Sri Adi Sankara, after his Digvijaya Yatras of Bharatvarsha, settled in Mokshapuri Kanchi and established the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam in 482 B.C. for himself, as his own Matham. Thus the Great Sankara Bhagavadpada, the Lord himself, was the first Acharya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam and from then on until today, an unbroken lineage of Peetadhipathis have adorned this Peetam. Sankara Bhagavatpada established four Aamnaya Peetams in the four corners of Bharatavarsha. Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, with Adi Sankara as the first Acharya, supervised over the other peetams and thus was called the Moolamnaya Peetam. Kamakoti means the end to all desires. The kshetram, the place where the Peetam is situated, is called Satyavrata Kanchi. The reigning god and goddess of this kshetram are Ekambaranathar and Devi Kamakshi. The teertham or the name of the river on the banks of which the Matham is situated is Kampasara, because the river Kampa flows beneath the Ekambaranathar temple as Antharvani, meaning invisible. The Veda for the Matham is Rig Veda. The Peetam is presently graced by the 69th Acharya, Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal and the 70th Acharya, Sri Sankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamigal. Adhishtanam: The earlier Acharyas who attained videha mukti have been interred in adhishtanams. When such a Sankaracharya or a realised soul attains mukti, his jivatma (individual consciousness) is supposed to have merged with the paramatma (absolute consciousness). However, even so, a fraction of this individual consciousness is said to continue to remain in his body, even as the rest merges with the absolute. The body thus is interred into a pit, a construction is built above it and a sacred tulsi plant or a Shiva lingam planted on top of this construction. This is called a brindavan or an adhishtanam. Since these adhishtanams continue to contain a portion of the individuals consciousness, they continue to radiate their blessings for all eternity. Bhaktas who pray even now in these sacred environs have always experienced their grace and blessings. Daily poojas are performed at the adhishtanam. On the anniversary of the videha mukti of that Sankaracharya, a special pooja called the Aradhana is performed. This calendar lists the individual Aradhana dates of the illustrious Acharyas of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam. On the back of each page are found brief summaries of their lives to help us remember and pay obeisance to them on their Aradhana thithi. Guru Droham: Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal, Periyaval, recounted an incident where a person had approached the Paramacharya, beset with problems. The Paramacharya however, refused to meet him and explained this persons background. This person had a personal Guru with whom he was very close. His Guru had various devotees, one of whom was an old widow. She had a few hundred rupees that she had saved for carrying out her last rites. She had requested this Guru to hold the money in safe keeping. The Guru in turn, gave the money to this person who used it in his business without the Gurus knowledge. After a few months, the widow started pestering the Guru to return her money as she felt that her end was near and that she needed to entrust this money to one of her relatives to carry out her last rites. The Guru in turn asked this person to return the money, but he didnt. The widow used to abuse the Guru every day and eventually died. So did the Guru, who never got the money back from this person. The curse of this Guru was the reason of the persons downfall. I too cant suggest any Pariharam as there is none available, concluded the Paramacharya. A Sishya insulting another persons Guru ends up earning his own Gurus curse. A misguided devotee who wished to show his Adi Gurus supremacy over Adi Sankara himself, created a monument showing his Adi Guru as the first Guru in the Kanchi Guru Parampara. This unfounded history earned the ire of Adi Sankara devotees, who mutilated the Adi Gurus monument. Thus in his enthusiasm to prove the supremacy of his Adi Guru, he had blemished his Gurus name. Later, as a token of expiation for this sin, he built a separate temple for his Adi Guru. We pray that the blessings of Sri Mahatripurasundari sameetha Chandramouleswara be showered on one and all.

