Panditaratnam Gowdagere Venkataramanacharya- One of the Greatest Scholars of all time
He was born in the year 1855, to the Couple namely, Sri Vasudevacharya and Smt Janakamma, in a traditional Shashtika family, which was well known as Mahidhara(Bettada).
At the time when the great Sri Vyasaraja was performing pooja to Lord Venkateshwara at Tirumala, the ancestors of this family served him devotedly.
Therefore the name Bettada (hill) was attached to this family. Srikrishnadevaraya of Vijayayanagar had donated a village called Gowra-pura (now known as Gowdagere) to Sri Vyasaraja,a part of which in turn was given with blessings to this family by the benevolent Sri Vyasarajaru.
