Sringeri Mutt as a fostering of Religious and Spiritual Institution
When peace eludes you, when the world is too much for you, when the fever of life torments you, go to Sringeri”, is the introduction to this holy place in the Sri Sharada Pitha’s book, “The greatness of Sringeri”. Set in a picturesque locale, surrounded by mountains and forests, the Tunga gently flowing in a serpentine Tashion is this little town - Sringeri. ‘Tattvaloka’ a monthly publication published an interview with the current Pontiff of Sringeri, Sri Bharati Teertha.This is the tapobhumi of the great sages Vibhandaka and Rishyasringa . There is sanctity in the earth upon which a great saint has trodden. How much greater Sannidhya would attach to a place in which they have lived. Sringeri has been blessed by these rishis. That this place has radiant energy as well as great purity was also seen by Shankara”. Sri Adi Shankaracharya is credited with establishing the ‘Dakshinamnaya’ Sri Sharadapitha at Sringeri and appointing -Sri Sureshwaracharva as the first Mathadipati. Since its inception the succession of gurus in the Pitha is regular and uninterrupted. Though historical evidence of the first nine gurus have not been un¬earthed as yet, literary works like Guruvamshakavya of Kashi Lakshman Shastry and Gadyavallari from distant land of Bihar mention lineage and they are remarkably similar.
