Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri

New temple for Goddess Sharada in Kashmir

Sringeri February 3, 2022

It is well-known that Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya consecrated Goddess Sharada at Sringeri while establishing the Dakshinamnaya Peetham and towards the end of His Digvijaya Yatra, ascended the Sarvajna Peetham of Goddess Sharada at Kashmir.

Goddess Sharada has been revered in Kashmir since time immemorial and is referred to by the epithet, “Kaashmira-pura-vaasini”. 

On February 3, 2022, Sri Ravinder Pandita of Sharada Yatra ( Sarvajna Peeth) Temple Committee, Kashmir had Darshan of Sringeri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam and Jagadguru Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam, and received blessings for the construction of a new Goddess Sharada temple at the town of Teetwal near the LoC in Kashmir. Teetwal on the banks of the Kishanganga river was traditionally one of the places from which the annual Yatra to the Sarvajna Peetham of Goddess Sharadamba in Kashmir would commence.

While having the Darshan of the Sringeri Jagadgurus, Sri Ravinder Pandita made a Samarpanam of two stones and holy sand from the ancient structure of the Sarvajna Peetham in Kashmir. Jagadguru Sri Mahasannidhanam blessed him with one of the stones and showered His benign blessings on the Committee for the construction of the new Sharada temple at Teetwal. 

Sringeri Math CEO, Sri VR Gowrishankar conveyed that the Sringeri Math will offer full support to the noble initiative of the temple construction at Teetwal and offer a new Panchaloha Vigraha of Goddess Sharada for the installation. 

 
  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara

  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
