Sri Venkatanatha proved to be a very brilliant scholar from a very young age who learnt to play the Veena very proficiently thanks to his father and grandfather.
After his father's demise, Venkatanatha was brought up by his brother Sri Gururajacharya and completed the initial portion of his education under his brother-in-law Lakshminarasimhacharya's guidance in Madurai.
