Appeal

As some of you are aware, Sri Jitamitra Tirthara Sannidana Katte location is in the middle of Krishna & Bheema rivers. It is kind of an Island, popularly known as Sri Jitamitra Gadde. Sri Jitamitraru has told his devotees (bhaktas) to offer prayers and worship the "Gonada Tree" where he is living. This Gonada Tree also known as Knowledge Tree is in the Gadde (Island). Aradhane is being conducted every year at the Gadde organized by Sri Jitamitra Descendents (Vamshastaru) Dr  Jitendra Shivpur & Sri Venkatesh Shivapur families. Aradhane will be conducted at the  Sannidana Katte on Margashira masa Krishna Paksha Amavasya every year.

In the recent years, due to floods in Bhima and Krishna rivers the Sri Jitamitra Tirthara Sannidana Katte was at the risk of being ruined for ever. In the year 2001 -2002 several devotees headed by H.H. 108 Sri Sushameendra Teertha Swamiji  (Peethadhipathi of Sri Raghavendra Swamy Matha, Mantralaya) and Late Shri Shivapur Ramarao ( Direct descendent of Sri Jitamitra Tirtha) took the initiative and built a stone wall on one side of Gadde to prevent the waters from ruining it. This work costed about 13 lakhs and it was made possible within a short span of few months due to the leadership and financial support from Sri Padaputra Sri Raja S Rajagopalachar, personal secretary to H.H. 108 Sri Sushameendra Teertha Swamiji. Under the supervision of Sri Krishna Desai this work has been completed without having any manpower problem.

Sri Jitamitra Tirthara Sannidana Katte can be further secured by constructing a flood wall on the other side of Gadde. We need to do this urgently to preserve the place for future generations. These are very rare, sacred place,  and it is our primary responsibility to do everything we can, to save such places for future generations to cherish.

We request you to generously contribute towards this noble cause of constructing the flood wall to protect Sri Jitamitra Tirthara Gadde. Thank You.
