Important Announcement pertaining to 
Sringeri Math participation in Pran-Pratishtha at Ayodhya

January 18, 2024

As per the directive of Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sharada Peethadheeshwara His Holiness Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, the CEO and Administrator of Sringeri Math, Sri VR Gowrishankar will represent the Peetham in the Prana-pratishtha event on January 22, 2024 at sacred Ayodhya.

The Sringeri Math reiterates the appeal made in the earlier announcement dated January 8, 2024 to only note information made available through our official website and social media platforms.

Republic World has published an article dated January 18, 2024 titled “Sringeri Math Shankaracharya to Attend Ram Mandir Pran Pratistha”. The  wrong information conveyed in the article must be immediately rectified.

This article has wrongly referred to the Kudali Math as the Sringeri Math, used a photograph of the Sringeri Shankaracharya of Sringeri Math and is misleading the public that the Shankaracharya of Sringeri Math will be attending the Ayodhya event.

It has to be noted that the Kudali Math located near Shivamogga is neither the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham nor is it referred to as Sringeri Math. It is rather only an independently-functioning branch Math of the Sringeri Math.

The media is requested to avoid such lapses and not mislead the public.

As instructed by the Shankaracharya of Sringeri Math, all Astikas are requested to perform Japa of Rama Taraka Mantra and chant the Rama Bhujanga Stotra composed by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya and be a recipient of Bhagavan Sri Ramachandra’s grace on this sacred occasion.


 
  • 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
