Sadasiva Brahmendra
Sadasiva Brahmendra, a great ascetic, a Brahma jnani lived in 17th century in Tamilnadu. He was a profound Advaita Scholar who renounced the materialistic life at an early age. His compositions
are out-pourings of devotion and philosophy. They elevate us to the realms of spiritual heights.
Inspite of his excellence in the knowledge of the Vedas and other scriptures he used to wander
freely in his own spiritual world. Songs like Pibare Rama rasam, Manasa sancharare, Gayati vanamali etc.
haunt our minds drenching us in Bhakti Rasa.
Mudra:- Parama hamsa.
