Synopsis :
The 33rd Acharya of the Peetham was an expert in Mantra-Shastra and an epitome of compassion. A life sketch of the Mahaswamiji was first published in Kannada by the Peetham in 1924. It was penned by Guruseva Praveena Sri Srikantha Shastri, the then Sarvadhikari of the Math, who had the fortune of serving the Mahaswamiji for many years. It is this work that forms the primary source of this book.
While compiling this book, excerpts from the abridged English translation,of the Tamil version of the aforesaid Kannada book, by Sri B.V. Kameshwara Iyer, titled `The life of Sri Jagadguru Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati Swami of Sringeri’ have been included.
It is Mahaswamiji who rediscovered the birth place of Sri Adi Shankaracharya at Kalady. It is only due to Mahaswamiji’s efforts we have with us the complete works of Adi Shankaracharya.
This book also contains a brief life sketch of the Mahaswamiji’s Guru in the beginning and contains the hymn Gurudvaya Abheda Anusandhanam, composed by His Holiness Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji. The hymn portrays the non-difference between Sri Adi Shankaracharya and Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati Mahaswamiji.
