Sri Adi Sankara Paramparagatha Moolamnaya Sarvagnya Peetam

Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam

CALENDAR
Khara Samvatsara
Kali Yugam 5113 Shalivahana Shaka 1933
April 14, 2011 ~ April 13, 2012
Sri Adi Sankara, after his Digvijaya Yatras of Bharatvarsha, settled in Mokshapuri Kanchi and es-
tablished the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam in 482 B.C. for himself, as his own Matham. Thus the Great
Sankara Bhagavadpada, the Lord himself, was the first Acharya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam and
from then on until today, an unbroken lineage of Peetadhipathis have adorned this Peetam.
Sankara Bhagavatpada established four “Aamnaya Peetams” in the four corners of Bharatavarsha.
Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, with Adi Sankara as the first Acharya, supervised over the other peetams
and thus was called the “Moolamnaya Peetam”. “Kamakoti” means “the end to all desires.” The
“kshetram,” the place where the Peetam is situated, is called “Satyavrata Kanchi.” The reigning god
and goddess of this kshetram are Ekambaranathar and Devi Kamakshi. The teertham or the name
of the river on the banks of which the Matham is situated is “Kampasara,” because the river Kampa
flows beneath the Ekambaranathar temple as “Antharvani,” meaning “invisible.” The Veda for the
Matham is Rig Veda. The Peetam is presently graced by the 69th Acharya, Sri Jayendra Saraswathi
Swamigal and the 70th Acharya, Sri Sankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamigal.
Adhishtanam:
The earlier Acharyas who attained videha mukti have been interred in adhishtanams. When such
a Sankaracharya or a realised soul attains mukti, his jivatma (individual consciousness) is supposed
to have merged with the paramatma (absolute consciousness). However, even so, a fraction of this
individual consciousness is said to continue to remain in his body, even as the rest merges with the
absolute. The body thus is interred into a pit, a construction is built above it and a sacred tulsi plant
or a Shiva lingam planted on top of this construction. This is called a brindavan or an adhishtanam.
Since these adhishtanams continue to contain a portion of the individual’s consciousness, they con-
tinue to radiate their blessings for all eternity. Bhaktas who pray even now in these sacred environs
have always experienced their grace and blessings.
Daily poojas are performed at the adhishtanam. On the anniversary of the videha mukti of that
Sankaracharya, a special pooja called the Aradhana is performed. This calendar lists the individual
Aradhana dates of the illustrious Acharyas of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam. On the back of each
page are found brief summaries of their lives to help us remember and pay obeisance to them on their
Aradhana thithi.
Guru Droham:
Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal, Periyaval, recounted an incident where a person had approached
the Paramacharya, beset with problems. The Paramacharya however, refused to meet him and ex-
plained this person’s background. “This person had a personal Guru with whom he was very close. His
Guru had various devotees, one of whom was an old widow. She had a few hundred rupees that she
had saved for carrying out her last rites. She had requested this Guru to hold the money in safe keep-
ing. The Guru in turn, gave the money to this person who used it in his business without the Guru’s
knowledge. After a few months, the widow started pestering the Guru to return her money as she felt
that her end was near and that she needed to entrust this money to one of her relatives to carry out
her last rites. The Guru in turn asked this person to return the money, but he didn’t. The widow used
to abuse the Guru every day and eventually died. So did the Guru, who never got the money back
from this person. The curse of this Guru was the reason of the person’s downfall. I too can’t suggest
any Pariharam as there is none available”, concluded the Paramacharya.
“A Sishya insulting another person’s Guru ends up earning his own Guru’s curse.” A misguided devotee
who wished to show his Adi Guru’s supremacy over Adi Sankara himself, created a monument show-
ing his Adi Guru as the first Guru in the Kanchi Guru Parampara. This unfounded history earned the
ire of Adi Sankara devotees, who mutilated the Adi Guru’s monument. Thus in his enthusiasm to
prove the supremacy of his Adi Guru, he had blemished his Guru’s name. Later, as a token of expia-
tion for this sin, he built a separate temple for his Adi Guru.
We pray that the blessings of Sri Mahatripurasundari sameetha Chandramouleswara be showered on
one and all.

Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam

Adi Sankara Bhagvadpadacharya (509 BC - 477 BC) along with his disciples

sruti smriti purananam alayam karunalayam


namami bhagavatpadam sankaram lokasankaram

The compassionate Guru Dakshinamurthi himself descended on this earth to destroy the Ajnana that had spread and to re-establish the
truth of Advaita. His advent was at Kaladi, Kerala to the blessed namboodri couple Sivaguru and Aryambal on Vaishaka Shukla Panchami,
Punarvasu Nakshatra, Nandana Samvatsara, 509BC. His miraculous life span of 32 years has been summarized in a couplet:
“ashtavarshe chaturvedo, dwadashe sarvashastravith
shodashe krithavan bhashyam, dvatrimsho munirabhyagath”
Mastery over the four Vedas by his eighth year and all Sastras by his twelfth year, the advaitic rendition of the Brahma Sutras, the Upanishads
and the Bhagavad Gita by his sixteenth year - accomplishments impossible for an ordinary mortal, the Acharya, in his short life span swept
like a tornado not once, but thrice through Bharata Varsha. He uprooted many heresies and re-established the pristine truth of Advaita. Here
in Kanchipuram, Adi Sankara ascended the sarvagnya peetam in the precints of the Kamakshi Temple. Then, settling down at Kanchi, he
founded the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam over which he himself presided and we now have an uninterrupted lineage of 70 Sankaracharyas presid-
ing this illustrious Peetam. In his thirty second year, he attained Videha Mukti in the presence of Kamakshi, the Brahmavidya swaroopini.
Adi Sankara’s akshara-abhyasa was performed when he was three years old, his brahmopadesam when he was just five. Sankara, a sruthidhara –
able to recite any work after hearing it only once, had in span of just two years, mastered all the scriptures and returned home from the Gurukul.
At the age of eight, young Sankara, left home after taking permission from his mother promising to be at her bedside during her last stages.
Sankara met his Guru, Govinda Bhagavatpada, who initiated him into sanyasa on the banks of the Narmada River.
On completing his learning under his Guru, Sankara authored Bhashyas, Prakarnagranthas and stotras He also received darshan and bless-
ings of his Paramaguru, Gaudapada. In the process of his Digvijay yatras, Sankara uprooted Buddhism, Jainism, Sankhya and Mimamsa sys-
tems of thought and firmly re-established Advaita Vedanta in the land.
Adi Sankara established four main Mathas in the four corners of the country to spread the message of Advaita Vedanta. These are at Jyothir
Mutt in the north near the Himalayas, on the island of Dwaraka by the western sea, at Jagannatha on the shores of the eastern sea, and finally,
in the south at Kudali- Sringeri, at the confluence of Tunga and Bhadra rivers.
He established the combined worship of the six deities i.e. Siva, Vishnu, Ambika, Surya, Vinayaka and Subrahmanya and was therefore
called as Shanmatha Sthapanacharya. Going to Mahakailash, Sankara obtained five spatika lingams and the Soundaryalahari. Sankara in-
stalled these five lingams - the Mukti-Lingam, Vara-Lingam, Moksha-Lingam, Bhoga-Lingam and Yoga-Lingam in Badrinath, Neelakanta
Kshetram (Nepal), Chidambaram, Kudali-Sringeri and Kanchipuram respectively. In his short life span, the Acharya succeeded in reviving
temple worship and Advaita Vedanta in every corner of the land.
The Acharya was the rarest union of Sage and Saint; of Philosopher and Devotee; of Mystic and Logician; of Original Writer and Commentator;
of Traditionalist and Innovator; of Establisher and Integrator; of total renunciation and Intense Activity, all characterizing the loftiest of Gurus
to have graced our land.

