Amongst
hundreds of Brindavanams of Guru Raghavendra, there is an excellent
Mruthika Brindavanam located at Saligramam, Chennai-93, Tamil Nadu.
Guru Raghavendra fulfils the desire and removes the miseries and
sorrows of the devotees for those who surrender to him with
involvement. The place at Saligramam, Chennai-93, was identified by
Smt.Savithiri Ammal, wife of Sri.B.S.Srinivas Rao , with the divine
blessings in her dream for the installation of Mruthika Brindavanam
of Sri Raghavendra Swamy. The Mruthika Brindavanam installed at
Saligramam, Chennai, Tamilanadu by Sri Sri Visweswara Theertha
Sripadangalavaru, Peetathipathi of Pejawar Mutt, Udupi on 15th July
1975.
The importance of this Mutt at Saligramam is known by
the fact that Sri Sri Ragoothumaswamy Brindavanam is also installed
by Sri Sri Satyapromoda Theertha Sripadangalavaru of Uttradhi Mutt,
during 1992.
The sanctity of this Mutt is increasing day by
day by offering Laksha Pushpa Archana (every year), Koti Pushpa
Archana for a second time from 2010. Many Swamijies of various Mutts
are often visit this Mutt and perform Samasthana Poojas, notably
among them is that of Madhava Theertha Mutt Peetathipathi performed
Chathurmasa vratham in this place.
Bhakthas formed an
installation committee and initiated installation of
SriRaghavendraswamy’s Mruthika Brindavanam. This is the only Mutt
in India where deities namely Sri Anantha Padmanabhaswamy, Sri
Anjaneya, Sri Vinayaka, and Sri Manchalamma are installed for the
well-being of all public.
The installation Committee was later
changed as “Sri Raghavendraswamy Brindavanam Committee” which
takes care of maintenance and other improvements of the Mutt. For
Administrative convenience, Shri Raghavendraswamy Brindavanam Trust
was formed to look after all the religious activities of the Mutt
like Aradhanas, daily sevas, etc. Later, with the idea of poor
feeding and Annadhanam for the needy, Sri Raghavendraswamy Annadhanam
Trust was formed which is now looking after Hasthothakam, Annadhanam
on Thursdays and on other days as desired by devotees.
The
daily sevas, Hasthothakam, Annadhanam etc., are being performed
regularly and the seva list is appended separately.

By chanting the names of Guru Raghavendra, especially at his Brindavanams, all of our sins would be washed away. We can worship Guru Raghavendra as our Kula Devata, since he contains sufficient powers equivalent to our Kula Devata, and he got those powers, through his staunch devotion, affection and meditation on Lord Rama, and still, day by day, he is gaining tremendous spiritual powers, out of his sincerity on Lord Rama. Those who are not aware about their Kula Devata, can also worship Guru Raghavendra as their Ishta Devata (Beloved Deity), as well as they can worship him as their Kula Devata (Family Deity).
