Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri

Important Announcement pertaining to 
Sringeri Math participation in Pran-Pratishtha at Ayodhya

January 18, 2024

As per the directive of Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sharada Peethadheeshwara His Holiness Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, the CEO and Administrator of Sringeri Math, Sri VR Gowrishankar will represent the Peetham in the Prana-pratishtha event on January 22, 2024 at sacred Ayodhya.

The Sringeri Math reiterates the appeal made in the earlier announcement dated January 8, 2024 to only note information made available through our official website and social media platforms.

Republic World has published an article dated January 18, 2024 titled “Sringeri Math Shankaracharya to Attend Ram Mandir Pran Pratistha”. The  wrong information conveyed in the article must be immediately rectified.

This article has wrongly referred to the Kudali Math as the Sringeri Math, used a photograph of the Sringeri Shankaracharya of Sringeri Math and is misleading the public that the Shankaracharya of Sringeri Math will be attending the Ayodhya event.

It has to be noted that the Kudali Math located near Shivamogga is neither the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham nor is it referred to as Sringeri Math. It is rather only an independently-functioning branch Math of the Sringeri Math.

The media is requested to avoid such lapses and not mislead the public.

As instructed by the Shankaracharya of Sringeri Math, all Astikas are requested to perform Japa of Rama Taraka Mantra and chant the Rama Bhujanga Stotra composed by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya and be a recipient of Bhagavan Sri Ramachandra’s grace on this sacred occasion.


 
  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
