Mantra and the Sadhana. It insists on absolute faith in the Guru, who offers a Manthra to the devotees and expects them to do Sadhana on the Manthra to attain spiritual elevation. No distinction of class, caste, creed, religion or sex is made. Membership Anybody is free to enter the ashram and do his or her sadhana and can become a member of this peetham. This peetham has the intention of propagating dharma and endeavouring to draw out the divine qualities in man. Anyone who joins the peetham is free to adopt or follow their own religion, customs and traditions, or hold whichever personal views they wish, with no need for any sort of conversion. Leadership The spiritual leaders of the peetham are known as Peethadhipathis. Madin Kabir Sha was the first Peethadhipathi to come to Pithapuram and establish this spiritual organisation. He was a disciple of Abdul-Qadir Gilani (Phirane Pir), claimed to be the descendant and spiritual successor of Islamic prophet Muhammad. He had followed the preaching of his master, performed great penance and accomplished in it. He had number of disciples. It is said that his disciples had requested him to display a miracle in testimony of his divine power; they brought several cartloads of firewood, made a big pyre at the heart of the town and asked their Madin Kabir Sha to sit on it. He is said to have lain on the fire for about 24 hours comfortably, remaining unhurt. His ancestors had traveled from Baghdad to Persia, from there to Delhi, then to Hyderabad and then to Pithapuram. Madharsha Sathguru succeeded the peetham as the second peethadhipathi. Sri Hasan Miya Sha Sathguru succeeded the peetham as the third peethadhipathi. Kahenesha Vali succeeded as the Fourth Peethadhipathi. It is said that when he was about five years old his father, Sri Hasan Miya Sha, left his body and synthesized in cosmic eternity, so Kahenesha Vali was initiated by Sri Akhail- Ali- Sha Sathguru with the Mahamantra. Then with his master’s blessing He took over the lordship of the Peetham and became master to many disciples. Since then Sri Akhail- Ali- Sha Sathguru has been known as Vamsa Guru (The Preceptor of the Great master's Lineage). His monastery is in Tuni. At present there is an ashram there. The land was allotted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh to establish this peetham branch near the monastery. Kahenesha
