Yes, All True.Then what could be the reason for not naming his successor by Swami Swarupananda saraswathi??
if He is confident and agreed in principle that some one can leads the Mutt, he might have pre-announced or named the successor in the form of will after his departure.
More over, I learnt from source that he doesn't wants to name his successor (for Unknown reasons).
The earlier court dispute went onto for 10 odd yrs & declaring that swami swarupuanda is the care taker and he himself taking care of both dwaraka, & jyothirmayi peethams. Looks this will also a long legal battle over the years.

The dispute over the succession of Jyotirmath goes back to the mid-20th
century. I had hoped that after the recent patabhisheka of Swami
Sadananda for Dwarka and Swami Avimukteshwaranda for the Jyotirmath, the
whole mess would finally be over but apparently not.
During the original controversy, it was Karpatri Swami, the dean of the
Dashnami sannyasi community in Kashi, who adjudicated the dispute which
ended up with Swami Swarupananda become acharya of Dwarka and Jyotirmath.
This time, it was Swami Swarupananda himself who chose his successors and
the Dashanami akhadas feel that they should have been consulted again.
And Shringeri acharya performing the vidhi is also ruffling some feathers
because it is being seen as Shringeri asserting preeminence whereas all
amnaya maths are equal according to Govardhan math and therefore they
should have been consulted even if just as a formality.
That's my understanding of the situation anyway.
