Please forgive me for my ignorance but to my orthodox knowledge
Shankaracharya established four peethams. Although I know Kanchi peetham is
regarded as authoritative to some devotees. I have however never heard of
this Shankaracharya or peetham. Can someone please enlighten me.

Although I mean no disrespect I know there are a considerable amount of
"Swami's" who claim to be a Shankaracharya and want to know if there is any
authenticity or conspiracy regarding this particular one.

Re: Sreemath Hariharapura

Namaste,
Sringeri in the South, Puri in the East, Dwaraka in the west.
Joshimath(Badinath) is the list as per Madhaviya Shankara Vijaya for the
Amnaya Peethas. Pandit Nehru and Sir C.P.Ramaswamy Iyer also concur with
this list.

Please find reference for Hariharapura mutt which is given in official
Sringeri website.

"Under Sri Vidyaranya’s direction, the emperors made endowments to Mutts
founded by him or by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha in different parts of South
India, some of which rose to importance as branches of the Sringeri Sharada
Peetha or as subordinate monastic establishments. Prince Chikka Raya
(afterwards Virupaksha I) made a grant to Satyatirtha of Muniyur Mutt which
marks the origin of the Sakatapuram or Bandigade Mutt.

*Hariharapura, an agrahara about six miles from Sringeri was founded by
Harihara II, and Sri Ramachandra Saraswathi was the first Acharya of the
Mutt established there.* The Tirthamuttur Mutt (Tirthahalli taluk) and the
Kudali Mutt also came into existence some centuries later under the guidance
and encouragement of the Sringeri Gurus and the emperors. The agraharas of
Sringapura and Vidyaranyapura were laid out by Harihara II"

Re: Sreemath Hariharapura

Dear List Members,

My family and I were fortunate enough to meet the Swamigal of Sri Hariharapuram last August during the
Chaturmasya period where Swamigal was observing the vrata in Adyar, Chennai in the Sri
Ananthapadmanabha Swami Temple. Swamigal performed Navavarna Puja every day from about 6-9 PM and gave
phala mantrakshata to the gathered devotees. Sri Lakshmi Nrisimha Swami is reverentially worshiped in
the Matha along with Sri Sharada Parameshwari. 

I believe the Sthala Purana of the kshetra says that Sri Hariharapuram is the spot where Daksha Prajapati
performed many Yagnyas and hence, it is beneficial for us to perform any homas/shantis/yagnyas in this
punya kshetra as well.

Regards,

Sriram Nagaraj

Re: Sreemath Hariharapura


The name Sankaracharya has become a title, more so within the last 100 years or
so than ever before. There is a Matha at Karavir (near Kolhapur) in Maharashtra,
the Ramachandrapura and Swarnavalli Sonda Mathas in Karnataka (associated with
the Havyaka Brahmin community) and many other traditional institutions within the 
Advaita tradition. All these Mathadhipati-s are also titled Sankaracharya-s.

The Hariharapura Matha is perhaps one of the oldest branches of Sringeri Peetham.
Hariharapura is a village very close to Sringeri and many successive heads of this
Matha have had "Swayamprakasha" included in their dIksha names.

Regards,
Vidyasankar

Re: Sreemath Hariharapura

Hari OM,

There are also some other maThAs that the jagatgurus of Sringeri have helped
set up for particular communities such as the Chitrapur maTha of the
Saraswat community at Shirali, or the daivajna maTha at Karki, vaishya maTha
at Haldipur, etc.

The Havyaka maThas mentioned by Vidyasankarji are also followed by
Ramakshatriyas, Sheeligas, Siddhis, Marathis, Goulis, Bhandaris and Kunbis.

praNAm,

Re: Sreemath Hariharapura

Namaste,

Yes,  the Tercentenary year (2008-2009) of the Chituapur Saraswat Math  was celebrated recently. To my
knowledge the Math was without a guru for close to half a century, when their  guru at his old age,  left
Goa  for Varanasi due to the atrocities of the Portuguese government and neither he could return nor  he
could  appoint his successor before leaving Goa. The Sringeri math helped that community to have a new
guru ordained at that time three centuries ago. Again towards the end of the twentieth century the
previous guru passed away at his young age without nominating a successor and the Sringeri Math helped in
ordination of a new guru, respected Sadyojat Sankarashramji, Probably he too qualifies to be called a Sankaracharya.

Re: Sreemath Hariharapura

Namaste

I heard from  Goa Christian converted from Saraswat Brahmin few
generations back. There were villages of Saraswats experts in Vedas.
The Portuguese locked all women and children in a church and converted
 the men with guns.

Today the North East India is heavily converted to Christianity. West
Bengal has more than 25% Muslims. One Bangalee friend told me in 1970s
and 1980s his father in Kolkata did not see many Muslims in cricket
matches. Now my friend goes to a cricket match. He has seen huge
number of Muslims in spectators. Same story in Assam.

The 2010 Census will show very bad results but the Government will
cover up as usual.

Re: Sreemath Hariharapura

The present pIThAdhipathi of Hariharapura Mutt is a Master's Degree holder
in Technology.  Soon after education and a short stint with jobs, he landed
at Sringeri and spent a couple of years at Narasimhavanam, on the other side
of the Tunga, where the Jagadguru's abode is situated.  The Hariharapura
Mutt was empty of a Pontiff for a few years and the Sringeri Jagadguru
nominated this young person to the Mutt and that is how he is now the Head
at Hariharapura.

He is a sincere sadhaka and a dynamic person involved in mass movements.
His 'shivadeekshA' programme is a great initiative where  Hindus, cutting
across caste divisions, have been included in the deekshA.  He often visits
Chennai where he has a good following. Smarta Brahmins belonging to the
ShivaLLi sect owe allegiance to this Mutt, traditionally.  Hariharapura is a
serene place to spend time in spiritual practices.  It has facility for
interested people for staying.  Sri Viswanathan, the Administrator, is an
amiable person, always helpful to seekers.
