About
Sri Sri Sachhidanand Jnaneshwar Bharati Mahaswami
In the year 1977, a great soul which in the future was to lead the Daivajna Brahmin community to fulfill the dreams of ancient Daivajna Brahmins took birth in Karki. VedmurthyRamachandraMahableshwarBhat, practicing religious activities, very honest, simple, and humble and SmtTarabai were the parents of this child who was their third son.
This child was shining with brilliance right from birth and hence some elders had predicted that the child would be a great personality in the future. Having seen the horoscope of the child, the father Sri RamchandraBhat knew the great future of the child but he kept this fact within himself. Without much pomp and glory, the child which took birth in a simple house was named Ramesh.
Even though the child developed in a simple environment, he was always involved in meditation and religious activities in the company of his father. While in primary school, he was assisting father in religious activities during his free time. Always chanting the Gayatri mantra, thinking about religious aspects, and trying to learn unknown things from his father, it appeared as if the child is getting ready for the great future. Rather than spending time on play, entertainment, etc like common children, he was showing more interest in the company of his father performing religious activities. He never showed interest in fun frolic like other common children.
Sri Sri Sachhidanand Jnaneshwar Bharati Mahaswami
When the child was 8 years old, he was selected as the future Swamiji of the first Daivajna Brahmin Math. Knowing his great inner strength, the parents sacrificed him for the great deed of developing the Daivajna Brahmin community. On 27.06.1985, in the Darbar Hall of Udupi, in the presence of Sri PejavarMathadhish, the thread ceremony of Chi Ramesh was organized as per all religious norms. Shri PejavarMathadhish blessed Chi Ramesh with Sri Krishna mantropadesh.
Further in April 1986, The Swamiji of Hampi Virupaksha Vidyaranya Peetha Srimad Jagadguru Madabhinvoddandh Nrasinh Bharati Swamiji of Shankar Bhagavatpadacharya tradition bestowed Sri Swamiji with Sanyas Deeksha and named him Sri Sri Sacchidanand Jnaneshwar Swami. Jagadguru Bharatiteerth Mahaswamiji of Sri Kshetra Shrangeri Dakshinamnay Sharadapeeth incarnated (Pathabhishekam) Sri Swamiji in May 1998. As if the good fortune of thousands of years, from good old days, Daivajna Brahmins developed in sanatan culture were gifted with the first-ever smiling to blossom pleasing fragrance in the community. Swamiji blessed all the Daivajna Brahmins as the first Guru maybe this is the first of the good deeds of their ancestors.
During Akhil Bharat Daivajna Brahmin seminar (1994), Sri BalachandraShastriji mentioned in his speech as follows: we have given education to many Peethadhipatis. But it is rare to see a student like Sri SriSacchidanandJnaneshawr Swamiji who is extraordinary. We are very proud of him. At this, the audience expressed pleasure with thunderous applause. Words of Shastriji indicate the extraordinary personality of the Sage (Yativarya). Acquiring vast knowledge, Sri came back to Durvapur. He occupied the religious seat and took charge of the responsibilities of Math. As per the advice of BalachandraShastriji, he started studying further under the guidance of Sri BrahmarshiVidvan Narayan ShastriBacchan who is a student of Dharwad Vidyapeeth.
After taking charge of the Math, Sri has been very active to unite all the Daivajna Brahmins for the overall development of community and Math.
He visited several religious places in the country which enabled him to increase the treasure of his knowledge with strength of the soul. Besides Karnataka, he has visited many places in Goa, Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamilnadu and has delivered effective speeches which have led to new waves of awareness among Daivajna Brahmins. Shri Swamiji has profound knowledge of Sanskrit, Kannada, Konkani, and Marathi languages.
He possesses sufficient proficiency in Hindi and English languages also. Wherever he visits, there will be thousands of devotees for his darshan, which speaks volumes about the great popularity he has received in a very short period.
The Pattabhishek ceremony of the worshipful Sri which took place on 18.05.1998 is a memorable day. On this day, Sri Sri Bharati Theerth Mahaswamiji of Shrangeri Dakshinmnay SharadaPeeth Jagadguru blessed our Swamiji and renamed him Sri Sri Sacchidanand Jnaneshwar Bharati Swamiji.
It is not surprising that the genuine strength and elegance of Sanatan culture of thousands of years has completely descended in the form of ever-smiling, most humble Sri Sri Sachhidanand Jnaneshwar Bharati Mahaswami. Maybe to get such a noble personality as Swamiji for Daivajna Brahmins, there was a long delay. With the extraordinary radiance and heavenly splendor of Sri Sachhidanand Jnaneshwar Bharati Mahaswami, very soon Daivajna Brahmin samaj will prosper and Sri Math will spread the essence of Sanatan culture and will no doubt be a very prominent Math. Even though Sri Math is Daivajna Brahmin Math, people from other communities are attracted by the special pleasing personality of Swamiji and they seek blessings from him.
Irrespective of caste, all can visit the Math. All the devotees are blessed by Swamiji. Whosoever has received a blessing from Sri has certainly felt a strange experience which is an uncommon phenomenon. Our Holy Swamiji is the incarnation of asterism and Devine values. He is, as if, the eternal strength of Devine light has descended to the earth in the form of the human being. He is a guiding force for the Samaj in all its activities in all walks of life. Under the heavenly guidance of Sri Sri Sachhidanand Jnaneshwar Bharati Mahaswami, Sri Math and Daivajna Brahmins will certainly prosper.
