It is well known that Jagadguru Sri Shankara Bhagavatpadacharya, the incarnation of Lord Paramashiva, took birth at Kalady in Kerala twelve centuries ago, rejuvenated Sanatana Dharma, propagated the Upanishadic philosophy of Advaita by touring across Bharatavarsha and established four Amnaya Peethams in the four directions of the country for the sustained propagation of Dharma. The foremost among the four Peethams, the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham established at Sringeri on the banks of the Tungabhadra has been adorned by an unbroken succession of illustrious Jagadgurus commencing from Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada’s prime disciple, Sri Sureshwaracharya.

Goddess Sri Sharadamba, the divinity of knowledge, shines in full splendour here as the presiding deity, showering Her all-bestowing grace on devotees. Amongst the festivals celebrated at Sringeri, the Sharannavaratri Mahotsava of Goddess Sharadamba is the most important and grandest. His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji will be celebrating the Mahotsava of this Parabhava Samvatsara from Ashwayuja Shukla Pratipat 11.10.2026 to Ekadashi 22.10.2026 at Sringeri.

It is owing to the grace of Mahaswamiji that today we have the blessed opportunity to visit Kalady Kshetra, the birthplace of Bhagavatpada Shankaracharya; that we celebrate Shankara Jayanti on Vaishakha Shukla Panchami; and that we have the opportunity to study the complete works of Bhagavatpada.

Sri Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sabha was institutionalised by the 33rd Jagadguru as an annual assembly of eminent Shastra Vidwans. Distinguished scholars from across Bharat are invited to participate in the deliberations. The proceedings are conducted entirely in Samskrita, upholding the traditional mode of Shastric discussion. Detailed Vakyartha deliberations are held on selected topics from Vedanta, Mimamsa, Vyakarana and Nyaya Shastras. The Jagadguru inaugurates the Sabha with a scholarly exposition, traditionally in Nyaya Shastra. Sri Jagadguru remains present throughout the sessions, guiding, clarifying and adjudicating the scholarly deliberations. The Sabha thus serves as an important forum for preserving and nurturing the living tradition of profound Shastric scholarship. Among the Vakyartha Sabhas conducted across Bharat, the Sri Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sabha at Sringeri occupies a pre-eminent place.

Vyasa Poornima and Chaturmasya Guru Saparya 2026

The Chaturmasya begins on the Poornima (full moon day) in the month of Aashaada. This day is called “Guru Poornima.” This year it falls on Wednesday, July 29, 2026. 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. Brahmarshi 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.

Keeping this in mind, to foster Gurubhakti in devotees, as per the direction and blessings of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji and Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji, all Sanatana Dharma followers are required to organise the Vyasa Puja celebrations in a grand and befitting manner at your respective centres, incorporating the events listed below.

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.

Guru Seva Nirata P. A. Murali
CEO & Administrator, Sri Sringeri Math and its Properties

About Chaturmasya Vrata

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.

Guru Poornima or Vyasa Poornima

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.

Veena-Naada-Samarpanam to Sri Sharadamba

On October 11, With the divine blessings of the Ubhaya Jagadgurus of the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Veena-Naada-Samarpanam was inaugurated today at the Sri Sharadamba temple in the divine presence of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam.

Veena-Naada-Samarpanam is a musical Samarpanam to Sri Sharadamba on the auspicious occasion of Sri Sharada Sharan Navaratrotsava. It is a sacred offering of pristine Naada resonating from Sri Sharadamba's own divine Vaadya, the Veena, independent of Saahitya & Artha (lyrics & lyrical meaning) and unaccompanied by percussion, voice or other instruments.

The Samarpanam is inspired by the purport of the Shlokas composed by Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamiji, the 33rd Acharya of the Peetham. The Acharya extols Sri Sharadamba in all Her glory, as She adorns varied Alankaras during the sacred Navarati period.

