Likewise three great rivers are associated with the southern region. South India is a confluence of the great rivers called Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya and Madhvacharya. Lord Krishna was installed here by Acharya Madhva. Lord Krishna Himself has called upon His Excellency. It is our prayer that you be bestowed with auspiciousness.”
