Dear Sri
Vidyasankar Ji,
Namaste.
The following is
from Guruparampara of Sri Kamakoti
Peetam.
<<
Sri Abhinava
Sankarendra Saraswati : He was one of the greatest
among the successors of Adi
Sankara, so great indeed that he and his deeds are often
confounded with those
of the Great Bhagavatpada and his deeds. His life story has
been described in
detail in a work entitled the "Sankara Vilasa" by
Vakpati Bhatta. His
father was one Visvajit of Chindambaram. He was invested
with Yajnopavita at
the age of five and taught Vedas. He showed an extraordinary
promise in
dialectics and soon he became a formidable disputant on
intricate questions in
philosophy. He defeated Vakpati Bhatta, a great scholar of
that time, in
argument. He ascended the Savajna Pitha in Kashmir. It is
said that he entered
the Dattatreya cave in the Atreya Mountains in the Himalayas
on Amavasya in the
month of Ashada of the cyclic year Slddharti (840 AD) and
that it was the end
of his mortal career. >>.
He has been listed
as the 38th Peethadhipathi
of the Mutt.
Just for
info.
Regards