The underlying Rasa and Bhaava of each Alankara have been brought to life through a series of ten musical offerings, gracefully set to melody by Vidwan Sri Ramana Balachandran. The Sringeri Math is thankful to the Vidwan for weaving together these soulful renditions, through thoughtfully chosen Raagas that embody the essence of each Alankara. This Samarpanam is a free-flow of Manodharma (creative expression), based primarily on the framework of Thaanam (rhythmic improvisation) in the Carnatic music system. Thaanam is the very heartbeat of the Veena, where the Veena finds its richest expression, and is therefore the principal component of this musical Samarpanam at the Most Holy Lotus Feet of the Veena-dhaarini Sri Sharadamba.

At the Sri Sharadamba temple today, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam performed Sri Sharada Pratishtha Puja and then worshiped Sri Sharadamba adorned in the Hamsavahana Alankara. Thereafter, Jagadguru Sri Sri Sannidhanam, after His worship to Sri Sharadamba adorned in the Hamsavahana Alankara, blessed the silver Veena made as a symbolic offering of the Samarpanam by Guru-Seva Nirata Sri PA Murali, CEO & Administrator of the Sringeri Math. The Veena rendition corresponding to the Hamsavahana Alankara then started resounding in the Sri Sharadamba temple as the Jagadguru distributed Prasada to the Navaratri Seva-kartas.

Extracts of the audio track are uploaded on the Math’s Youtube channel every evening of Navaratri, accompanied by divine visuals of Jagadguru Sri Sri Mahasannidhanam’s worship of Sri Sharadamba in each of the ten Alankaras.

Chatushashti Upachara Puja to Goddess Sri Sharadamba

On the auspicious occasion of Ashwayuja Shukla Dwadashi in Parabhava Samvatsara (October 23), Jaganmata Sri Sharadamba was worshipped with sixty-four sacred offerings for the first time during the Navaratri celebrations at the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri. The elaborate worship was performed in the divine presence of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam and Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam, accompanied by the chanting of sacred verses composed by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya.

The rituals included Panchamrita Snana, divine adornment with various Abharanas, and offerings of Gandha, Pushpa, Dhupa, Deepa and Naivedya. Traditional offerings of Veena Vaadana, Nritya, Sangeeta, and Ashwa-Gaja Samarpana formed part of this elaborate worship, reflecting the rich spiritual and cultural traditions of the Peetham.

The Sharannavaratri Mahotsava of Jaganmata Sri Sharadamba is celebrated with immense devotion and grandeur at Sringeri, invoking the divine grace and blessings of the Goddess for the welfare and prosperity of all.

Sri Sureshwaracharya Jayanti Utsava

Ashwayuja Shukla Ekadashi (the day following Vijayadashami) is the Jayanti day of Jagadguru Sri Sureshwaracharya. The Acharya was the foremost of disciples of Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya, who anointed him as the first Peethadhipati of the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham at Sringeri. The Jayanti day also coincides with the Rathotsava and Addapallaki Utsava during Navaratri.

The Jayanti this year was celebrated on October 22, 2026 in an elaborate manner with Shatarudra Abhisheka at the Adhishtanam of Jagadguru Sri Sureshwaracharya. Mahamangalarati took place in the presence of Sri Sannidhanam.

In the evening, a Jayanti Sabha was organised in the Pravachana Mandiram in the divine presence of Sri Sannidhanam. Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam then blessed with an Anugraha Bhashanam.

Jagadguru Sri Mahasannidhanam and Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam offer Suvarna Mala containing Ashtottara Shatanamavali of Jagadguru Sri Sureshwaracharya on the Jayanti day. The event ended with Mahamangalarati at the Samadhi of Jagadguru Sri Sureshwaracharya by Jagadguru Sri Mahasannidhanam.

The Divine Life of Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra

Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra was an extraordinary Avadhuta Sannyasi. He was born by divine grace towards the end of the seventeenth century to Sri Moksha Somanatha Avadhani and Srimati Parvatamma, who resided in Madurai. His childhood name was Sri Shivaramakrishna Sharma.

