Building the Abode of Sri Guru Raghavendra
For years, the Rayara community in Chicago has dreamed of a permanent spiritual home. Today, that dream is taking shape. We are embarking on a historic journey to construct the Rayara Brundhavana.
The Event: A Divine Musical Evening
To celebrate this milestone and accelerate our fundraising, we are proud to present a grand vocal concert by the renowned Spoorthi Rao.
In moments of despair, turning to Rayaru has always brought me peace.
"True Rayara devotion leads to miraculous changes in life."
" Rayaru is everywhere; his blessings transcend distance.. "
What sets us apart?
As an official branch of Sri Raghavendra Swamy Matha, Mantralaya, we adhere to Dvaita Vedanta by placing a strong emphasis on practical applications of Madhwacharya's teachings in daily life. This includes a focus on devotion (bhakti) and service (seva), which are integral to Raghavendra Swamy's teachings.
Matha Renovations
We purchased the current matha building in June of 2023. We started on rezoning and renovation permit process and got the rezoning approved in March '24. The permit approved - September '24.
Renovations are in progress now.
