​Inception:

NE Sri Raghavendra Swamy Brundavan was launched in 2016 as the first US branch of the Mantralayam Shri Raghavendra Swami Matha. Within months, this registered non-profit organization organized the first and biggest Raghavendra Swamy Aradhana celebration in the Boston area with over 400 attendees. Mantralayam Swamiji sent Raghavendra Swamy Padukas not just for this event but as a symbol of Raghavendra Swamy until the community was ready for a Mrittike Brundavan. This event and all events organized since then by NE Sri Raghavendra Swamy Brundavan have been completely community powered on all aspects and the Rayarhood has grown event to event.