Adi Sankara Bhagvadpadacharya (509 BC - 477 BC) along with his disciples sruti smriti purananam alayam karunalayam namami bhagavatpadam sankaram lokasankaram
The compassionate Guru Dakshinamurthi himself descended on this earth to destroy the Ajnana that had spread and to re-establish the truth of Advaita. His advent was at Kaladi, Kerala to the blessed namboodri couple Sivaguru and Aryambal on Vaishaka Shukla Panchami, Punarvasu Nakshatra, Nandana Samvatsara, 509BC. His miraculous life span of 32 years has been summarized in a couplet: ashtavarshe chaturvedo, dwadashe sarvashastravith shodashe krithavan bhashyam, dvatrimsho munirabhyagath Mastery over the four Vedas by his eighth year and all Sastras by his twelfth year, the advaitic rendition of the Brahma Sutras, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita by his sixteenth year - accomplishments impossible for an ordinary mortal, the Acharya, in his short life span swept like a tornado not once, but thrice through Bharata Varsha. He uprooted many heresies and re-established the pristine truth of Advaita. Here in Kanchipuram, Adi Sankara ascended the sarvagnya peetam in the precints of the Kamakshi Temple. Then, settling down at Kanchi, he founded the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam over which he himself presided and we now have an uninterrupted lineage of 70 Sankaracharyas presiding this illustrious Peetam. In his thirty second year, he attained Videha Mukti in the presence of Kamakshi, the Brahmavidya swaroopini. Adi Sankaras akshara-abhyasa was performed when he was three years old, his brahmopadesam when he was just five. Sankara, a sruthidhara able to recite any work after hearing it only once, had in span of just two years, mastered all the scriptures and returned home from the Gurukul. At the age of eight, young Sankara, left home after taking permission from his mother promising to be at her bedside during her last stages. Sankara met his Guru, Govinda Bhagavatpada, who initiated him into sanyasa on the banks of the Narmada River. On completing his learning under his Guru, Sankara authored Bhashyas, Prakarnagranthas and stotras He also received darshan and blessings of his Paramaguru, Gaudapada. In the process of his Digvijay yatras, Sankara uprooted Buddhism, Jainism, Sankhya and Mimamsa systems of thought and firmly re-established Advaita Vedanta in the land. Adi Sankara established four main Mathas in the four corners of the country to spread the message of Advaita Vedanta. These are at Jyothir Mutt in the north near the Himalayas, on the island of Dwaraka by the western sea, at Jagannatha on the shores of the eastern sea, and finally, in the south at Kudali- Sringeri, at the confluence of Tunga and Bhadra rivers. He established the combined worship of the six deities i.e. Siva, Vishnu, Ambika, Surya, Vinayaka and Subrahmanya and was therefore called as Shanmatha Sthapanacharya. Going to Mahakailash, Sankara obtained five spatika lingams and the Soundaryalahari. Sankara installed these five lingams - the Mukti-Lingam, Vara-Lingam, Moksha-Lingam, Bhoga-Lingam and Yoga-Lingam in Badrinath, Neelakanta Kshetram (Nepal), Chidambaram, Kudali-Sringeri and Kanchipuram respectively. In his short life span, the Acharya succeeded in reviving temple worship and Advaita Vedanta in every corner of the land. The Acharya was the rarest union of Sage and Saint; of Philosopher and Devotee; of Mystic and Logician; of Original Writer and Commentator; of Traditionalist and Innovator; of Establisher and Integrator; of total renunciation and Intense Activity, all characterizing the loftiest of Gurus to have graced our land.

Jayadeva has celebrated the victory of Chandrasekhara over Hemacharya in his Bhakti Kalpalatika. Jayasimha, King of Kashmir, considered himself blessed in the service of this great Acharya. He attained mukti at Arunachala Kshetra. 40 Sri Mahadevendra Saraswati : He was the son of one Kannayya, a native of Karnataka. His poorvasrama name was Sivaramabhatta.

He attained mukti at Kanchi. 1 Sri Sankara Bhagavatpada : On reaching Kanchi, after the digvijaya tours, Sri Sankaracharya settled down at Kanchi, and established a Mutt for his own residence. He gave sanyasa diksha to a very young boy of Thambaravarni valley, and named him Sarvajnatman. He also nominated him as successor Acharya of the Kanchi Sankaracharya Mutt under the care of Sri Suresvaracharya. A long line of unbroken erudite and pious Acharyas have adorned the Kamakoti Peetam since then. Some of the most famous in this line of Acharyas are Sri Krpa Sankara, Sri Muka Sankara, Sri Abhinava Sankara, Sri Paramasivendra Saraswati, Sri Bhodhendra Saraswati and the world renowned 68th Acharya, Pujyasri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swamigal (Maha Periyaval). Adi Sankara took to sanyasa directly from Brahmacharya asrama. The same order is being followed till now where the Head of the Mutt is selected from Brahmacharis only. The Acharyas of Kamakoti Peetam have the title Indra-SaraswatiThe Acharyas themselves perform the daily tri-kala pooja to Sri Chandramau. leeswara. 39 Sri Sacchidvilasendra Saraswati : He was the son of Kamaleswara of Kanyakubja and was known by the name Sripati before sanyasa.

