VALLABHACHARYA

VALLABHACHARYA lived about found hundred years ago. His parents had their home at a place called Champaranya. His father was Lakshmana Bhatta and his mother Ilamma. They were Telugu Brahmins.

For several generations, the family of Lakshmana Bhatta had been performing Soma Yaga, a kind of sacrifice to God.

When a family performs a hundred such Yagas, they say God himself takes birth in that family.

At the end of the hundredth Soma Yaga, the parents went to Kasi to feed a lakh of Brahmins. On the way Vallabha was born. So every one said that Agni or the Fire- God Himself came to be born as Vallabha.

After taking the sacred thread, Vallabha studied the Vedas and Sastras at Kasi for twelve years under a teacher named Madhavendra.

God came to Vallabha in a dream and asked him to marry.
