Satyatma Tirtha
Indian philosopher
Sri Satyatma Tirtha (IAST: Śrī Satyātma-tīrtha) (born 8 March 1973), is an Indian Hindu philosopher, guru, scholar, spiritual leader, saint and the present pontiff of Uttaradi Math. He is the 42nd pontiff of Uttaradi Math since Madhvacharya, the chief proponent and the one who rejuvenated the Dvaita philosophy (Tattvavada). Satyatma Tirtha founded Vishwa Madhwa Maha Parishat, a non-profit, religious and social organization in 1998.
Early life
He was born in a prominent family of scholars on 8 March 1973 to Pandit Rangacharya Guttal and K.S. Rukmabai in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India and was named Sarvajna (Sarvajnacharya). He was also known as Vidyadhiraja. Pandit Rangacharya is the pūrvāśrama (previous to sannyāsa order) son of Shri Satyapramoda Tīrtha Swamiji.
Sannyasa
Sarvajna became a sannyāsi at the age of 23, directly from brahmacharya at Raghūttama Tīrtha Brundāvana, Tirukoilur (in Tamil Nadu) in the presence of Shri Satyapramoda Tīrtha Swamiji on 24 April 1996 and was renamed as Satyātma Tīrtha. He is also known as Abhinava Raghūttama Tīrtharu since he received sannyasa directly from brahmacharya. Shri Satyātma Tīrtha Swamiji is only the second pontiff of Uttaradi Math to receive sannyāsa from brahmacharya.
Social responsibility
Shri Satyatma Tirtha, through Uttaradi Math, encouraged water harvesting and management expert, the waterman of India and Ramon Magsaysay Award winner Rajendra Singh to give lecture on water conservation and other topics.

Why this record matters
“Satyatma Tirtha” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Satyatma, Tirtha and Indian provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7426941. VIAF identifies the subject as 881156811365845390001. The Library of Congress control number is n2019243240. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1973, 1998 and 1996.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
