Dear followers of Sanatana Dharma,
The 36th Peethadheeshwara of Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam will be observing His 52nd Chaturmasyam in the Parabhava samvatsara along with His successor-designate, Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Swamiji, in Sringeri.
The Jagadguru will commence the Chaturmasya Vrata with Vyasa Puja on Ashadha Poornima (Wednesday, the 29th of July 2026) and complete it on Bhadrapada Poornima (Saturday, the 26th of September, 2026).
Devotees have always deemed it a privilege and duty to offer Bhiksha Vandanam, Vastra Samarpanam and other sevas to the Jagadgurus during Chaturmasya. It is indeed an auspicious occasion to have Darshan of the Jagadgurus and receive Their Blessings.
Details of important days during the Chaturmasya are enclosed. I am sure that all devotees would offer their Sevas at the Lotus Feet of the Jagadgurus during this period and get blessed. Prior information of your program and Sevas to be offered will help us in proper coordination.
I am pleased to convey the Benign Blessings of the Jagadgurus for the welfare of you and your family members.
Yours sincerely,
Guru Seva Nirata P. A. Murali
CEO & Administrator, Sri Sringeri Math and its Properties
Chaturmasya Vrata is observed in accordance with the Shastras by Sannyasis for a period of two months from Ashadha Poornima to Bhadrapada Poornima. During the Chaturmasya, Sannyasis refrain from moving from place to place, enabling them to devote their time to meditating on the Supreme Brahman, teaching the Shastras to eligible disciples and clearing the doubts of all sincere spiritual seekers.
The Chaturmasya begins on the Poornima (full moon day) in the month of Aashaada. This day is called ‘Guru Poornima’. On this sacred day, worship is offered to Brahma Vidyacharyas- the great luminaries of hoary antiquity, who through their Supreme grace, have bestowed the knowledge of Brahman - Brahma Vidya - through a long, continuous and uninterrupted line of Acharyas.
The day is also called “Vyasa Poornima” and the Puja performed is titled “Vyasa Puja”. In our Guru Parampara that originates from Ishwara Himself, Bhagavan Veda Vyasa is held with the highest esteem by all followers of Sanatana Dharma. Bhagavan Veda Vyasa has brought about everyone’s welfare by classifying the Vedas into four, by summing up the messages of the Upanishads in His Brahma Sutras, and by penning the great epic Mahabharata as well as the eighteen Puranas. Sri Shuka, Sri Gaudapada and Sri Govinda Bhagavatpada kept the light of the Parampara burning. Then came the Great Master, Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya, who revived Sanatana Dharma and carried its teachings far and wide throughout Bharatavarsha.
The Vyasa Poornima and the entire Chaturmasya period are indeed very auspicious occasions to express our gratitude to the entire Guru Parampara and to renew our Guru Bhakti.

Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam Observes Dakshinayana Punyakala at Sringeri
Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam observed the Dakshinayana Punyakala at Sringeri on July 17, 2026. The Dakshinayana occurs when Surya moves from the Mithuna Rashi to the Karkataka Rashi. The Dharma Shastras proclaim the last twelve hours preceding this change of zodiac to be auspicious and hence the term Dakshinayana Punya Kala. Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam performed an elaborate Ganga Puja during the Dakshinayana Punya Kala on the northern banks of the Tunga River.
Thereafter, the Poornahuti of the Surya Homa was performed in the divine presence of Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam.
Later, Maha Mangalarati was offered at the shrine of Goddess Sri Sharadamba in the divine presence of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam. Subsequently, Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam had darshan of all the temples within the Peetham premises, witnessing the Mangalarati offered at each shrine. Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam then proceeded to the Adhishtana Mandirams and witnessed the Aarati performed at the Adhishtanams of His revered Guru Parampara.
