History :
Ganeshacharya born in Bharadwaja Gothra was a famous exponent of Sanskrit grammar. Sujnanendratheertha had great affection for him. Therefore the swamiji chose him as his successor and named him ‘Sudharmendratheertha’. He mostly used to stay at Mantralaya. Therefore the king Krishnaraja Wodeyar invited the swamiji several times to visit the capital.
It came as a revelation for the devotees that the swamiji had excellent cognitive powers and had an Amsha of Doorvasa. A devotee was cured of his leprosy with the blessings of the swamiji.
He attained Brindavana at Mantralaya, the sacred place of Sri Gururaja.