47 Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati : Otherwise known as Chandrachuda. He was the son of Suka Deva,
a native of Kundini riverside. He was a Dravida Brahmin and his pre-sanyasa name was Srikantha. He went
on tours of digvijaya and defeated in argument Hemacharya, a great Jain teacher in the court of Vidyalola
Kumarapala, and author of Kumarapala Charita. This Acharya was also held in considerable veneration by
Mankha, the author of Srikantha Charita, by Krishna Misra, the author of Prabhoda Chandrodaya and Guruvi-
jaya, and Jayadeva, author of Prasanna Raghavan, Chandraloka and Bhakti Kalpa Latika, and Suhala, and also
by a physician of Kashmir and author of a medical lexicon, known as Vaidyabhidhana Chintamani. Jayadeva
has celebrated the victory of Chandrasekhara over Hemacharya in his Bhakti Kalpalatika. Jayasimha, King of
Kashmir, considered himself blessed in the service of this great Acharya. He attained mukti at Arunachala
Kshetra.

40 Sri Mahadevendra Saraswati : He was the son of one Kannayya, a native of Karnataka. His poorvas-
rama name was Sivaramabhatta. He was very handsome and hence referred to as Sobhana and Ujjvala. He
attained mukti at Kanchi.

26 Sri Prajnanghanendra Saraswati : He was the son of Prabhakara, a native of a village on the bank of the
Pinakini. His former name was Sonagiri. He attained mukti at Kanchi.

1 Sri Sankara Bhagavatpada : On reaching Kanchi, after the digvijaya tours, Sri Sankaracharya settled
down at Kanchi, and established a Mutt for his own residence. He gave sanyasa diksha to a very young boy
of Thambaravarni valley, and named him Sarvajnatman. He also nominated him as successor Acharya of the
Kanchi Sankaracharya Mutt under the care of Sri Suresvaracharya. A long line of unbroken erudite and pious
Acharyas have adorned the Kamakoti Peetam since then. Some of the most famous in this line of Acharyas
are Sri Krpa Sankara, Sri Muka Sankara, Sri Abhinava Sankara, Sri Paramasivendra Saraswati, Sri Bhodhendra
Saraswati and the world renowned 68th Acharya, Pujyasri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swamigal (Maha
Periyaval). Adi Sankara took to sanyasa directly from Brahmacharya asrama. The same order is being followed
till now where the Head of the Mutt is selected from Brahmacharis only. The Acharyas of Kamakoti Peetam
have the title “Indra-Saraswati”.The Acharyas themselves perform the daily tri-kala pooja to Sri Chandramau-
leeswara.

39 Sri Sacchidvilasendra Saraswati : He was the son of Kamaleswara of Kanyakubja and was known by
the name Sripati before sanyasa. For a long time, he lived in Padmapura He attained mukti at Kanchi.

30 Sri Bhodhendra Saraswati : He was the son of one Kalahasti. His poorvasrama name was Balayya. He
attained mukti at Kanchi.

7 Sri Anandajnanendra Saraswati : He was known as Chinnayya before sanyasa. He was the son of
Suryanarayana Makhi. He hailed from Chera country. A great votary of Gauri, through divine grace of God,
he obtained extraordinary literary powers. He wrote commentaries on the Sankara Bhashyas and Sure-
swaracharya’s Vartikas. He attained mukti at Sri Saila.

