“According to Shasttras, Taking birth as a human being is a great thing. But one has to strive to make use of the opportunity. I am blessed to receive infinite blessings of Guru and keen to lead a life aligned with Shastras. I am happy to receive Sansyasa and I would deliver my responsibilities with the blessings of my Guru”

Vidhu is a synonym for Chandra -Sri Vidhushekahra Bharathi has been selected to remember Sri.

Jagadguru Sri. Bharathi Theertha Mahaswamiji announced the decision to annoint Sri. Kuppa Venkateshwara Prasad as his successor designate in a public meeting held on 4th January 2015 at Sringeri. (See Press release )
The 36th Jagadguru Sri. Bharathi Theertha made the announcement as ordained by Goddess Sri. Sharada, continuing the unbroken tradition of Sanatana Dharma. When establishing this Peetham about 1200 years ago in Sringeri, Sri Adi Shankaracharya consecrated the idol of Goddess Sharada (the Goddess of Learning and Knowledge) and invoked Her divine presence and blessings to ever preside over this Peetham. Since then, the Jagadguru Shankaracharyas of Sringeri have always announced their successor only after Goddess Sharada’s divinely ordained-will is revealed to them.
