Early Life
His Holiness Sri Sri Sujayeendra Teertha Swamiji (1963-1986) was always known to foster knowledge and knowledge seekers. He was fond of Vedic Literature and always encouraged his younger son, Pandita Kesari and Mahamopadyaya Vidwan Raja S. Giri Acharya to learn the Shastras & to gain Vedic Wisdom.

GiriAcharya’s Wife Smt. Manjula Bai, gave birth to a son, Sri Raja S. Pavamanachar.

GiriAcharya and his wife Smt Manjulabai, brought up Sri Raja S. Pavamanacharya to respect Vedic knowledge and instilled a great sense of respect and interest in the shastras and Vedas. They guided him to upkeep Vedic tradition and study Sanskrit and Vedas as his pathway.
Noticing the keenness and grasping power of the young child, H H Sri Sujayeendra Teertha taught Sri Raja Pavamacharya, stotras and Kavyas. Learning Kannada, Telugu, Sanskrit and English during 12 years of Vedic education at Mantralaya’s Sri Gurusarvabhouma Sanskrit Vidyapeetha, Sri Raja S. Pavamanacharya learnt Dvaita Vedanta from his father Vidwan Raja S. Giri Acharya and Nyayashastra from renowned scholar Vidwan Goda Subrahmanya Shastri. He also completed Mimamsa Shastra education from Vidwan Sri Bala Subrahmanya Shastri and Vidwan Sri Peri Surya NarayanaShastri taught him Vyakarana Shastra.
Thus growing up under the tutelage of his Poorvashrama grandfather and Poorvashrama father, Sri Raja S. Pavamanacharya grew accustomed to the traditions and the mutt and also familiarised himself with Mantralayam and its surroundings. He was immensely interested in and whole-heartedly took part in, all activities and functions of the mutt from a very young age.
