In Kaliyuga, SanghuKarna devatha was born again to service Lord Narayana. He was born to a great Veena scholor Thimmana Bhattar and Srimathi Goppikamba as a second son through the blessing of Lord
Thirupathi Venkatachalapathi on Thursday of Phalguna (panguni) month on Mirugashirisha natchathiram in the year 1592 at Bhuvanagiri which is close to Chiambaram in Tamilnadu.
Before going to this details, lets see the parambara of Thimmanabhattar. Baghavan Guru Raghavendra swamy family was skilled in music and litrary. Thimmana bhattar's father Sri Kanakachala bhattar lived in vijayanagar kingdom and was very efficient in literature and sasthras. His father , great grand father of Guru
Baghavan Raghavendra swamy is krishnabhattar is an expert in veena and he tutored king krishnadevaraya of vijayanagara kingdom. So the entire family and parampara of Guru Raghavendra swamy were will scholored in music, literature and sasthras. The family gothra is gouthama kothara.
Since the family was very expert in music and close to kingdom, they had a very good life in vijayanagara kingdom. Sri Thimmana bhattar was married to srimathi Gopikamba and they were blessed with a son named Sri Guru rajar. Sri Thimmana bhattar brought up his elder son and taught him right sasthras and music. Later they were blessed with a daughter named Venkatamba.
This was the time when vijayanagara kingdom was coming down in 1595 when temples and other places were looted. Learned scholors and pandits were leaving the kingdom towards south where they would get
right recognition and Sri Thimmana Bhattar also moved along with them with his family and children leaving all their wealth and property. Sri Thimmana bhattar travelled down the south. During early days
Vijayanagara kingdom was expanded down south of tamilnadu and they had representatives in tamilnadu who were manging the places with the control of Vijayanagara kingdom. One of them were Gingee Nayakar
kingdom who were managing the few places in tamilnadu between 15th and 16th century. When Vijayanagara kingdom was falling down they declared themself as an independent kingdom. The origins of this kingdom were beleived to me migrated from Vijayanagara kingdom. So when Thimmana Bhattar thought to move down south, he went down and settled in this Gingee Nayakar kingdom in a place called Bhuvanagiri in Tamilnadu which is close to Chidambaram.
At the right age, Sri Thimmana married Venkatamba to a scholor Sri Narashimarchar from Madurai, who is expect in sasthras and literature. Also around that time, Sri Thimmana bhattar sent Guru rajar to gurukulam to learn sasthras.
Sri Thimmana Bhattar wanted to have a son who would follow him and learn Veena. Also Guru rajar was in gurukulam and daughter has been married, both Sri Thimmana Bhattar and Srimathi Gopikamba wanted another son. They made a pilgrimage to Thirupathi to get the blessings of Lord Venkateswara. Once they returned from Thirupathi, they were blessed with a beautiful son and named him as Venkatanathan.
Venkatanatha was growing like every other kid in the city but he has an eternal appearance and everyone were attracted towards Venkatanathan.
Sri Thimmana started to teach Veena to Sri Venkatanathan and at around 8 years of age, Sri Thimmana bhattar did upanayanam go Sri Venkatanathan as per Madhawa rituals