3 Sri Sarvajnatmendra Saraswati : After having conquered the leaders of many heretic sects prevalent
in many parts of India, Sri Sankara Bhagavatpada reached Kanchi, the southern Mokshapuri to spend the
evening years of His life in that holy city. One of the famous incidents of Sri Sankara’s stay at Kanchi is his
Sarvajna Peetarohanam or ascending the seat of Omniscience. On knowing about this, scholars from various
parts of the Tamil regions gathered at Kanchi to witness the grand event. Among those, a band of scholars
from Brahmadesam and its neighborhood had a debate with the Acharya on Deva bedha, Moorthy bedha,
etc. By his clear exposition of the Advaita doctrine, the Acharya silenced their arguments. After the successful
ascending of the Sarvajna Peeta, Sri Sankara was attracted by a boy of 7 summers. He sent word for the par-
ents of the boy. They came with their son and bowed before Sri Sankara. Then the great Acharya expressed
His wish to nominate the little boy as his successor to the Kanchi Peetam. The parents greatly rejoiced and
agreed to the Acharya’s proposal. Thereafter the Acharya initiated the boy into sanyasa asrama, gave him the
diksha name of Sarvajnatman. The Bala Sanyasi was put under the care of Sri Sureswaracharya. Sri Sarvajnat-
man presided over the Sri Kanchi Sankaracharya Mutt for a long number of years. He wrote a lucid summary
or rather a further commentary on Sri Sankara’s Sutra Bashya. Sri Sarvajnatman’s commentary is known as
The Samkshepa Sareeraka. It is also said that he is the author of a poetical thesis called Sarvajna Vilasa. The
Samkshepa Sareeraka of Sri Sarvajnatman contains 1267 verses couched in elegance and easy style. After an
eventful and glorious career Sri Sarvajnatman attained videha mukthi in Kanchi.

61 Sri Mahadevendra Saraswati : He was previously known as Narayana. He was a great Yogi. It was during
his pontificate that Atma Bodha wrote his commentary Susama on the Gururatna Malika. He attained mukti
at Tiruvottiyur, now a part of Chennai.

17 Sri Sadasivendra Saraswati : He was the son of Deva Misra, a brahmin minister of Kashmir. He showed
a leaning towards Vedanta in his early years. He was ordained in sanyasa by Sri Ujjvala Sankara. Wherever he
went, he fed a number of brahmins every day. He attained mukti at Tryambaka (near Nasik).

53 Sri Purnananda Sadasivendra Saraswati : He was a native of Nagaranya. He was the son of one Na-
ganatha. He went on a tour to Nepal and was accorded royal honours by the King of Nepal. He attained
mukti at Kanchi.

2 Sri Sureswaracharya : Sri Sureswaracharya was the most learned and aged of Sri Bhagavatpada’s dis-
ciples. He was a native of Mahishmati. He was known as Mandana Mishra before he was initiated into the
ascetic order by Sri Sankara Bhagavatpada. History of how Sri Sankara had a long debate with Sri Mandana
Mishra on various topics in the Poorva Mimamsa and in Advaita Vedanta, and how Sri Mandana Mishra was
defeated in arguments and how he was subsequently given sanyasa and taken along with Him by the great
Acharya, is recorded in most biographies of Sankara. After a long and eventful career and having been the
author of the Vaathika on Sankara’s Brhadaranyopanishad Bhashya and having authored the famous philo-
sophical treatise known as Naishkarmya-Sidhi, Sri Sureswaracharya cast off his mortal remains at Kanchi, the
southern Mokshapuri. The presence of a street till recently under the name of Mandana Misra Agraharam,
and the presence of a stone icon of Sri Sureswaracharya inside the Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Sankaracharya Mutt
(which is in daily worship) confirm the connection of Sri Sureswaracharya with Kanchi Sankara Mutt and his
videha mukthi at Kanchi.

57 Sri Paramasivendra Saraswati : He was the son of Parameswara, native of a village on the bank of the
river Pampa. He was known as Sivaramakrishna before sanyasa. He was the Guru of the great Sadasiva Brah-
mendra, the author of the Gururatna Malika and was a great Brahma Jnani. The greatness of Paramasivendra
may be gauged from the fact that Sadasiva Brahmendra used to carry the sandals of the Acharya always
on his head. And the greatness of Sadasiva Brahmendra may also be understood by an incident, which is
recounted in popular tradition. Sadasiva steeped in the bliss of Brahman, was wandering about as an Avad-
huta, to all appearances like a mad man. Some one reported to Paramasivendra that Sadasiva had gone
mad. The Acharya is reported to have answered “I wish I had but a touch of that madness”. So great indeed
was Paramasivendra that Sadasiva Brahmendra has immortalized him in his Atma Vidya Vilasa. This Acharya
wrote a commentary on Siva Gita. He attained mukti at Svetaranya (Tiruvenkadu) in Tanjore District.

