About

Some sacred spaces begin with a plan. Ours began with a swapna — a quiet, repeated dream that refused to be dismissed as “just a good sign.”

A
t Pavana Vatika Orchards in Thinakallu village near Chintamani, Karnataka, Shri Lakshman Srikanth D—a spiritual soul rooted in Dvaita tradition—began experiencing a vivid, unmistakable vision/swapna:
he was performing pooje to Bhāvi Sameera Śrī Vādirajaru and Prāṇa Devaru right there in the orchard. He ignored it at first, as most of us would.

When the swapna repeated over several weeks, Shri Srikanth did what tradition teaches us to do: seek guidance.
He approached his Guru, Śrī Kurnool Srinivasacharya, who advised him to meet Śrī 1008 Vishwavallabha Tīrtharu, the Swamiji of Sode Matha.
Shri Srikanth and his father travelled to Sode, shared the experience in humility, and placed the entire matter at the feet of the Matha—asking only for clarity and direction.

From that point onwards, what felt like a personal spiritual message began to unfold into a collective purpose. Under the blessings of the Swamiji and through the guidance of the lineage,
the decision was taken to establish a temple that would hold not only daily worship, but a living framework of Dvaita bhakti and sādhana—accessible, consistent, and rooted in authentic tradition.

With the blessings of Shri 1008 Vishwottama Teertharu & Shri 1008 Vishwavallabha Teertha Swamigalu and the grace of Bhāvi Sameera Śrī Vādirajaru,
the consecration (pratiṣṭhā) took place on June 4, 2025.

The sacred presence installed here includes Śrī Hayagrīva Devaru, Ugra Narasimha Devaru, Prāṇa Devaru, Vādirajaru, and Bhūta Rājaru,
along with the revered Mṛttikā Pañcha Vṛndāvana connected to Vādirajaru and the blessings of revered saints in the paramparā.

At the heart of the Ruju Yogi Foundation stands the Bhāvi Sāmēra Vādirāja Temple, where worship and festivals honour Śrī Hayagrīva and Ugra Narasimha,
and devotees gather for chanting, discourses, and service.

The temple also honours Ghatikāchala Prāṇa Devaru and the protective grace of Bhūta Rājaru & Rudra Devaru, who are revered as guardians of sacred boundaries.

In Dvaita understanding, Ruju Yogis are spoken of as exceptionally pure souls—devotees whose surrender and steadiness point directly to Śrī Hari.
The Ruju Yogi Foundation exists to preserve and practise this spirit of unwavering devotion—by turning worship into a structured inner discipline, not an occasional ritual.
