Kalady’s Rediscoverer & Rediscovery - Part 3 | Sringeri Sharada Peetham:
"Continued from previous part …
During His Vijaya Yatras, the Mahaswamiji had observed with frustration the conspicuous absence of reverence and dedication towards Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya. After His return to Sringeri, the Mahaswamiji was thinking of what should be done to check the drifting away of the people of the land from their old moorings. More than a millennium ago, Sri Adi Shankaracharya had found the country in utter chaos due to conflicting creeds, diabolic superstitions and abominable practices in the name of religion; and with His indefatigable vigour, intelligence and charisma had brought about a renaissance of Sanatana Dharma. The Mahaswamiji now sought the great master’s support and guidance to repeat the same.
While these thoughts were revolving in His mind, the then Diwan of Mysore, Sri K. Seshadri Iyer, a very close disciple of Mahaswamiji came on a visit to Sringeri to pay his respects. The Guru then broached the subject to him."