A great votary of Gauri, through divine grace of God, he obtained extraordinary literary powers. He wrote commentaries on the Sankara Bhashyas and Sureswaracharyas Vartikas. He attained mukti at Sri Saila. 3 Sri Sarvajnatmendra Saraswati : After having conquered the leaders of many heretic sects prevalent in many parts of India, Sri Sankara Bhagavatpada reached Kanchi, the southern Mokshapuri to spend the evening years of His life in that holy city. One of the famous incidents of Sri Sankaras stay at Kanchi is his Sarvajna Peetarohanam or ascending the seat of Omniscience. On knowing about this, scholars from various parts of the Tamil regions gathered at Kanchi to witness the grand event. Among those, a band of scholars from Brahmadesam and its neighborhood had a debate with the Acharya on Deva bedha, Moorthy bedha, etc. By his clear exposition of the Advaita doctrine, the Acharya silenced their arguments. After the successful ascending of the Sarvajna Peeta, Sri Sankara was attracted by a boy of 7 summers. He sent word for the parents of the boy. They came with their son and bowed before Sri Sankara. Then the great Acharya expressed His wish to nominate the little boy as his successor to the Kanchi Peetam. The parents greatly rejoiced and agreed to the Acharyas proposal. Thereafter the Acharya initiated the boy into sanyasa asrama, gave him the diksha name of Sarvajnatman. The Bala Sanyasi was put under the care of Sri Sureswaracharya. Sri Sarvajnatman presided over the Sri Kanchi Sankaracharya Mutt for a long number of years. He wrote a lucid summary or rather a further commentary on Sri Sankaras Sutra Bashya. Sri Sarvajnatmans commentary is known as The Samkshepa Sareeraka. It is also said that he is the author of a poetical thesis called Sarvajna Vilasa. The Samkshepa Sareeraka of Sri Sarvajnatman contains 1267 verses couched in elegance and easy style. After an eventful and glorious career Sri Sarvajnatman attained videha mukthi in Kanchi.

After a long and eventful career and having been the author of the Vaathika on Sankaras Brhadaranyopanishad Bhashya and having authored the famous philosophical treatise known as Naishkarmya-Sidhi, Sri Sureswaracharya cast off his mortal remains at Kanchi, the southern Mokshapuri. The presence of a street till recently under the name of Mandana Misra Agraharam, and the presence of a stone icon of Sri Sureswaracharya inside the Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Sankaracharya Mutt (which is in daily worship) confirm the connection of Sri Sureswaracharya with Kanchi Sankara Mutt and his videha mukthi at Kanchi.

57 Sri Paramasivendra Saraswati : He was the son of Parameswara, native of a village on the bank of the river Pampa. He was known as Sivaramakrishna before sanyasa. He was the Guru of the great Sadasiva Brahmendra, the author of the Gururatna Malika and was a great Brahma Jnani. The greatness of Paramasivendra may be gauged from the fact that Sadasiva Brahmendra used to carry the sandals of the Acharya always on his head. And the greatness of Sadasiva Brahmendra may also be understood by an incident, which is recounted in popular tradition. Sadasiva steeped in the bliss of Brahman, was wandering about as an Avadhuta, to all appearances like a mad man. Some one reported to Paramasivendra that Sadasiva had gone mad. The Acharya is reported to have answered I wish I had but a touch of that madness So great indeed . was Paramasivendra that Sadasiva Brahmendra has immortalized him in his Atma Vidya Vilasa. This Acharya wrote a commentary on Siva Gita. He attained mukti at Svetaranya (Tiruvenkadu) in Tanjore District. 29 Sri Purnabhodhendra Saraswati : He was the son of Sripati. His former name was Krishna. He attained mukti at Kanchi. 20 Sri Muka Sankarendra Saraswati : He was the son of one Vidyavati, an astrologer and astronomer. He was a deaf-mute from birth. But through the grace of Goddess Kamakshi he gained the power of speech. On knowing this attainment of speech by Muka because of the grace of Devi, the then Acharya of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, Sri Vidyaghana, sent for the boys parents and told them of his intention of giving sanyasa to the boy and, with their consent, ordained him as his successor in the Kamakoti Mutt. Vikramaditya Sakari of Ujjain, Matrugupta, some time king of Kashmir, and Pravarasena, who succeeded Matrugupta on the throne, all considered it a rare privilege to serve at the feet of this great Acharya. Muka Sankara is the author of Muka Panchasati, a lyrical flow of poetry on Kamakshi. The mellifluence of the work is said to be rivaled only by Lila Sukas Krishna Karnamrta. He attained mukti at a village near Godavari. 21 Sri Chandrachudendra Saraswati : He was a native of Konkan and the son of Achyuta. He succeeded Muka Sankara as the Pontiff of the Kamakoti Peetam and attained mukti at Banares. 24 Sri Chitsukhendra Saraswati : He was a native of Konkan and was known as Siva Sarma before sanyasa. All through his pontificate, he remained in Konkan and attained mukti near Ratnagiri.

