(10) Hindu Raju Kshatriyas
N. Nagaraju, who is a highly devout Hindu, belongs to Raju Kshatriya Caste, also known as Raju Rajput Anegondi Aravidu Chagi Chedi Chalukya-Chola Eastern-Chalukya Gajapati Kakatiya Kosala Kota Paricheda Poosapati Gajapati Saluva Solanki Varnata Varanataka Vishnukundina Kshatriya Caste.
Raju Kshatriyas are related to the Rajput Kshatriyas, including Sisodia Rajputs, of Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha and other states of North India and Nepal and the Solankis of Gujarat.
Raju Kshatriyas are found in large numbers in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Raju Kshatriyas are Sri Vaishnavas. They wear the sacred thread and follow the customs of Brahmins. Some of the Gotras of Raju Saluva Kshatriyas are Angirasa, Atreya, Brihaspati, Bharadwaja, Gargya, Dhanunjaya, Kashyspa, Kaushika, Koundinya, Pasupati, Vasishta and Vishwamitra.
Rajus Kshatriyas are Sri Vaishnava Brahmin Kshatriyas or Brahma Kshatriyas. Mohinder Singh Randhawa and Indian Council of Agricultural Research, in their book, Farmers of India: Madras, Andhra Pradesh, Mysore and Kerala, Volume 2, Published by Indian Council of Agricultural Research in 1961 say: "The generic term Raju indicating Kshatriya caste was appended to personal names of Brahmanas who were employed in the royal court during the period of Eastern Gangas. Eg. Lakshmaraju, Kramaraju."
Raju Kshatriyas are divided into three dynasties or three clans or three vamshams. They are (1) Solar Dynasty or Surya Vamsham Rajus (2) Lunar Dynasty or Chandra Vamsham Rajus and (3) Wind Dynasty or Hanuma Vamsham Rajus.
Surya Vamsham Rajus trace their lineage to Vishnu, Brahma, Surya, Ikshvaku, Raghu, Aja, Dasharatha, Rama, other Kings of Ayodhya and the Kings of Oudh.
Chandra Vamsham Rajus trace their origin to Vishnu, Brahma, Chandra, Budha, Pururavas, Pratipa, Shantanu, Bhishma, Chitrangada, Vichitravirya, Parashara, Vyasa, Dhritarashtra, Pandu, Vidura, Kauravas and Pandavas.
Hanuma Vamsham Rajus are also known as Vayu Vamsham Rajus. They trace their origin to Vishnu, Brahma, Vayudeva, Angiras, Brihaspati, Kesari and Hanuman and his wife. Hanuman is known by several names, including Vayu Putra, Pavana Putra, Anjana Putra, Kesari Putra, Vayunandan, Marutinandan, Maruti, Ramamitra, Sankatmochan, Sitarakshak, Thimmaraya, Mahavira, Bajrangbali, Anjaneya and Hanuman.
Hanuman is mentioned in both Valmiki Ramayana and Vyasa Mahabharata. Vedas mention Hanuman at many places. Rigveda refers to Hanuman as Vrishakapi or Tree Monkey. Several Hindu texts describe Hanuman as an incarnation or avatara of God Shiva. Divakrsnadasa, in his 17th century Odia work Rasavinoda, mentions that the three Hindu Gods - Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva merged themselves into Hanuman Mahadeva.
Rama held Hanuman in highest esteem and had greatest admiration for him. He described the great qualities of Hanuman in great detail in the third chapter of Kishkindha Kaanda of Valmiki Ramayana. According to Rama, Hanuman knew all the Vedas and Scriptures, possessed faultless speech and impeccable facial features, made the best sentences and excelled in nine schools of grammar.
One of the Surva Vamsha Kshatriyas is Kosuru Raju Kshatriyas found in Kosuru in Divi Taluk, Movva Mandal, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh. They are descendants of Chola, Chalukya, Chalukya-Chola, Chagi, Eastern Chalukyas, Gajapatis, Ikshvaku, Kota, Paricchedi, Pusapati, Poosapati, Saluva, Varnataka and Vishnukundina Kshatriyas dynasties of India. They worship Sun (Surya Aradhana), Sri Rama and other Incarnations of Sri Vishnu and Tulasi Tree and build Sri Vaishnava Temples. They follow the Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya.
Kosuru Raju Kshatriyas follow Krishna Yajurveda and Apasthamba Sutra. Their Gotra is Koundinya, their Rishi Pravara is Vashishta – Maitra – Koundinya (Srimadvashista Maitravarana Koundinyasa Trayee Rushihi) and their Raja Pravara is Ikshvaku Shibi Muchikunda Adityachola Varnata Rajendrachola (Ikshvaaka Shibi Muchikunda Aadityachola Varnaata Raajendrachola Maharaaja Vamsham). Their Kulaguru (Religious Teacher) is Sri Narasimhacharyulu and their Dharma Peetham (Religious Institution) is Sri Ramanuja Peetham of Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya.
