Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sadas
The Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Sringeri is widely revered as the supreme authority in the Shastras. The annual Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sabha conducted for about 12 days during the Vinayaka Chaturthi festival is unmatched in the scholarship of the discussions, that take place entirely in Sanskrit under the presidentship of the Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Sringeri. Invitation to this Sabha is extended to about 50 of the brightest of the scholars across the country. The scholars deliberate for about an hour on a chosen topic in one of the four Shastras – Advaita Vedanta, Mimama, Vyakarana or Nyaya. The Sringeri Jagadguru is present throughout the 4-hour session everyday and mediates the discussions and delivers verdicts.
The following links contain the succinct Papers (Vakyartha) presented by the scholars on Shastraic concepts during the previous years’ sadas that took place under the presidentship of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji.
