[KAMESWARARAO MULA]

Dear Members,

                              A Renunciate Par Excellence !!Jagaduru Shri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji Gave Sanyasa Deeksha To Brahmachari Shrinivas Shastri On 22-5-1931 And Appinted This Young Sanyasi As The Successor To Sringeri Sharada Peetham. The Young Sanyasi Was Conferred With The Yogapatta As "Abhinava Vidyateertha".Jagadguru Shri Abhinava Vidyateertha Mahaswamiji Was Only 14 Years Of Age On The Day Of Sanyasa. On The Day Of Shishya Sweekara, As Per The Sampradaya Of The Mutt, "Pallakki Utsava" Of Ubhaya Jagadgurus Was To Be Performed. Golden Pallakki (Palanquin)) For Mahasannidhanam And Silver Pallakki For Sri Sannidhanam.Jagadguru Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahasannidhanam Started Going Towards Pallakki With Jagadguru Shri Abhinava Vidyateertha Sri Sannidhanam. As Soon As Both Reached Pallakki, To Everybody's Surprise (Shock) Jagadguru Shri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahasannidhanam Sat In Silver Pallakki And Directed Sri Sannidhanam To Sit In Golden Pallakki. Mutt Officials And Senior Pundits Tried To Convince Shri Mahasannidhanam But They Failed.!!Jagadguru Mahasannidhanam Said "From Today Whatever Respect And Royal Emblems That Has To Be Given To The Peetham Should Be Given To Sri Sannidhanam".From The Day Of Appointing His Uttaradhikari, Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamin Went In Solitude For Most Part Of His Remaining Life And Carried On Severe Penance
