Sri Kigga Rishyashringeshwara Swami Devasthana - Sri Shantambika Pratishtha Shatamanotsava

It is well known that an inseparable and sacred bond exists between the temple of Sri Rishyashrungeshwara and the Sri Sharada Peetham at Sringeri. Revered as the Deity of Rain, Sri Rishyashrungeshwara is fervently worshipped during times of drought, and through such prayers, people have been blessed with timely rains and prosperity.

Around a hundred years ago, the region of Kigga faced severe tribulations and hardships. In response, the devout residents earnestly prayed to the then 34th Jagadguru of the Sharada Peetham, Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji, a Jivanmukta and an unparalleled Tapasvi. Moved by their prayers, the Jagadguru graciously directed that the consecration of Sri Shantamma be performed to the left of Sri Rishyashrungeshwara Swami, and that She be duly worshipped. His Holiness performed the Maha Kumbhabhishekam with His Lotus hands. Thereafter, the region witnessed the alleviation of all its afflictions.

Now, as the centenary of the consecration of Sri Shantamma is being observed, With the blessings of Sringeri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam, Jagadguru Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam will be performing the Brahma Kalashabhishekam to Sri Rishyashrungeshwara Swami and Sri Shantamma.

All aastikas are invited to participate in this sacred occasion and receive Guru Devata Anugraha.

Sri Shankara Jayanti Mahotsava 2025

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 Vishwavasu Samvatsara in Sringeri from April 28, 2025 to May 2, 2025. 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 51 years ago by the 35^th 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 (May 3, 2025), 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.