29 Sri Purnabhodhendra Saraswati : He was the son of Sripati. His former name was Krishna. He attained
mukti at Kanchi.

20 Sri Muka Sankarendra Saraswati : He was the son of one Vidyavati, an astrologer and astronomer. He
was a deaf-mute from birth. But through the grace of Goddess Kamakshi he gained the power of speech.
On knowing this attainment of speech by Muka because of the grace of Devi, the then Acharya of Sri Kanchi
Kamakoti Peetam, Sri Vidyaghana, sent for the boy’s parents and told them of his intention of giving san-
yasa to the boy and, with their consent, ordained him as his successor in the Kamakoti Mutt. Vikramaditya
Sakari of Ujjain, Matrugupta, some time king of Kashmir, and Pravarasena, who succeeded Matrugupta on
the throne, all considered it a rare privilege to serve at the feet of this great Acharya. Muka Sankara is the
author of Muka Panchasati, a lyrical flow of poetry on Kamakshi. The mellifluence of the work is said to be
rivaled only by Lila Suka’s Krishna Karnamrta. He attained mukti at a village near Godavari.

21 Sri Chandrachudendra Saraswati : He was a native of Konkan and the son of Achyuta. He succeeded
Muka Sankara as the Pontiff of the Kamakoti Peetam and attained mukti at Banares.

24 Sri Chitsukhendra Saraswati : He was a native of Konkan and was known as Siva Sarma before sanyasa.
All through his pontificate, he remained in Konkan and attained mukti near Ratnagiri.

59 Sri Bhagavannama Bhodhendra Saraswati : He was born in Mandana Misra Agraharam at Kanchi as
the son of one Kesava Panduranga. Bhodendra’s former name was Purushottama. It was he that stressed
the efficacy of devotion as a means to liberation in Kaliyuga. He therefore undertook the great task of Nama
Siddhanta, or establishing the supreme efficacy of reciting the names of Bhagavan in many of his writings,
chiefly in Namamrta Rasayana and Namamrta Rasodaya. His mission of Nama Siddhanta was pursued with
equal vigour by Sridhara Venkatesa, or Ayyaval of Tiruvisainallur and by Sadguru Swami of Marudanallur.
It was the Nama Siddhanta of Bodhendra that was ultimately responsible for the evolution of Bhajana
Sampradaya as an institution in the religious life of the Hindu community in South India. Bodhendra per-
formed Tatanka Pratistha at Jambukeswaram and while returning to Kanchi he attained videha mukti at
Govindapuram in the year 1692. It is believed that the spiritual presence of Bodhendra still abides at his
Adhisthana at Govindapuram. It is said that in the calm silence of the night a melodious voice uttering
Rama Nama is heard rising from subdued tones to a crescendo, and then fading into silence again.

33 Sri Sacchidanandaghanendra Saraswati : Otherwise known as Bhaskara Paramesthi. He was the son
of one Praudha Ramanna, a native of a village on the bank of the Chandrabhaga. His former name was Tim-
manna, and he was a versatile linguist. He carried out extensive repairs to the Mutt buildings at Kanchi and
attained mukti at Kanchi.

44 Sri Purnabhodhendra Saraswati : His father was Siva, a native of Karnataka region. His name in the
former ashrama was Hari. He attained videha mukti at Kanchi.

22 Sri Paripurna Bodhendra Saraswati : He was the son of one Ramanatha, a native of Ratnagiri in Maha-
rashtra. His name prior to sanyasa was Madhura. He was a great physician and yogi. He attained mukti near
Jagannatha Kshetra.

