Rāghavēndra Swami or Rāghavēndra Tirtha (c.1595–c.1671) was a Dvaita scholar, grammarian and the pontiff of the Madhvacharya Mutt at Kumbakonam from 1624 to 1671. [1] His diverse oeuvre consists of illuminating commentaries on the works of Madhva, Jayatirtha and Vyasatirtha, interpretation of the Principal Upanishads from the standpoint of Dvaita and a treatise on Purva Mimamsa. An accomplished player of the Veena, he composed several songs under the name of Venu Gopala and significantly bolstered the Haridasa movement. [2] His gentle nature and humanism is brought out through devotional poems composed in his honour by Vijaya Dasa, Gopala Dasa and Jagannatha Dasa and his biography, Raghavendra Vijaya, by his nephew Narayana. [3] Widely regarded as a saint, he enjoys enduring popularity to this day with his Brindavana (tomb) at Mantralaya attracting thousands of visitors every year.
