- May Guru Sri Brahmanya Tirtha shine in the Sky of  our hearts, who is an ardent devotee of Lotus feet of Lord Krishna, who killed Kamsa, like the Sun to brighten my intellect. He is believed as a Suryamsha Sambhoota.

Sri Brahmanya Tirtharu was born as Narasimha to parents who hailed from Kumbhakonam, in Tamilnadu., asper Sri Vyasa teertha vijayam., by Sri Srinivasa Tirtha, Vyasa teertha's disciple.  . He was sent  by his father  Pugavanam Ramacharya to Abburu, on the out skrits of Channapatna,  in Karnataka, for learning  scrptures, where Sri Purushottama Tirtha of Sri Vidyadhiraja  line  (Purvaadi Matha) was meditating in a  nearby cave.
Young Narsimha was given Upanayana Deeksha by the  Swamiji and  later was ordained as his successor under the name of Sri  Brahmanya Tirtha. He was a child prodigy who learnt Shastras very fast.
Some say he was a close relative of Sri Svarnavarna ( Parashurama teertha).  Not much of his personal life is known to us except a  stotra: Brahmanya teertha Vijayam...... He might have taken birth in Tamil Nadu..  Brahmanya Tirtha's works are not found till date. However he was a great Mantrasiddha  and a Yogi. He has many miracles to his credit. His disciples believed him as an avatara of Soorya Deva.  It is said that Sri Vyasa Teertha, as a boy Yatiraja, was born by his grace to his parents..  He chose Yatiraja as his disciple soon after his birth who was later known as giant of Madhva Philosophy, Sri Vyasa Tirtharu.

Sri Brahmanya Tirtha toured India and had Darshan   of Lord Badari Narayana in Himalayas. He cured many of their incurable diseases, by the grace of Sri Hari. it is recordeed that  once he could see  a Vitthala idol in the treasury of Kings of Mysore. by his yoga power., Once during his visit to Mysore,  the King offered him a huge sum of Gold, while  he accepted only Sri Vitthala idol as a gift as  a  devotee. Many of his miracles in curing people, and  more of  his spiritual  fervor r is described by Sri Srinivasa Tirtha, a disciple of Sri Vyasaraja. ( Brahmanya Tirtha Vijaya) 

When  there was a big famine in Mysore Kingdom at his old age,  he helped many poor with whatever he had.. He entered Brindavanam in 1446 at Abburu, now called as Brahmanya Pura also.
