About Ruju Yogi Foundation
Some sacred spaces begin with a plan. Ours began with a swapna — a quiet, repeated dream that became a living temple of bhakti, daily seva, and Gau Raksha in Thinakallu, Karnataka.

Our origin
From a swapna to a temple
The dream returned — again and again — with clearer details: nirmālya, abhisheka, and a sense that this was not symbolism, but seva.
At Pavana Vatika Orchards, Shri Lakshman Srikanth D — a spiritual soul rooted in the Dvaita tradition — began experiencing a vivid vision of performing pooja 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 persisted, tradition taught the next step: seek guidance.

The swapna
At Pavana Vatika Orchards in Thinakallu, Shri Lakshman Srikanth D received a repeated vision of performing pooja to Bhāvi Sameera Śrī Vādirajaru and Prāṇa Devaru in the orchard itself.

Guru’s guidance
When the dream returned with nirmālya, abhisheka, and a sense of seva, he sought guidance from his Guru, Śrī Kurnool Srinivasacharya.

Blessings of Sode Matha
With his father he travelled to Sode and placed the matter at the feet of Śrī 1008 Vishwavallabha Tīrtharu. A personal message became a collective purpose.

Pratiṣṭhā
With the blessings of Shri 1008 Vishwottama Teertharu and Shri 1008 Vishwavallabha Teertha Swamigalu, the consecration took place on 4 June 2025.
A temple born from blessings
Bhāvi Sāmēra Vādirāja Mandira
With the blessings of the Sode Matha lineage and the grace of Bhāvi Sameera Śrī Vādirajaru, the consecration on 4 June 2025 established a living home for daily worship, festivals, chanting, and discourse.
This is not a monument to a private vision. It is a framework of authentic bhakti and sādhana — accessible, consistent, and rooted in paramparā — where devotees gather for Hayagrīva and Ugra Narasimha festivals, Dāsara Padagalu, and seva.

The name we carry
Why “Ruju Yogi”?
In Dvaita understanding, Ruju Yogis are exceptionally pure souls — devotees whose surrender and steadiness point directly to Śrī Hari. The Foundation exists to preserve and practise that spirit: worship as structured inner discipline, not an occasional ritual.
Our approach
Bimba–Pratibimba Chintane
A way of understanding the relationship between the Supreme (Bimba Moorti) and the soul (Pratibimba), inspired by the teachings and granthas of our tradition. Seekers practise Bimba Pooje rooted in Madhvacharya’s dualistic vision.
Daily life
Devotion as conduct
Here, devotion is not treated as an emotion alone, but as conscious surrender of mind, intention, and daily conduct — through Bimba Pooje, scripture-led contemplation, and community practice including Dāsara Padagalu.
Seva that protects dharma
Gau Shala beside the mandira
Our dharma is not limited to the sanctum. The Foundation nurtures indigenous Desi cows with daily Gau Pooja, orchard shade, and compassionate care — supported by devotees through Gau Seva and Gau Dāna.