64 Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati : He was known as Venkatasubramanya Dikshita prior to his san-
yasa and belonged to the talented family of the great Govinda Dikshita, the Brahmana minister of Tanjore,
who is still lovingly remembered as “Ayyan”. He was adept in Mantra Sastra. The Acharya carried out repairs
to the temple of Sri Kamakshi at Kanchi and performed kumbhabhishekham on 22nd January 1840 AD. He
got the Tatankas (ear-oranaments) of Devi Akilandesvari in the Tiruvanaikka koil and reconsecrated them on
the ear of the goddess in 1848 AD.

9 Sri. Kripa Sankarendra Saraswati : An Andhra Brahmin by birth, his former name was Gangesopadyaya.
He devoted himself, heart and soul, to the eradication of degenerate obscene practices that had once again
crept into religion after the Bhagavatpada’s time, and restored purity. It fell to the lot of Krpa Sankara to
continue and perfect the noble work that Sri Adi Sankara had initiated. Krpa Sankara pursued with great
vigour, the work of the Master and enhanced the greatness of Shanmatas introducing a chastened mode
of worshiping Ganapati, Skanda, Siva, Vishnu, Ambika and Surya. In short, he prepared the ground for the
growth of the devotional path to be attempted in the future by Saiva Nayanars. These later Saiva and Vaish-
nava religious reformers owe a lot to both Adi Sankara and Krpa Sankara. Their work was rendered easier by
the preliminary religious reforms effected by the two great luminaries. He is said to have attained mukti at a
place near Vindhya region.

42 Sri Brahamanandaghanendra Saraswati : He was the son of one Subramanya. He was known by the
name Narasambhatta prior to sanyasa. He attained mukti at Kanchi.

49 Sri Mahadevendra Saraswati : He was the son of Achyuta of Chhayavanam in the Tanjore District. His
former name was Gurumurthi. He was a devout worshipper of Parasakti but not a tantrik. He attained mukti
on the banks of Gadilam River.

58 Sri Atma Bhodhendra Saraswati : He was a native of Vruddhachala, and son of one Viswamakhi. His
pre-sanyasa name was Visvesvara. He toured extensively and stayed at Benares for a long time. He wrote a
Bhasya on the Sri Rudram. It was Atma Bodha that directed Sadasiva Brahmendra to write the Gururatna
Malika. He attained mukti on the banks of the river South Pinakini, known in Tamil as Then Pennai.

28 Sri Mahadevendra Saraswati : He was the son of Bhahu Misra, a native of Bhadrachala. His pre-san-
yasa name was Sesanarayana. He was a Maithila Brahmana domiciled in Andhradesa. He attained mukti at
Kanchi.

18 Sri Yogatilaka Surendra Saraswati : He was a native of Maharashtra and the son of one Madhava. He
vanquished the notorious Charwivaka Durdivi by argument. He attained mukti near Ujjain.

32 Sri Chidanandaghanendra Saraswati : He was the son of one Kanva Sankara. His former name was
Padmanabha. He was a great yogi and he subsisted only on dry leaves. He attained mukti at Kanchi.

5 Sri Jnanandendra Saraswati : Was known as Jnanottama before sanyasa. He was the son of Nagesa, a
Dravida Brahmin. He was a great tarkika and wrote a commentary called Chandrika, on Sri Sureswaracharya’s
Naishkarmya Siddhi. He, in his Chandrika commentary, has spoken of his guru Sri Satyabodha and Parama
Guru Sri Sarvajnatman. (This Chandrika commentary was edited by Prof. Hiranayya of the Mysore University
and published.) In the preface to this commentary, Sri Jnanandendra Saraswati has spoken of himself as the
glory of the Sarvajasrama at Kanchi. He attained mukti at Kanchi.

