni Taluka, and Karnool district of A.P. India.

However the various Mritika Brindavanas are established throughout the world for doing the seva and worship of Shri Raghavendra Thirtha.

One of such Brindavana is established in Mumbai at Jogeshwari West in the western suburbs in 1971. This establishment ceremony was conducted and sanctified by Shri Shri Sujayeendra Thirtha in 1971. In fact this has happened through an indication of dream sequence of a devotee.

Presently this Mutt is a branch of Mantralayam Mutt, functioning under the guidance and blessings of Shri Shri Sushameendra Thirtharu (present peethadhipati) and Shri Shri Suyatindra thirtharu of Raghavendra Swami Mutt, Mantralayam.
