Early life
Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Swami was born as Kuppa Venkateshwara Prasada Sharma on July 24, 1993 at Tirupati and is a native of Anantavaram, Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. He took his first lessons in Yajur Vedam from his paternal grandfather Sri Kuppa Ramagopala Vajapeyayaaji and later from his father Sri Kuppa Shivasubrahmanya Avadhani. He then continued his studies under the Sringeri Jagadguru, Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji.
Pontificate
Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Swamiji was named as the successor to Sri Bharati Tirtha during the Sishya Sweekara ceremony held on Jan 23, 2015 at Sringeri.
Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Swamiji wanted to name him after Sri Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Swamiji (Chandrasekhara Bharati III), His Paramaguru. However, since it would be inappropriate to call the name of His Paramaguru when He calls His disciple, He chose a synonym Sri Sri Vidhusekhara (Vidhu = Chandra = Moon) as told by the Mahaswamiji Himself.
