Synopsis

A rare sage, who renounced the world before completing 16 years of age and who attained Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the highest state of Yoga, before He was 20, His Holiness Abhinava Vidyatheertha Mahaswamigal was a renowned Jivanmukta and a scholar par excellence in Tarka and Vedanta. He adorned the sacred Sringeri Sharada Peetham and brought great glory to it during the 35 years of His pontificate as its 35th Jagadguru. The very embodiment of compassion, the Acharya graced innumerable devotees in myriad ways.

The aim of this book is to present the great life story of this great Teacher briefly and in a simple language to the younger generation.

Sri V. Jayashankar, who has written this small book, is an Engineer and has been awarded Doctor of Philosophy for his research work in the Engineering field.
