The Math

With the blessings of His holiness, Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Abhinava Vidyathirtha Mahaswamiji and under the able guidance of Sannidhanam Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Bharathi teertha Mahaswamiji, Gurusevaparayan Sri Sripad Ganesh Shetti donated the land of about 1.70 Acres.

Pranapratishta

Bhumi puja was performed and the foundation stone was laid on 18th December 1984. After completion of the construction of the Math the Kumbabhishek and Pranapratishta were performed by His holiness Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Abhinava Vidyathirtha Mahaswamiji on 26th May, 1989.  Thereafter His Holiness the Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Bharati teertha Mahaswamiji has graced this math on several occasions and the devotees.

Structure

The math, very artistically constructed as per the south Indian style of architecture having two big gopurams with golden Kalash. Beautiful statues from Indian mythology are carved on the gopurams and on the walls of the Sanctum Sanctorum.
As one enters the premises of the math having lush green lawn and beautiful flowering plants on either side of the path are welcomed by two elephant statues with puma kumbha. The grey white temple complex has a big hall in the middle and two temples each towards the left and right side. A huge verandah with beautiful flowering plants and greenery around presents a sense of peace and serenity.

Darshan of Deities

From the verandah,  we see the statue of lord Maheshwara, Devi Parvati and lord Ganesha. In front of them is the statue of Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya with four disciples.

Rangamantapam

Towards  left, is a six-sided rangamantapam supported by beautifully carved pillars- and across of it is the sanctum sanctorium of Goddess Sri Sharadamba- Vidyadayini and Jnanapradayini.

On the way is the huge hall decorated with beautiful chandeliers. The walls in the hall have photographs of the Jagadguru’s of Sringeri and Goddess Sharadamba. On the wall outside is mounted the paduka of the Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Bharati teertha Mahaswamiji. Devotees offer their pranams at the lotus feet and then take the steps to the sanctum sanctorum of Sri Adishankaracharya with the smiling face and having bright eyes,   in the form of a pure white marble statue. A shivalinga is also present in front of the acharya in line with famous Shloka Sankaram…Sankaracharyam.

  • 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
