Collapse of Brahmamgaru’s Residence: Potuluri Veerabrahmendra Swami’s Historic Home Crumbles Under Montha Cyclone Rains

Kadapa, October 30, 2025 – In Brahmamgarimatham, YSR Kadapa district, the sacred residence where Potuluri Veerabrahmendra Swami (affectionately known as Brahmamgaru) once lived—a structure steeped in over 400 years of history—has tragically collapsed under the relentless downpours from the Montha cyclone. This devastating event has ignited waves of grief among devotees worldwide, coupled with fierce anger directed at local authorities and the matham’s successors for neglecting the preservation of this irreplaceable historic site.

What Happened? Montha Cyclone Rains Devastate a 16th-Century Legacy

Though the Montha cyclone made landfall along the Andhra Pradesh coast, its fury unleashed unyielding rains across Kadapa district for 2–3 grueling days. On Wednesday night, the ancient residence of Veerabrahmendra Swami in Brahmamgarimatham succumbed entirely, crumbling into ruins. Dating back to the 16th–17th centuries, officials attribute the collapse to the building’s severely dilapidated condition and long-overdue lack of maintenance. This home, said to have been personally constructed by the Swami himself, now lies in heaps of debris.

Brahmamgarimatham holds profound spiritual significance as the site of Swami’s living samadhi. It is here that he penned his timeless Kaala Gnaana scriptures, drawing pilgrims from every corner of the globe for darshan and solace.
