Kalady’s Rediscoverer & Rediscovery - Part 1 | Sringeri Sharada Peetham:
"A Profile of the Great Re-discoverer
Jagadguru Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati Mahaswamiji, the 33rd Jagadguru in the unbroken chain of Acharyas of Sringeri Sri Sharada Peetham is hailed as the re-discoverer of Kalady.
Owing to a number of similarities between His life and the life of Sri Adi Shankaracharya, He was universally hailed as an Avatar of Sri Shankara. Just like the great philosopher saint, He too was initiated into Sannyasa by His Guru at the tender age of eight. A look at His biography would indicate that the incidents that occurred during His first meeting with His Guru and the first day of His Sannyasa were certainly a harbinger to the remarkable life that He was about to lead. Having ascended the Peetham as the 33rd Acharya in 1879, the Mahaswamiji spent the first few years in intense Tapas at Sringeri. The Mahaswamiji undertook three long Vijaya Yatras to foster Dharma in the minds of people. Just as Adi Shankaracharya, the Mahaswamiji during His Yatras consecrated many temples instituting the Vedic procedure for worship. Sringeri itself had a remarkable transformation during the time of the Mahaswamiji."
