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.

  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
