INTRODUCTION :
Sri Upendra Tirtha (12th century) was the disciple of Sri Madhvacharya, and the pontiff of the Puthige Mutt at Udupi. He was the sincere devotee of Lord Vittala, and daily used to do puja to the deity which was given by his Guru Sri Madhvacharya.
Upendra Tirtha had performed many miracles during his period similar to his guru Sri Madhwacharya. Once, while he was crossing the Holy River Ganges, some Muslim soldiers tried to attack him, but he didn’t get angry and smiled at them. On seeing his shining face, the soldiers were changed their mind, and asked him to apologize them and went back to their place. Similar to that, once he was surrounded by lot of thieves and they tried to kill him, but Sri Upendra Swamy raised his hands and blessed them. Due to that, the thieves were become calm, and they also become his followers. After spending many years in divine service, he attained Samadhi at Udupi.
Let us worship the great saint and be blessed.