Endowed with exceptional intelligence from an early age, he completed his initial education in Madurai and subsequently proceeded to Tiruvisainallur, where he studied under Sri Ramasubba Shastri. Sri Sridhara Venkatesa Ayyaval and Sri Bodhendra Saraswati Swamiji were his contemporaries. It is also traditionally said that Mahabhashyam Gopalakrishna Shastri of Bhikshandar Kovil studied with him.

Even in his youth, Sri Shivaramakrishna Sharma developed dispassion towards worldly life and a deep inclination towards Sannyasa. He sought refuge in Sri Paramashivendra Saraswati — the eighteenth-century sage and disciple of Sri Abhinava Narayanendra Saraswati, and author of the Vedantic treatise Dahara Vidya Prakashika.

Receiving Sannyasa in accordance with tradition from Sri Paramashivendra Saraswati, he was given the monastic name Sri Sadashivendra Saraswati.

A Paramahamsa Sannyasi, he became widely renowned as Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra. In the compositions he authored, he employed the signature Paramahamsa, referring to his Guru.

Having thoroughly mastered the Vedanta Shastras expounded by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya under the guidance of his Guru, he remained — like his Guru and Paramaguru — an independent Sannyasi without any affiliation to any Math or monastic institution.

His Vow of Silence and Avadhuta Life

Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra, who guided the world along the path of spiritual welfare, possessed extraordinary eloquence, profound understanding and exceptional debating skills, with which he could silence even the most accomplished disputants.

A well-known traditional account relates that his Guru, concerned that his disciple might become excessively absorbed in debate without putting the essence of the teachings into spiritual practice (Sadhana), once exclaimed in displeasure, “Will your mouth not remain closed?”

Fully understanding the deeper significance of his Guru's words, Sri Brahmendra immediately undertook a vow of silence, which he observed from that moment onwards.

Beyond maintaining silence, he lived as a supreme Avadhuta, with the directions themselves as his garment. Exposed to the scorching sun, biting cold and pouring rain, he wandered through forests, hills and riverbanks, spending his life absorbed in the bliss of the Atman.

Ever immersed in contemplation of the Divine, he attained extraordinary spiritual powers through divine grace.

His Literary and Musical Contributions

Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra authored several profound works, including Atma Vidya Vilasa, Atmanusandhanam, Navamanimala, Advaita Rasamanjari, Siddhanta Kalpavalli, Brahmasutra Vritti (Brahma Tattva Prakashika) and Yoga Sutra Vritti (Yoga Sudhakara).

He also composed numerous devotional songs in praise of Sri Rama, Sri Krishna and the Supreme Brahman. Among his celebrated compositions are Bruhi Mukundeti, Sarvam Brahmamayam, Manasa Sancharare, Tunga Tarange Gange, Chinta Nasti Kila, Piba re Ramarasam, Bhajare Gopalam and Tattvajivatvam. These compositions continue to be widely sung in the world of Carnatic music.

Travelling extensively throughout Bharat, Sri Brahmendra performed numerous extraordinary spiritual acts and bestowed his blessings upon all. He also served as a spiritual guide to rulers, including the Maharajas of Mysore, Pudukkottai and Thanjavur.

Jeeva Samadhi at Nerur

Around 1755–1756, Sri Brahmendra is said to have appeared in the dreams of the aforementioned ru         lers and informed them that he would enter Jeeva Samadhi on a particular day at Nerur, on the banks of the River Kaveri near Karur. Accordingly, on Vaishakha Shukla Dashami, in the presence of all, he entered Jeeva Samadhi with his physical body.

Before this sacred event, he had informed the residents of Nerur that a Bilva plant would emerge above his Samadhi. He further foretold that, on the twelfth day following his Jeeva Samadhi, a Brahmana would arrive from Kashi carrying a Bana Linga, which was to be consecrated twelve feet to the east of his Samadhi.

In recognition of his extraordinary Siddhis, tradition holds that Sri Brahmendra attained Samadhi simultaneously at three places: Nerur, Manamadurai and Karachi.

