Shree PadmanaaBha T P D (Nava Vrindaavana) [ 1317-1324 ]

 

How he became an Yathi:

 

Once at Raja Mahendri, a “Vidhwat sabha” was taking place. King

Ganapathi belonging to Kaakatheeya dynasty was ruling the Waraangal kingdom at

that time. In his Asthaana there was a pundit called Shobhana Bhattaru. A

great sanskrit scholar. He was conducting that vidhwat sabha. Sri Man

Madhwacharya happened to come to that Sabha and won in the debate.

Shobhana Bhatta was amazed with the scholarly qualities of Sri man Madhwar. He

was defeated in the debate. He accepted the defeat before Acharya. He

accepted the dvaitha system of thought as the best one and became his

disciple. He was named PadhmanaaBha theertha and became next to Sriman

Madhwar.

 

Sri ShoBhana Bhatta the first Telugu adwaitian after realising the

greatness of Sri Madhwachaarya took sanyaasam, acquired the name

PadmanaaBha Theertha and became his first disciple. Sri Sumadhwa Vijaya praises

him and say that “ Guru Upadesha” is possible only after listening to the

Shaasatra and had been the case with him. After learning at the feet of Srimad

Achaarya, he took on himself the work of propagating his tenets and

wrote several works. His scholarship and erudition in his work called “

Sannyaya RathanaavaLi” a commentary on Anu Vykhyaana of Sri Achaarya is

unmatched. He succeeded Sri man Madhwa and ruled the Dvaitha Sidhdhantha

Saamraajya and preached Thatwa Saara for nearly 7 years before entering the

Brindavan.

– News letter – Sri Madhwacharya Seva Sangha, Chennai-76, Nov 1998)

 

WORKS: His works are Paravaadhi Khamdane, Madhwas sidhdhamtha Mamdana,

spent his time in Thathwa prasaaraa and spreading madhwas’s dvaitha

message.