13 Sri Sacchidghanendra Saraswati : Known as Seshaya in his poorvasrama, he belonged to a village on


the bank of the Gadilam river. He was the son of Sridhara Pandita. Like his predecessor, he relinquished his
pontificate to his successor and wandered about the environs of Kanchi as an “Avadhuta”. After wandering
for over thirty - two years, he disappeared into a temple in Kanchi. It is said that his mortal frame got trans-
formed into a Linga, now identified with Kayarohaneswara at Kanchi.

4 Sri Satya Bodhendra Saraswati : He was a native of Amaravatitheera in Chera country, and was known
as Phalinisa in his poorvasrama. He was the son of one Thalinesa Sharma. He fought the Samkhyas, Buddhas
and Jainas. He was the author of Padaka-Sata (explanatory treatise on Sankara Bhashya). Sri Sathyabodhen-
dra Saraswati attained mukti at Kanchi.

68 The 68th Pontiff His Holiness Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Sri Swaminathan (born at Villupuram
on 20th May 1894 - Anuradha Star) was taken to Kalavai in his 13th year, when he was studying at Tindi-
vanam, to be initiated into ascetic order and ordained as the 68th Acharya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt. He
was given the sanyasa name Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati. He was affectionately called “Mahaswami-
gal” and “Walking God”. He adorned the Peetam from February 13, 1907. True to the tradition of the Peetam
set by Adi Sankara, Mahaswamigal travelled throughout the country by foot or by the traditional palanquin.
He also stood by the national sentiments in discarding “foreign cloth” (*he immersed them in water instead
of setting them on fire) and started wearing Khadi. He set the trend of creating Trusts for achieving the
objectives of the Peetam. His foremost concern was preservation of the Vedas, tradition and dharma. He
advocated simplicity, shunned pomp, ostentation and extravagance. His exposition of Vedanta, sastras and
the dharmic duties attracted scholars and laymen alike, from far and wide. It has always been rich in values
and simple in understanding with a great sense of humor. He had the keen acumen to relate root words of
all the languages to Sanskrit highlighting its greatness. He attained moksha at Kanchipuram on 8th January
1994 (Dhanur, Krishna Dwadasi) in his Centenary year.

14 Sri Vidyaghanendra Saraswati : His name before sanyasa was Nayana and hailed from Andhra. Adept
in Mantra Sastra, he is said to have mollified Ugra Bhairava. He attained mukti at a place near Agastya hill.

34 Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati : He was the son of Mahadeva, a native of a village adjoining the
river Vegavati. His former name was Sambhu. He made extensive tours. and on one occasion, he heroically
saved a child that was caught in the midst of wild fire in a forest. He attained mukti at Kanchi.

55 Sri Chandrachudendra Saraswati : He was a native of Asmachala, near Manimuttar river in South Arcot
District. He was the son of Purari and Srimati. His former name was Arunagiri. He was a Dravida Brahmana. He
attained mukti at Kanchi.

8 Sri . Kaivalya Ananda Yogendra Saraswati : A native of Tirupati in Andhra, he was known as Manganna
before sanyasa. He was the son of Trailinga Sivayya. He attained mukti at Kanchi.

37 Sri Vidyaghanendra Saraswati : He was the son of Balachandra. His former name was Suryanarayana.
He attained mukti at Chidambaram, where he had gone on a pilgrimage.

62 Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati : Kanchi was involved in the Karnatic wars and peaceful existence
there had become impossible. Hence the Acharyas of Kamakoti Peetam decided on migrating south though
Kanchi still figured as the nominal headquarters. The golden image of Kamakshi (Bangaru Kamakshi) had
already been carried away by the sthanikas of the temple first to Udayarpalayam, and later to Tanjore where
it has been permanently installed. The Acharya Chandrasekhara himself acceded to the request of Pratapa
Simha, Rajah of Tanjore (1740-63) and took up his permanent headquarters at Tanjore. But Kumbakonam, on
the banks of the sacred river Kaveri, was found more suitable and shortly thereafter the Acharya shifted to
Kumbakonam. Chandrasekhara attained mukti at Kumbakonam.