“The ways of great Mahatmas can truly be understood only by other Mahatmas.”

It is a matter of historical record that Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamiji of Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sri Sharada Peetham visited Nerur during His four-year Vijaya Yatra (1907-1911), spent three days absorbed in meditation at Sri Brahmendra's Samadhi, had His Darshana and composed Stotras in His praise.

Referring to the tradition of Sri Brahmendra's Samadhi at three places, the Sringeri Jagadguru explained that it would be appropriate to understand this as Sri Brahmendra having relinquished His Sthula, Sukshma and Karana Shariras — the gross, subtle and causal bodies — at three different locations.

As foretold, the Bana Linga brought by the Brahmana was duly consecrated, and the Maharaja of Pudukkottai subsequently constructed a temple there. This became the temple of Sri Kashi Vishwanatha and Sri Vishalakshi. From that time until the present day, Agamic worship has continued uninterrupted at the temple, while Vedic worship has been performed at the Adhishthanam.

Every year, Sri Brahmendra's Aradhana Mahotsava is celebrated with great devotion on the sacred anniversary of His Jeeva Samadhi. All those who aspire to attain the highest purpose of human life continue to revere Sri Brahmendra as their Guru and receive His blessings.

The Mahakumbhabhishekam of October 25, 2026

On the auspicious Sunday, October 25, 2026, corresponding to Aippasi 8 of the Parabhava year, with Chaturdashi Tithi, Revati Nakshatra and Amrita Yoga, the Mahakumbhabhishekam of the Adhishthanam of Sadguru Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra and the temple of Sri Kashi Vishwanatha and Sri Vishalakshi Ambika was performed between 8:15 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., during Vrischika Lagna, by divine grace.

Thousands of devotees assembled in large numbers, participated in the sacred festivities and experienced immense spiritual joy upon receiving the blessings of Sri Kashi Vishwanatha with Sri Vishalakshi Ambika and Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra.

Several distinguished personalities attended the ceremony and received divine blessings. Among them was Smt. Charubala Tondaiman, a member of the illustrious Tondaiman royal lineage.

The Yagashala ceremonies associated with the Kumbhabhishekam were conducted with great dedication by the following Sivacharyas: Sri D. Sivaraja Sivacharyar, Sarva Sadhakam and Sivagama Selvar, Sri D. Chandrasekhara Sivacharyar, Archaka of Sri Ratnagirishwara Temple, Ayyarmalai, Sri K. Nagendrakumar, Archaka of Sri Kashi Vishwanatha Temple and Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra Adhishthanam, Nerur.

Sri S. Karthikeyan, Assistant Commissioner of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department, Pudukkottai District, and Smt. R. Ranjitha, Executive Officer, made excellent arrangements for the convenience of devotees. Smt. S. V. Harshini, Assistant Commissioner, Tiruppur District, also participated in the celebrations. Sri Balasubramaniam and Sri Arul Periyasamy, administrators of the Nerur Adhishthanam, made commendable arrangements for the Mahakumbhabhishekam.

The Historic Association of the Sringeri Jagadgurus with Nerur

It is widely known that, ever since the time of the 33rd Shankaracharya of Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sri Sharada Peetham, Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamiji, who brought this Adhishthanam (Samadhi shrine) to the attention of the world in 1908 and enabled countless devotees to receive the blessings of this great Mahatma, successive Sringeri Shankaracharyas have contributed to the development and spiritual activities of the Adhishthanam.

The Sringeri Jagadgurus have visited the Adhishthanam on several occasions and worshipped Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra, praying for the welfare of the world.

The 34th Shankaracharya, Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji, visited in 1925 and offered worship at the Adhishthanam. The 35th Shankaracharya, Jagadguru Sri Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji, worshipped at the Adhishthanam in 1962, 1965 and 1980. The present Peethadhipati and 36th Shankaracharya, Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, visited in 1975, 1980, 1987, 1988, 2012 and 2017 and offered worship at the Adhishthanam. The 37th Shankaracharya, Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji, visited in 2017 and offered worship along with his revered Guru.

