Bhagavan Sri Golagamudi Venkayya Swamy Mandiram is located at about 15 km from Nellore in the Venkatachalam mandal. A Sage called Venkaiah lived here during middle of the 20th century and attained Mahasamadhi at this place.

People worship him as Venkaiah Swamy or Baghavan Venkaiah Swamy. Every Saturday there is a gathering to worship the Swamy and during August every year "Aradhana" or annual function is celebrated.

Sri Swamy demised on August, 24th 1982 at Golagamudi.Every year Aradhana festival is celebrating on this day.Now a 5 day Aradhana uthsavams are celebrating and performing Aswavahan seva,Gaja vahana seva, Garuda seva,Sesha vaahana seva, Radhoithsavam, Theppothsavaam and lakhs of devotees are attending on all these days.

Bhagavaan Sri Venkaiah Swamy of Golagamudi Is one such foremost saint and Sadguru of modern India, who lived up to 24th August 1982.

Even though we have not seen Sri Ramana Maharshi and Sai Baba of Shirdi, we are fortunate enough to see Swamyji who lived up to 1982. Very tactfully he concealed his spiritual powers till the day of his Maha samadhi. He shunned the unnecessary publicity.

Only after his Maha samadhi, devotees ventured to reveal their experience with one another and enjoy the thrill of it.


Pooja Schedule: 

Morning Abhisekam: Early morning every day at around 4 30 AM there will be an Abhisekam to Sri Swamy and his Samadhi. After Abhishekam Devotees are allowed to pay respects to Swami's Samadhi. The water which is used for abhishekam of Samadhi is given theertham(Holy Water) to all devotees. That theertham cures all the ailments of the Devotees.
