BackGround of Mantralyam

This holy land was sanctified by the performance of a great yagna by Prahlad in Kritayuga. And the legends are heightening it glory with the anecdote that Sri Rama passed this way during his fourteen year Vanavasa. Realising its spiritual potentialities with his antarchakshu,, Raghavendraswamy opted for the then barren and forlorn land, when the Nawab of Adoni offered a Jagir for Swamiji's residence and building of an ashram.