On all these occasions, the Jagadgurus worshipped Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra at His sacred Adhishthanam and offered prayers for universal welfare.

Anugraha Sandesha of Jagadguru Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji

For this sacred occasion, Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji of Sringeri graciously delivered His Anugraha Sandesha.

The Jagadguru cited the Mantra from the Mundaka Upanishad:

“तस्मादात्मज्ञं ह्यर्चयेद्भूतिकामः”

Explaining the significance of this Upanishadic teaching, the Jagadguru blessed the devotees, stating that by worshipping and serving Atma Jnanis such as Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra, people throughout the world would attain all welfare and prosperity.

Participation of Sringeri Math in the Mahakumbhabhishekam

Earlier, on 29th September 2026, authorities of Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra Adhisthanam and the Kashi Vishwanatha temple of Nerur, led by Sri Balasubramanian had Darshan of the Sringeri Jagadgurus, submitted reverentially the invitation of the Kumbhabhishekam event and sought blessings for the successful conduct of the Kumbhabhishekam ceremonies.

The Sringeri Math offered substantial service towards the renovation and restoration works associated with this Mahakumbhabhishekam. On behalf of the Sringeri Math, Sri Sridhar Chityala, Dharmadhikari of the Sringeri Shankara Math at Nerur, took-up responsibility along with his wife Smt. Sharada Chityala, as the principal Dharmakarta for the Kumbhabhishekam ceremonies, including the Yagashala Pujas that commenced on October 22. He offered Sambhavana to all the Shivacharyas on the preceding day. He also arranged for Vedic scholars and scholars of the Shastras to perform the respective Parayanas and honoured them with Sambhavana, thereby rendering his devoted service to the sacred occasion. Beginning October 26, 2026, Mandala Puja will be performed for 48 days at the sacred Adhishthanam.

பராபவ வருடம் ஜப்பசி மாதம் 8ந் தேதி (25.10.2026) ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை

இன்று மங்களகரமான பராபவ வருடம் ஜப்பசி மாதம் 8ந் தேதி (25.10.2026) ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை சதுர்த்தசி திதியும், ரேவதி நக்ஷத்திரமும், அமிர்தயோகமும் கூடிய சுபயோக சுபதினத்தில் காலை 8.15 மணிக்கு மேல் 9.30 மணிக்குள், விருச்சிக லக்னத்தில், திருவருள் கூட்டி வைத்தவண்ணம் ஸ்ரீ சத்குரு ஸ்ரீசதாசிவ பிரம்மேந்திராள் அதிஷ்டானம் மற்றும் ஸ்ரீ காசி விஸ்வநாதர் - ஸ்ரீ விசாலாட்சி அம்மனுக்கு மஹாகும்பாபிஷேகம் என்னும் திருக்குட நன்னீராட்டுப் பெருவிழா நடைபெற்று ஆயிரக்கணக்கான பக்தகோடி பெருமக்கள் பெரும்திரளாகக் கலந்து கொண்டு, ஸ்ரீ விசாலாக்ஷி அம்பிகா சமேத ஸ்ரீ காசி விஸ்வநாதர் மற்றும் ஸ்ரீசதாசிவ பிரம்மேந்திராளின் திருவருள் பெற்று பேரானந்தம் அடைந்தனர்.