Some of the important Raju Kshatriya ruling dynasties and kingdoms that ruled over Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala were the Saluva Hampi Vijayanagara Dynasty, Chagi, Chedi, Chalukya-Cholas, Eastern Chalukyas, Gajapatis, Kakatiya Kosala, Kota, Paricheda, Poosapati, Solankis, Varnataka and Vishnukundina.
Saluva Dynasty was one of the ruling dynasties of the Vijayanagara Empire which had its capital city at Hampi in South India. This dynasty was founded by the descendants of Saluva Mangala Devaraya, one of the most valiant and most loyal military commanders of Bukka Devaraya I of the Sangama Dynasty of the Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi.
The Vijaya Nagara Empire at Hampi was founded by the two brothers, Sangama Harihara Devaraya I and Sangama Bukka Devaraya I in 1336 at Anegundi in Koppal District, Karnataka State. Hampi was the Capital City of Vijayanagara Empire. Sangama Harihara Devaraya I ruled Vijayanagara Empire from 1336 to 1356 and Bukka Devaraya I ruled from 1356 to 1377.
Harihara Devaraya and Bukka Devaraya, the two brothers belonging to Kuruba and Golla joint ancestry, were treasury officers under Prataparudra Devaraya, the ruler of the Kakatiya Kingdom of Warangal. After the fall of the Kakatiya Kingdom in 1323, Harihara Devaraya and Bukka Devaraya moved to the Hoysala Kingdom and became military officers in the army of Vira Ballala III, the Ruler of Hoysala Kingdom of Dorasamudra, now known as Halebidu.
Harihara Devaraya I became a commander in the Hoysala Kingdom and was appointed by Vira Ballala III to administer the Northern Territories of Hoysala Kingdom of Dorasamudram. Harihara Devaraya and Bukka Devaraya eventually became a part of the Hoysala Ruling Family when the daughter of Harihara Devaraya was given in marriage to Ballala Dandanayaka, a nephew Vira Ballala II, the Ruler of Hoysala Kigndom of Dorasamudra.
The first Vijayanagara Dynasty was the Sangama Dynasty which ruled the Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi from 1336 to 1485. The Second Vijayanagara Dynasty was the Saluva Dynasty, of the Raju Kshatriyas or Raju Saluva Kshatriyas, who are Chandravamsha Rajus. They ruled the Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi from 1485 to 1505. Raju Saluva Kshatriyas are also known as Saluva Kakatiya Gunda Raju Kshatriyas.
Some of the rulers of Kakatiyas of Orugallu, or Warangal, were Gunda Devaraya I, Gunda Devaraya II, Gunda Devaraya III and Gunda Devaraya IV. The father of Sri Saluva Narasimha Devaraya, the most prominent Saluva Kakatiya Raju Kshatrya Emperor of Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi, was Saluva Gunda, the Governor of Chandragiri in Chittoor District under the Sangama Dynasty Emperors of Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi.
The First Saluva Emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi was Sri Saluva Narasimha Devaraya. His father was Sri Saluva Gunda who was the Governor of Chandragiri and his great grand-father was Saluva Sri Mangala Devaraya, who was one of the most valiant and most loyal military commanders of Bukka Devaraya I of the Sangama Dynasty of the Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi.
Sri Saluva Narasimha Devaraya ruled the Vijayanagara Empire for seven years from 1485 to 1491. He was the most famous Saluva Ruler of the Vijayanagara Kingdom at Hampi. He donated large sums of money and gold and silver articles, ornaments and jewelry to and carried out several constructions at Tirumala-Tirupati Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple and Tirumala-Tirupati Sri Venkateshwara Swamy Temple.
Sri Tirumala-Tirupati Sri Periyakoil Kelvi Srimath Koil Kandadai Ramanuja Ayyangar Jeeyangar Iyengar Jiyangar Swami, the greatest Sri Vaishnava Religious Leader of the time, was most venerated by the Vijayanagara Emperor Sri Saluva Narasimha Devaraja. Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple, in particular, received greatest attention, special royal favors, gifts and grants and highest contributions from Vijaya Nagara Emperor Sri Saluva Narasimha Devaraya.
Sri Saluva Narasimha Devaraya and his Raja Guru Sri Tirumala-Tirupati Sri Periyakoil Kelvi Srimath Koil Kandadai Ramanuja Ayyangar Jeeyangar Iyengar Jiyangar Swami worked in close cooperation with each other and took active measures to ennoble, popularize and spread Sri Alwar Bhakti, Sri Andal Bhakti, Sri Anjaneya Bhakti, Sri Govinda Bhakti, Sri Krishna Bhakti, Sri Lakshmi Bhakti, Sri Narasimha Bhakti, Sri Rama Bhakti, Sri Satanana Bhakti and Sri Vishnu Bhakti and Sri Vaishnavism throughout Vijayanagara Kingdom and the rest of Sanatana Bharat India.