59 Sri Bhagavannama Bhodhendra Saraswati : He was born in Mandana Misra Agraharam at Kanchi as the son of one Kesava Panduranga. Bhodendras former name was Purushottama. It was he that stressed the efficacy of devotion as a means to liberation in Kaliyuga. He therefore undertook the great task of Nama Siddhanta, or establishing the supreme efficacy of reciting the names of Bhagavan in many of his writings, chiefly in Namamrta Rasayana and Namamrta Rasodaya. His mission of Nama Siddhanta was pursued with equal vigour by Sridhara Venkatesa, or Ayyaval of Tiruvisainallur and by Sadguru Swami of Marudanallur. It was the Nama Siddhanta of Bodhendra that was ultimately responsible for the evolution of Bhajana Sampradaya as an institution in the religious life of the Hindu community in South India. Bodhendra performed Tatanka Pratistha at Jambukeswaram and while returning to Kanchi he attained videha mukti at Govindapuram in the year 1692. It is believed that the spiritual presence of Bodhendra still abides at his Adhisthana at Govindapuram. It is said that in the calm silence of the night a melodious voice uttering Rama Nama is heard rising from subdued tones to a crescendo, and then fading into silence again. 33 Sri Sacchidanandaghanendra Saraswati : Otherwise known as Bhaskara Paramesthi. He was the son of one Praudha Ramanna, a native of a village on the bank of the Chandrabhaga. His former name was Timmanna, and he was a versatile linguist. He carried out extensive repairs to the Mutt buildings at Kanchi and attained mukti at Kanchi. 44 Sri Purnabhodhendra Saraswati : His father was Siva, a native of Karnataka region. His name in the former ashrama was Hari. He attained videha mukti at Kanchi.

It fell to the lot of Krpa Sankara to continue and perfect the noble work that Sri Adi Sankara had initiated. Krpa Sankara pursued with great vigour, the work of the Master and enhanced the greatness of Shanmatas introducing a chastened mode of worshiping Ganapati, Skanda, Siva, Vishnu, Ambika and Surya. In short, he prepared the ground for the growth of the devotional path to be attempted in the future by Saiva Nayanars. These later Saiva and Vaishnava religious reformers owe a lot to both Adi Sankara and Krpa Sankara. Their work was rendered easier by the preliminary religious reforms effected by the two great luminaries. He is said to have attained mukti at a place near Vindhya region. 42 Sri Brahamanandaghanendra Saraswati : He was the son of one Subramanya. He was known by the name Narasambhatta prior to sanyasa. He attained mukti at Kanchi. 49 Sri Mahadevendra Saraswati : He was the son of Achyuta of Chhayavanam in the Tanjore District. His former name was Gurumurthi. He was a devout worshipper of Parasakti but not a tantrik. He attained mukti on the banks of Gadilam River. 58 Sri Atma Bhodhendra Saraswati : He was a native of Vruddhachala, and son of one Viswamakhi. His pre-sanyasa name was Visvesvara. He toured extensively and stayed at Benares for a long time. He wrote a Bhasya on the Sri Rudram. It was Atma Bodha that directed Sadasiva Brahmendra to write the Gururatna Malika. He attained mukti on the banks of the river South Pinakini, known in Tamil as Then Pennai. 28 Sri Mahadevendra Saraswati : He was the son of Bhahu Misra, a native of Bhadrachala. His pre-sanyasa name was Sesanarayana. He was a Maithila Brahmana domiciled in Andhradesa. He attained mukti at Kanchi. 18 Sri Yogatilaka Surendra Saraswati : He was a native of Maharashtra and the son of one Madhava. He vanquished the notorious Charwivaka Durdivi by argument.

He was a Dravida Brahmana. He attained mukti at Kanchi. 8 Sri . Kaivalya Ananda Yogendra Saraswati : A native of Tirupati in Andhra, he was known as Manganna before sanyasa. He was the son of Trailinga Sivayya. He attained mukti at Kanchi. 37 Sri Vidyaghanendra Saraswati : He was the son of Balachandra. His former name was Suryanarayana. He attained mukti at Chidambaram, where he had gone on a pilgrimage. 62 Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati : Kanchi was involved in the Karnatic wars and peaceful existence there had become impossible. Hence the Acharyas of Kamakoti Peetam decided on migrating south though Kanchi still figured as the nominal headquarters. The golden image of Kamakshi (Bangaru Kamakshi) had already been carried away by the sthanikas of the temple first to Udayarpalayam, and later to Tanjore where it has been permanently installed. The Acharya Chandrasekhara himself acceded to the request of Pratapa Simha, Rajah of Tanjore (1740-63) and took up his permanent headquarters at Tanjore. But Kumbakonam, on the banks of the sacred river Kaveri, was found more suitable and shortly thereafter the Acharya shifted to Kumbakonam. Chandrasekhara attained mukti at Kumbakonam.