ஶ்ரீசதாசிவ பிரம்மேந்திரர் ஓர் அபூர்வ அவதூத சன்யாசி. மதுரையில் வாழ்ந்துவந்த ஶ்ரீமோக்ஷ சோமநாத அவதானி மற்றும் ஶ்ரீமதி பார்வதிஅம்மாள் தம்பதிக்கு மகனாக இறையருளால் 17 ஆம் நூற்றாண்டின் இறுதியில் அவதரித்தார். இவரது இயற்பெயர் சிவராமகிருஷ்ணன். சிறுவயது முதலே அறிவில் சிறந்துவிளங்கிய இவர் மதுரையில் தமது படிப்பை முடித்துக்கொண்டு திருவிசைநல்லூர் சென்று ஶ்ரீராமசுப்பா சாஸ்த்திரிகளிடம் பயின்றார். ஶ்ரீ ஶ்ரீதரவேங்கடேச அய்யாவாள் மற்றும் ஶ்ரீபோதேந்திர ஸரஸ்வதி ஸ்வாமிகள் ஆகியோர் இவரது சமகாலத்தவர்கள். பிக்ஷாண்டார் கோயில் மஹாபாஷ்யம் கோபாலகிருஷ்ண சாஸ்த்திரியும் இவருடன் படித்தார் என்று சொல்வதுண்டு.

சிவராமகிருஷ்ணன் சிறுவயதிலேயே குடும்ப வாழ்க்கையை வெறுத்து சன்னியாசத்தில் ஆர்வம் கொண்டார். பதினெட்டாம் நூற்றாண்டில் வாழ்ந்தவரும் ஶ்ரீஅபிநவ நாராயணேந்திர ஸரஸ்வதி அவர்களின் சீடரும் தஹரவித்யாபிரகாசிகா என்ற வேதாந்தநூலை இயற்றியவருமான ஶ்ரீ பரமசிவேந்திர சரஸ்வதி அவர்களை சரணடைந்து அவரிடமிருந்து முறைப்படி துறவறம் ஏற்று ஶ்ரீ ஸதாசிவேந்திர ஸரஸ்வதி என்ற திருநாமம் பெற்றார். பரமஹம்ஸ ஸன்னியாசியான இவர் ஶ்ரீ ஸதாசிவ பிரஹ்மேந்திராள் என்றே அழைக்கப்பட்டதுடன் தாம் இயற்றிய கீர்த்தனைகளில் “பரமஹம்ஸ” என்று தமது குருவை குறிப்பதாகவே முத்திரையையே வழங்கிவந்தார். ஜகத்குரு ஶ்ரீஆதிசங்கரர் போதித்த வேதாந்த சாஸ்த்திரத்தை தமது குருவிடம் சிறப்பாக கற்றுத்தேர்ந்த இவர், தமது குரு மற்றும் பரமகுருவைப் போலவே எந்த ஒரு மடத்திற்கும் சேராத சுதந்திரமான ஸன்னியாசியாக உலகிற்கு நல்வழிகாட்டுபவராக விளங்கிவந்தார்

ஶ்ரீ பிரம்மேந்திரர் தமது நாவன்மையாலும் தெளிந்த அறிவினாலும்,சிறந்த வாதத்திறமையாலும் எவரையும் வாயடைக்கச் செய்யும் திறன்வாய்ந்த இவர் வாதத்திலேயே அக்கறையுள்ளவராக வாதத்தின் பொருளை பொருட்படுத்தாமல் போய்விடக்கூடாதென்பதால் “உன் வாய் அடைக்காதா?” என சினந்துகொண்ட குருவின் உத்தரவைப் முழுவதுமாகப் புரிந்துகொண்டு அடுத்த விநாடி முதல் மௌனவிரதத்தைக்கடைபிடித்தார் என்கிற செவிவழிச் செய்தி மிகவும் பிரஸித்தியாக இருக்கிறது.மௌனமட்டுமல்லாமல் திசைகளே தமக்கு ஆடையாக தலைசிறந்த அவதூதராக வெயிலில் காய்ந்தும், பனியில் உலர்ந்தும், மழையில் நனைந்தும் காடு மேடுகளிலும் ஆற்றங்கரைகளிலும் ஆன்மதியானத்தில் வாழ்நாளைக் கழித்தார். எப்போதும் இறைசிந்தனையோடு வாழ்ந்து இறையருளால் அனைத்து சித்திகளையும் கைவரப் பெற்றார்.

