The revered Tridandi Swamiji Maharaj adopted consecration in Vaishnavism from Shri 1008 Swami Ram Krishnacharya ji, the fifth head of the spiritual shrine named Lakshmi Narayan Temple situated in the Charitravan, Buxar. His spiritual preceptor assigned him a new name i.e. Vishwaksenacharya in place of his previous home name ‘Vaidya Nath Chaturvedi’. This very Vishwaksenacharya ji met Shri Kanchi Prativadi Bhayankar Mathadhishwar Gadi Anantacharya Swami who was a well reputed preceptor in every nook and corner of India in 1926 A.D.. Shri Gadi Swami was a great man endowed with astonishing talent. Swami Vishwaksenacharya was instantly overwhelmed to see Shri Gadi Swami ji and so he expressed his keen desire to become a recluse under his guidance. Shri Gadi Swami ji taught him several books containing the knowledge of Nyaya and Vishishtadvaita Vedanta Philosophy. He also made him well acquainted with the teachings of several esoteric scriptures and adept in the scriptural deliberation. After this Shri Gadi Swami became instrumental in making him adopt the Tridanda Sanyas ( Tridanda Asceticism ) from Shri Vadi Kesari Azhagiya Manavala Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami ji and then he (Shri Gadi Swami ji) accepted him as his disciple. Thereafter Shri Vishwaksenacharya ji became Tridandi Swami endowed with excessive dispassion. Now Shri Gadi Swami made him behold the omniscient and all pervading God Sriman Narayana in no time.
