62^nd Jagadguru Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi (IV) Swamigal of Sri Adi Shankara Paramparagatha Moolamnaya Sarvajna Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham – 240^th Aradhana

Purvashrama Details: Details not available for this Acharya possibly because during His time the Shrimatham shifted from Kanchipuram to Kumbakonam due to the Carnatic Wars going on near Kanchipuram, and some records could have been lost in such shifting.

Years as Pithadhipati: 37

Siddhi: 4883 Shubhakrit Pausha Krishna Dvitiya (CE 1783-Jan-20)

Siddhi Place: Kumbakonam

During Acharya swamigal’s time, Sri Matham was shifted to Kumbakonam with able assistance by the Udayarapalayam Jamin after travelling to Ananthasayanam, Palayamkottai, Ramanathapuram, Pudukottai and Jambukesvaram. As the customary right of the Sarvajna Peetham, Acharya Swamigal performed the Tatanka Prathishta of Goddess Akhilandeshwari. Acharya swamigal continued His Nishta and Sri Yoga Chandramoulishvara Pooja despite all these hurdles without fail. He composed Shivashtapadi similar to Jayadeva’s Ashtapadi on Lord Ekamranatha and Goddess Kamakshi’s Tapas to unite with the Lord.

चोल-केरल-चेरौड्र-पाण्ड्य-कर्णाट-कोङ्कणान् ।

महाराष्ट्रान्ध्र-सौराष्ट्र-मगधादींश्च भूभुजः

शिष्यान् आ-सेतु-शीताद्रि शासते पुण्य-कर्मणे ।

श्रीचन्द्रशेखरेन्द्राय जगतो गुरवे नमः

Obeisance to Jagaduru Chandrasekarendra, who guided his sishyas spread across Chozha, Chera, Pandya, Karnataka, Konkana, Maharashtra, Sourashtra and Magadha Deshas towards Punya Karma.
