Concerning its history their website states: "In the true tradition of Guru Parampara, the lineage of preeminent preceptors, Sri Sri Sri Satchidānandendra Saraswati Swamy of Holenarasipura, Hassan district, Karnataka, ordered the transport of the following spiritual and devotional inventory – received as spiritual inheritance from his Guru Parampara and dating back to circa 600 AD – to establish a Peetham dedicated to Hindu Dharma in general and to Advaita Vedanta in specific at Chinamushidivada, Visakhapatnam. This inventory included, inter alia, the ceremonial idol (Utsava Vigraha) of Goddess Sri Sarada Swaroopa Rajasyamala, a quartz Siva Linga of Sri Chandramouliswara Swamy, an emerald Siva Linga, a śālagrām (a sacred stone worshipped by the devotees and supposed to be pervaded by the presence of Lord Vishnu), Sri Narasimha Swamy idol, and Sri Chakra. Sri Swaroopanandendra Saraswati Swamy established Visakha Sri Sarada Peetham using this spiritual paraphernalia." In Sri Vidya the deity of Raja Shyamala Devi is the minister of Tripura Sundari and ruler of the heart. She is the symbolic of the Crown, being at the summit of all the deities found at this complex: [3]
