Sri Rama Samartha
Gondavalekar Sadguru Shri Brahmachaitanya Maharaj
Malligere is a small place near Chkkanayakana halli. Now it is well known that Shri Maharaj gave darshan to Shri G.Venkannaiah here, calling him to Gondavali. Shri Venkannaiah, a young man of 26 then, who was on the service in the then Mysore Government in public works department supervising the construction of tank in Malligere was mesmerized by the personality of the Divine person, and went to Gondavale.( How he understood what the word gondavalyaave meant and where was Gondavale, are mentioned in detail elsewhere in this blog). Now some local people of Malligere have identified the place where Shri Maharaj stood on the ground, They have erected a small sthoopa and Shila padukas at the place.
Now Maharaj's devotees of Tiptur have arranged a padayathra (Pilgrimage by walk) on 19th and 20th of August 2012, to Malligere. They have sent an invitation which is published here below.
