Vidyatheertha Foundation

Sri Vidyatheertha Foundation was established in the year 1991, with the Blessings of His Holiness Sri Bharathi Theertha Mahaswamigal, Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri.  This Foundation was established to perpetuate the memory of  Sri Abhinava Vidyatheertha Mahaswamigal, who adorned the sacred Sringeri Sharada Peetham as its 35th Jagadguru.

Ever since its establishment, the Foundation  has been carrying out the following projects as per the directions of His Holiness, the Jagadguru of Sringeri Sri Sharada Peetham.

  1. Publishing books, CDs, DVDs containing the life and teachings of Sri Sringeri Jagadgurus and making these available  at a nominal price.
  2. Conducting inter-school and inter- collegiate competitions to inculcate moral, traditional and patriotic values in students.
  3. Providing financial assistance and scholarships to Veda Pathashalas and students of Vedas and Shastras
  4. Providing scholarships and regulate materials to deserving poor and orphaned students for their school education.  Currently little over hundred students are benefited from this scheme.

  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
