Today we are the followers of Sanatana Dharma only because of the relentless efforts of Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya, the incarnation of Lord Paramashiva. Twelve centuries ago, the great Acharya spread the Upanishadic import of Advaita touring all over the country. With great foresight, Sri Adi Shankaracharya established four Amnaya Peethams in the four directions of India. Among these, the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham established at Sringeri has been adorned by an unbroken succession of illustrious Gurus right from Sri Adi Shankaracharya’s direct disciple, Sri Sureshwaracharya. The lives of the Acharyas and their efforts to continue the mission of Sri Adi Shankaracharya are remarkable and unique. By their own conduct and by their discourses, the Acharyas of the Peetham teach Dharma and instill the need for paying gratitude to Sri Adi Shankaracharya among the masses.

This year, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam will celebrate

Sri Shankara Jayanti of the Parabhava Samvatsara in Sringeri from April 18, 2026 to April 21, 2026. The programme includes Special Poojas at the shrine of Sri Shankara Bhagavatpadacharya in the mornings and Pravachanams in the august presence of Jagadguru Mahaswamiji in the evenings. Parayana of the Vedas and Sri Vidyaranya Veda Bhashya will be conducted in the morning and evening on all these days.

As part of the Celebrations, the Veda Poshaka Sabha of the Sringeri Math will conduct a conference of Vedic scholars. This Sabha was commenced in 1974 by the 35th Acharya of the Peetham, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji for the propagation of Vedic knowledge. Since then, students belonging to various Veda Shakhas from all over the country have been participating in the Veda Pareeksha conducted by the Sabha. Successful candidates have been honoured with certificates and cash awards as per the instruction of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji. Such scholars who have passed the exam are invited every year and honoured.

On the Shashti day (April 22, 2026), there will be a Splendid Rathotsava of Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya. The same evening, honours to Vedic scholars and certificates to successful students will be conferred by Jagadguru Mahaswamiji.

We request all devotees to participate in this auspicious Shankara Jayanti celebrations and be the recipient of the benign blessings of the Jagadguru.

More Details of the Sri Shankara Jayanti Mahotsava in the invitation brochure below.

With the blessings of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam will undertake a Vijaya Yatra from 31st March to 08 April and from 12th April to 16th April 2026 across parts of Karnataka.