ஆத்ம வித்யா விலாசம், ஆத்மானுசந்தானம், நவமணிமாலா, அத்வைத ரஸமஞ்சரி, சித்தாந்த கல்பவல்லி, ப்ரஹ்மஸூத்ர வ்ருத்தி, யோக சுதாகரா, போன்ற பல நூல்களை இயற்றினார். அவர் ஶ்ரீராமரையும், ஶ்ரீ கிருஷ்ணரையும், பரபரஹ்மத்தையும் துதித்து பல்வேறு பாடல்களை அருளிச்செய்தார். அவற்றுள் ப்ரூஹி முகுந்தேதி, ஸர்வம் ப்ரஹ்ம மயம், மானஸ சஞ்சரரே, துங்க தரங்கேகங்கே, சிந்தா நாஸ்திகில, பஜரே கோபாலம், தத்வஜ்ஜீவத்வம் போன்ற கிருதிகள் கர்னாடக சங்கீத உலகில் அனைவராலும் பாடப்பட்டு வருகின்றன.

நமது பாரதநாடு முழுதும் சுற்றித்திரிந்து, பல சித்துக்கள் புரிந்து அனைவருக்கும் அருள்பாலித்து வந்த ஶ்ரீ பிரம்மேந்திரர் மைசூர் மஹாராஜா, புதுக்கோட்டை மஹாராஜா மற்றும் தஞ்சாவூர் மஹாராஜா போன்றோருக்கும் ஆன்ம வழிகாட்டியாக விளங்கினார்.

இறுதியாக 1755-56 ஆம்ஆண்டு மேற்கூறிய மன்னர்களின் கனவில் தோன்றி தான் கரூருக்கு அருகிலுள்ள நெரூரில் காவிரி ஆற்றங் கரையில் ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட நாளில் ஜீவசமாதி அடையப்போவதாகத்தெரிவித்தார். அதேபோல் அனைவரது முன்னிலையில் வைசாக சுக்ல தசமி நாளன்று தமது ஸ்தூல சரீரத்துடன் ஜீவ சமாதி அடைந்தார். இந்நிகழ்வுக்கு முன்னரே அவ்வூர் பெருமக்களிடம் தமது சமாதியின் மேல் ஒரு வில்வ செடி தோன்றும் என்றும் ஜீவசமாதி ஆனதற்குப்பின் 12 ஆம்நாள் காசியிலிருந்து ஒரு பிராமணர் பாணலிங்கம் கொண்டு வருவார் என்றும் அந்தலிங்கத்தை சமாதிக்கு கிழக்கே 12 அடியில் பிரதிஷ்டை செய்யவேண்டும் என்றும் கூறிச்சென்றார். இவருடைய ஸித்தி வன்மையை யொட்டியே இவர் ஒரே காலத்தில் நெரூர், மானாமதுரை மற்றும் கராச்சியில் ஸமாதி அடைந்ததாகச் சொல்லப்படுகிறது. பாம்பின் கால் பாம்பறியும் என்று கூறுவதைப் போல மஹான்களின் போக்கும் மஹான்களுக்கே தெரியும். இந்த விஷயத்தை தக்ஷிணாம்நாய சிருங்கேரி ஶ்ரீசாரதாபீடத்தை அலங்கரித்த ஜகத்குரு ஶ்ரீ ஸச்சிதானன்ந்த சிவாபிநவ நரஸிம்ஹ பாரதீ மஹாஸ்வாமிகள், தமது விஜயயாத்திரை ஸந்தர்பத்தில் நெரூருக்கு விஜயம் செய்து மூன்று நாட்கள் ஶ்ரீபிரஹ்மேந்திரரின் ஸமாதியில் தியானத்தில் ஆழ்ந்து அவரை தரிசித்து அவர்மேல் ஸ்தோத்திரங்கள் இயற்றியது வரலாறு. அப்போது இவரை துதித்த சிருங்கேரி ஆசார்யார், மூன்று இடங்களிலுள்ள ஸமாதியைப் பற்றி ஸ்தூல-ஸூக்ஷ்ம-காரண சரீரங்களை மூன்று இடங்களில் பிரம்மேந்திரர் நீத்தார் என்று சொல்வது பொருந்துமென்று விளக்கினார். மேலும் அவரது சூக்ஷ்ம சரீரம் மானா மதுரையிலும், காரண சரீரம் காராச்சியிலும்( தற்போதைய பாகிஸ்தானில்) உள்ளது. அவ்வாறே பிராமணர் கொணர்ந்த பாணலிங்கம் பிரதிஷ்டை செய்யப்பட்டு புதுக்கோட்டை மஹாராஜாவினால் கோவிலும் கட்டப்பட்டது. அதுவே காசி விஸ்வநாதர் விசாலாக்ஷி கோவிலாகும். அன்று தொட்டு இன்றுவரை இக்கோவிலில் ஆகமபூஜைகளும் அதிஷ்டானத்தில் வைதிக பூஜைகளும் இடைவிடாமல் நிகழ்ந்து வருகின்றன.

