Background

Bharatavarsha or Bharat called India at present was a treasure of knowledge, research and development in myriad disciplines for centuries

Philosophy, Linguistics and literature were only few of them . These disciplines received a huge encouragement from religious institutions of this country all the time. Sri Vyasaraja Mutt (Sosale) is one such institutions of South India; Sri Vyasateertha was the pontiff of this mutt during the golden age of Vijayanagara during the 15th Century.

Sri Vyasateertha was a scholar of very high order in many disciplines of Vedanta studies. He was the Rajaguru of Sri Krishnadeva Raya, he himself worshipped Lord Srinivasa at Tirupathi for 12 years , he patronized a large number of scholars and students who pursued, Veda, Vedanta, Vyakarana , Alankara, Mimamsa, Nyaya, Tantra , Kavya and many other disciplines.

Sri Srinivasa Teertha, Sri Vijayeendra Teertha and Sri Vadiraja Teertha, Sri Purandara Dasa were amongst his disciples. This Academic Grandeur of Sri Vyasateertha , which was upheld with the same tenacity by many of his successors like Kambalur Ramachandra Teertha , Seshachandrika Teertha, Bhashyadeepikaacharyaru, Laxminatha Teertha among other saw a gradual decline over generations as various such institutions in our country did.
