/**********************************************************\ Sri SwaRNa VaRNa thirthara P D ( Sri Ranga) 1420 on the banks of river Kaveri.8th pontiff of Sri Sripadarajar Mutt. He was on his way to Abbur from Sri Ranga when he identified Sri Lakshminarayana, a cowherd who later became his disciple and called Sripadarajaru. SwaRN VarNa means the colour of gold. As the yogi's body was glittering like gold, he was called SwaRNa VaRNA Thirtha.A great scholar. The credit for having identified extraordinary intelligence in a young boy making him adept in all branches of knowledge, and giving him to Karnataka State and language, must be given to Sri SwaRNavaRNa Thirtha.Sri Swarnavarna Theertharu Brief History of Sri Swarnavarna TheerthaSri Swarnavarna Theertha looked after the ashram for few years. He also helped the kings in

solving the problems faced by them at that time. He traveled to many neighboring states. He once visited Adi Ranga in Sri Rangapattana and Madhya Ranga in Shivanasamudra, both in Karnataka.He visited Sri Purushottama Theertha in his ashram, which was located at the banks of the Kanva River near Shivanasamudra.There he saw a young boy who was studying under Sri Purushottama Theertha in his ashram. Sri Swarnavarna Theertha was very much attracted by the boy's talent.He narrated this to Sri Purushottama Theertha and expressed the Eagerness to have such a talented disciple. that he requested the boy's parents to send the boy with him. But the boy's parents hesitated to send him.

Then with Sri Purushottama Theertha's intervention, Sri Purushottama Theertha requested the boy's parents to send the boy with Sri Swarnavarna Theertha. the parents accepted to send the boy. Fascinated by this strange incident, Sri Swarnavarna Theertha along with the boy came back to Sri Rangam.In 1412 he arranged for the boy's Bramhopadesham and renamed him as Sri Lakshmi Narayana.Later Sri Lakshmi Narayana was sent to Sri Vibhudhendra Theertha for education.Sri Lakshmi Narayana stayed with him for eight years and became a learned man. He returned to Sri Rangam after his education.In 1420 Sri Swarnavarna Theertha made Sri Lakshmi Narayana Muni as his successor and entered the Brindavana in Sri RangamCourtesy: sripadarajamutt.orgDhyaana Sloka:Vasudhaatala