After Sri Saluva Narasimha Devaraya, his two sons followed him as the next two Raju Saluva Kshatriya Rulers of Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi. Saluva Sri Thimma Bhupala Devaraya, the son of Sri Saluva Narasimha Devaraya, ruled for just a few months in 1491. Saluva Sri Narasimha Devaraya II, the younger brother of Sri Thimma Bhupala Devaraya, became the Emperor in 1491 and ruled the Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi from 1491 to 1505.

Saluva Narasa, who belongs to this family, was appointed the chief of the region around Tirupati by Vimala Aditya, an Eastern Chalukyan King and he founded a town called Narasapuram. Later, the family became feudatories of Vijayanagar, and had marriage alliances with the Saluva Dynasty Emperors of Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi. They maintained loyalties to the Aravidu Dynasty Emperors of Vijayanagar Empire at Hampit. Around the 16th century, the members of the Karvetinagara Zamindar Family changed their name to Bommaraju retaining Saluva as a title in their names.

(10) Hindu Raju Kshatriyas
N. Nagaraju, who is a highly devout Hindu, belongs to Raju Kshatriya Caste, also known as Raju Rajput Anegondi Aravidu Chagi Chedi Chalukya-Chola Eastern-Chalukya Gajapati Kakatiya Kosala Kota Paricheda Poosapati Gajapati Saluva Solanki Varnata Varanataka Vishnukundina Kshatriya Caste.
Raju Kshatriyas are related to the Rajput Kshatriyas, including Sisodia Rajputs, of Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha and other states of North India and Nepal and the Solankis of Gujarat.
Raju Kshatriyas are found in large numbers in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Raju Kshatriyas are Sri Vaishnavas. They wear the sacred thread and follow the customs of Brahmins. Some of the Gotras of Raju Saluva Kshatriyas are Angirasa, Atreya, Brihaspati, Bharadwaja, Gargya, Dhanunjaya, Kashyspa, Kaushika, Koundinya, Pasupati, Vasishta and Vishwamitra.
Rajus Kshatriyas are Sri Vaishnava Brahmin Kshatriyas or Brahma Kshatriyas. Mohinder Singh Randhawa and Indian Council of Agricultural Research, in their book, Farmers of India: Madras, Andhra Pradesh, Mysore and Kerala, Volume 2, Published by Indian Council of Agricultural Research in 1961 say: "The generic term Raju indicating Kshatriya caste was appended to personal names of Brahmanas who were employed in the royal court during the period of Eastern Gangas. Eg. Lakshmaraju, Kramaraju."
Raju Kshatriyas are divided into three dynasties or three clans or three vamshams. They are (1) Solar Dynasty or Surya Vamsham Rajus (2) Lunar Dynasty or Chandra Vamsham Rajus and (3) Wind Dynasty or Hanuma Vamsham Rajus.
Surya Vamsham Rajus trace their lineage to Vishnu, Brahma, Surya, Ikshvaku, Raghu, Aja, Dasharatha, Rama, other Kings of Ayodhya and the Kings of Oudh.
Chandra Vamsham Rajus trace their origin to Vishnu, Brahma, Chandra, Budha, Pururavas, Pratipa, Shantanu, Bhishma, Chitrangada, Vichitravirya, Parashara, Vyasa, Dhritarashtra, Pandu, Vidura, Kauravas and Pandavas.
Hanuma Vamsham Rajus are also known as Vayu Vamsham Rajus. They trace their origin to Vishnu, Brahma, Vayudeva, Angiras, Brihaspati, Kesari and Hanuman and his wife. Hanuman is known by several names, including Vayu Putra, Pavana Putra, Anjana Putra, Kesari Putra, Vayunandan, Marutinandan, Maruti, Ramamitra, Sankatmochan, Sitarakshak, Thimmaraya, Mahavira, Bajrangbali, Anjaneya and Hanuman.
Hanuman is mentioned in both Valmiki Ramayana and Vyasa Mahabharata. Vedas mention Hanuman at many places. Rigveda refers to Hanuman as Vrishakapi or Tree Monkey. Several Hindu texts describe Hanuman as an incarnation or avatara of God Shiva. Divakrsnadasa, in his 17th century Odia work Rasavinoda, mentions that the three Hindu Gods - Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva merged themselves into Hanuman Mahadeva.
Rama held Hanuman in highest esteem and had greatest admiration for him. He described the great qualities of Hanuman in great detail in the third chapter of Kishkindha Kaanda of Valmiki Ramayana. According to Rama, Hanuman knew all the Vedas and Scriptures, possessed faultless speech and impeccable facial features, made the best sentences and excelled in nine schools of grammar.
