On the auspicious Vijaya Dashami day of the Shubhakrit Samvatsara, (October 5, 2022) Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam and Jagadguru Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam worshipped the Panchaloha Murti of Jaganmaata Sri Sharadamba to be installed in a new Goddess Sharada temple at the town of Teetwal near the LoC in Kashmir. Sri Ravinder Pandita and other members of Sharada Yatra (Sarvajna Peeth) Temple Committee, Kashmir received the Panchaloha Murti of Sri Sharadamba from Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam.
Talking on the occasion Sringeri Math CEO, Sri VR Gowrishankar mentioned that this new temple is the pride of all followers of Sanatana Dharma and it is the duty of every follower of Sanatana Dharma to support this noble project. He also added that around 1200 years ago, Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya visited Kashmir and ascended the Sarvajna Peetham – the throne of omniscience. Sri Adi Shankaracharya also worshipped Jyeshteshwara Shivalinga and this temple is located on a hill that is called Shankaracharya hill even today. He added that efforts are being made to organise a regular Yatra to the sacred Sarvajna Peetham of Sri Sharadamba that is presently located in PoK. He also said that the Kumbhabhisheka of the new Sharadamba temple will take place in 2023 with the blessings of the Sringeri Jagadgurus.
