Founder's Day, Chaitra Bahula Dwadashi. 22-4-09

Founder's Day


Sri G. Venkannaiah's Jayanthi

Poojya Sri G. Venkannaiah (1883-1969), had a vision of Sri Brahmachaithanya Maharaj who called him to Gondavale. Venkannaiah who had neither seen nor heard of Sri Brahmachaithanya Maharaj or Gondavale, wondered how to reach him. However, it was Maharaj's Grace which made him meet a Yogi, Sri Rangachar, who after a yogic meditation, found out that the saint Sri Venkannaiah met in his vision, was Sri Brahmachaithanya Maharaj of Gondavale.He also told him how to reach it.The two devotees went to Gondavale with in a week.Sri Maharaj had told his desciples there that he was expecting two devotees from a far off place, and he cancelled his scheduled visit to some place on that day to receive the two . Sri G.Venkannaiah, was very happy to meet Sri Maharaj. Next morning he was initiated by Sri Maharaj to Taraka Nama and asked him to do the following:

1) Do namasmarana without break.2) Spread or Propogate Rama-nama.3) Construct a small Mandir (Of Sri Rama) 4) Carry on Upasana.

One month after they returned to Chikkanaayakana halli, Sri G.Venkannaiah received the sad news that Sri Maharaj has left his mortal coil. He went to Gondavale and attended the ceremonies.

As per the order of Sri Maharaj, Sri Venkannaiah was doing Namasmarana and Japanushan, propagating Rama-Nam as much as he could. But as he was in a Government Job, and was transferred to different places, he could not construct the Rama Mandir, earlier. Finally, when he was transferred to Chintamani, he bought a site for the Mandir, and the foundation stone was laid by Sri Kundagol Narayanappa Maharaj, in the year 1939. The marble idols of Sri Brahmachaithanya Maharaj, Sri Ram, Lakshman,Sita Devi and Hanuman, were installed in the Holy presence of Tatya Saheb Ketkar Maharaj, and Kundagol Naryanappa Maharaj on 13th June 1949.
Sri Venkannaiah was a source of inspiration for many devotees. His Jayanthi was celebrated with Japanusthan and a lecture by Sri B. Sree Rama Murthy, and Maha Prasadam.

Sri Ramotsav& 100th birth-day of a Rama Bhaktha











100th Birth-day of Rama Bhaktha Poojya Sri B.S. Ramasheshaiah (1909 - 1996)was celebrated in a unique manner, here, at Chintamani Mandir.

Sri Ramasheshaih was a devotee who did Bhajans continuously for hours. He performed Ramadasi Bhiksha, every Thursday. He  used to start his Bhajans at 7-00 am and  with a Big Ramadasi Bag on his shoulder, went round the town collecting the food grains and coins put voluntarily by philanthropists in to his bag. The grains and coins thus collected were used for the up-keep of the Mandir. He did this with a total surrender and a strong dedication.




His Son, Sri B.C. Prasad, Chairman of Chaithanya Projects, a real estate developers and builders, with his children and a large number of relatives and friends went round the streets with Bhajans and did carry out Ramadasi Bhiksha, in memory of his father. It was highly emotional and devotional. The day long celebration was packed with programmes like lectures by Aralu Mallige Parthasarathy, Swami Namadevanada swamiji, and Bhajans by Vinay Bhagavathar and party.