ஒவ்வொரு ஆண்டும் அந்நாளில் சிறப்பான முறையில் அவருக்கு ஆராதனை விழா நடைபெற்று வருகிறது. மனித வாழ்க்கையின் உயர்நிலையை நாடுபவர்கள் அனைவரும் ஶ்ரீபிரஹ்மேந்திரரைக் குருநாதராகக் கொண்டு பயன்பெற்றுவருகிறார்கள்.

இன்றூ மங்களகரமான பராபவ வருடம் ஜப்பசி மாதம் 8ந் தேதி (25.10.2026) ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை சதுர்த்தசி திதியும், ரேவதி நக்ஷத்திரமும், அமிர்தயோகமும் கூடிய சுபயோக சுபதினத்தில் காலை 8.15 மணிக்கு மேல் 9.30 மணிக்குள், விருச்சிக லக்னத்தில், திருவருள் கூட்டி வைத்தவண்ணம் ஸ்ரீ சத்குரு ஸ்ரீசதாசிவ பிரம்மேந்திராள் அதிஷ்டானம் மற்றும் ஸ்ரீ காசி விஸ்வநாதர் - ஸ்ரீ விசாலாட்சி அம்மனுக்கு மஹாகும்பாபிஷேகம் என்னும் திருக்குட நன்னீராட்டுப் பெருவிழா நடைபெற்று ஆயிரக்கணக்கான பக்தகோடி பெருமக்கள் பெருந்திரளாகக் கலந்து கொண்டு, ஸ்ரீ விசாலாக்ஷி அம்பிகா சமேத ஸ்ரீ காசி விஸ்வநாதர் மற்றும் ஸ்ரீசதாசிவ பிரம்மேந்திராளின் திருவருள் பெற்று பேரானந்தம் அடைந்தனர்.

இவ்விழாவில் பல்வேறு முக்கியப் பிரமுகர்கள் கலந்து கொண்டு இறையருள் பெற்றனர். அவர்களில் முக்கியமாக தொண்டைமான் வம்சபரம்பரையினரான திரு சாருபாலா தொண்டைமான் கலநதுகொண்டு ஆசிபெற்றார். சர்வ சாதகம் சிவாகம செல்வர் D. சிவராஜ சிவாச்சாரியார் அவர்கள், அருள்மிகு ஸ்ரீரெத்னகிரீஸ்வர் ஆலய அர்ச்சகர் (அய்யர்மலை) D. சந்திரசேகர சிவாச்சாரியார் அவர்கள் ஸ்ரீ காசி விஸ்வநாதர் திருக்கோவில் அர்ச்சகர் (நெரூர்) K. நாகேந்திரகுமார் அவர்கள் ஸ்ரீசதாசிவ பிரம்மேந்திராள் ஆலய அர்ச்சகர் (நெரூர்) ஆகியோர் கும்பாபிஷேக யாகசாலை நிகழ்ச்சிகளை சிறப்பாக செய்தனர்.
