Sri Sushameendra Bhajana Mandali, named in honour of His Holiness Sri Sushameendra Theertharu, is the devotional and cultural wing of our Mutt. It was formed with the divine blessings of Guru Rayaru and Mathaji Ulsooramma, whose life was deeply rooted in naama smarana and seva.

The Mandali leads bhajans, namasankeertana, and haridasa compositions during all major events, including Rayaru Aradhana, and special poojas, as well as during weekly satsangs on Thursdays held at the Mutt. The group actively fosters devotional participation among all age groups, especially encouraging young learners.

In addition to internal celebrations, the Mandali regularly represents our Mutt at external events — including those conducted by TTD, Madhwa Mutts, and Bhajana Sammelanas, on invitation.

Many of its dedicated members are also serious students of classical devotional literature and music, pursuing deep academic learning at institutions such as:

Hayavadhana Vidyalaya

Sourabha Dasa Sahitya Vidyalaya, and others.

“Nāma saṅkīrtanam is not just music — it is śravaṇa, manana, and nididhyāsana of the divine, leading the soul from sound (nāda) to silence (mouna), and ultimately to mokṣa.”
